  • Maintain proper documentation of setups, in-process checks, and part traceability under AS9100D quality procedures.
  • Collaborate with engineering, programming, and quality teams to resolve issues related to tooling or fixturing.
  • Monitor machine operation, make minor tool wear adjustments, and ensure efficient run time.
  • Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all company safety protocols.

Qualifications

  • 7-15 years minimum of CNC set-up experience (5-axis preferred). Familiarity with Matsuura, Doosan, or similar high-precision machining centers.
  • Strong understanding of G-code operations, work offsets, tool lengths, and probing systems (Renishaw preferred).
  • Ability to read and interpret aerospace blueprints and GD&T.
  • Experience with aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and aerospace alloys.
  • Comfort working in an AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015 certified production environment.
  • Basic PC skills for interacting with digital travelers, setup sheets, and inspection logs.
