• Determine appropriate tooling, feeds, speeds, and cutting approaches to balance part quality, cycle time, and machine performance.

• Assist with first-run validation on the shop floor, diagnose programming or machining issues, and implement adjustments that improve repeatability.

• Work closely with manufacturing personnel and engineering teams to strengthen production flow, increase output, and hold demanding tolerances.

• Keep program files, setup details, and revision records organized and up to date to support accurate production execution.

• Follow established quality and safety expectations throughout programming and process support activities.

• Contribute to ongoing process improvement efforts, including support for automated or palletized machining operations when needed.

• At least 3 years of CNC programming experience within a manufacturing setting.

• Advanced proficiency with Mastercam and the ability to create effective programs for milling applications.

• Solid understanding of both vertical and horizontal milling processes.

• Ability to read engineering drawings, interpret GD& T, and work from CAD or solid models.

• Experience selecting tooling and improving machining strategies for efficiency and precision.

• Strong troubleshooting, analytical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.

• Familiarity with Mazak Smooth Control, Mazak Palletech systems, or Fanuc controls is preferred.

• Background in high-mix, low-volume machining or similarly complex production environments is a plus.
