  • Load, edit, and optimize CNC bending programs
  • Interpret blueprints, prints, and GD&T requirements to ensure part accuracy
  • Conduct first piece validation and make necessary adjustments (springback, offsets, etc.)
  • Troubleshoot bending defects such as wrinkling, flattening, and distortion
  • Work with engineering and tooling teams to develop and refine bending processes
  • Use checking fixtures, gauges, and measuring equipment to verify quality
  • Maintain production efficiency while ensuring tight tolerance requirements are met
  • Support continuous improvement efforts related to cycle time, scrap reduction, and quality


Required Skills & Experience

  • 3+ years of experience in CNC tube bending (setup preferred)
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • Rotary draw bending
    • Mandrel bending
  • Proven ability to perform machine setups and tooling adjustments independently
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and GD&T
  • Experience with springback compensation and bend sequence adjustments
  • Familiarity with multi-axis CNC bending machines
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills


Preferred Experience (Highly Valued)

  • Experience with machines such as:
    • Eaton Leonard
    • BLM
    • Pines
    • Unison
    • Schwarze-Robitec
  • Experience working with:
    • High-strength steels (AHSS)
    • Stainless steel
    • Aluminum tubing and extrusions
  • Background in:
    • Tube laser cutting
    • Welding (MIG/TIG)
    • Fabrication or assembly processes
  • Experience with CMM, Faro Arm, or advanced inspection equipment
  • Exposure to automotive OEM or Tier 1 production environments
