• Proven experience as a CNC Machinist with a strong background in setup and programming.
• Proficiency in programming via G-Code, Mazatrol, or SurfCam is highly preferred.
• Strong ability to read and interpret advanced manufacturing blueprints and technical drawings.
• Experience operating vertical mills, lathes with live tooling, and/or boring mills (5 years)
• Skilled in using manual inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to verify part precision.
