  • Adjust existing CNC programs, tooling, and machining parameters to maintain quality, repeatability, set-up efficiency, and production performance within approved process limits.
  • Support tooling selection, fixture setup, and execution of established machining strategies.
  • Perform precision inspections using established inspection methods and validate dimensional compliance against drawings, GD&T requirements, and quality standards.
  • Support FAI activities, set-up documentation, inspection records, and updates to standard work based on approved process changes.
  • Troubleshoot machining, tooling, set-up, dimensional, and process-related issues within assigned production processes; escalate complex issues requiring advanced process development or cross-functional corrective actions.
  • Identify and implement set-up reduction, throughput, and machining efficiency improvements within assigned processes using established practices.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality and operations teams to resolve production issues and implement approved manufacturing solutions.
  • Support prototype and low-volume machining activities by executing assigned set-ups, documenting set-up insights, and providing feedback on manufacturability or process risks.
  • Train and support less experienced CNC personnel on set-up practices, machine operation, inspection techniques, basic troubleshooting, program adjustment and other established process requirements.

Job Requirements
