• Produce and verify large shafts and cylindrical components to meet strict ±.001 tolerance requirements.
• Analyze and translate technical drawings, blueprints, and project specifications.
• Utilize precision measuring instruments, gauges, and micrometers to conduct thorough in-process quality checks.
• Update and refine G-code programming to optimize machining performance.
• Ensure consistent part accuracy to help maintain high manufacturing standards for the entire facility.

Required Skills and Experience

• At least 2 years of professional CNC lathe turning experience.
• At least 2 years of background in conventional machining.
• Proven expertise in program adjustments, offsets, and machine setup.
• Proficiency in G-code programming and editing.
• Familiarity with FANUC or similar control interfaces (Siemens is an added bonus).
• Advanced capability in interpreting blueprints and utilizing measurement tools.
• Background in machining large shafts or cylindrical parts is strongly desired.
• Demonstrated ability to consistently achieve tight tolerances of ±.001 to ensure product excellence.
• Must successfully complete a hands-on machining assessment before starting.
