    Job Description

    Make, Measure, and Move Fast

    Join us to turn digital models into precisely machined parts. If you thrive on translating CAD data into clean toolpaths and bulletproof setups, this role puts you at the center of design‑to‑manufacture.

    Your Impact

    • Transform CAD intent into accurate, efficient machining strategies for multi‑axis CNC mills and manual lathes.
    • Guarantee design fidelity by reading blueprints/specifications and validating results with precision metrology and CMM.
    • Bridge design and production by building 2D drawings and 3D models in AutoCAD, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, and Mastercam.
    • Program CAM toolpaths directly from CAD models for reliable, repeatable output.
    • Keep manufacturing data current through documentation and administrative work in Oracle Manufacturing.

    Core Responsibilities

    • Set up, program, and operate multi‑axis CNC mills; perform manual lathe operations when required.
    • Plan machining sequences from prints and CAD/CAM files to ensure 100% alignment with engineering designs.
    • Conduct in‑process and final inspections using micrometers, calipers, and CMM equipment.
    • Develop and optimize toolpaths and workholding for prototypes and production runs.

    Required Background

    • 3D CAD modeling experience in Siemens NX or SolidWorks.
    • Degree in Precision Machining Technology or CAD certifications; or 1–2 years of equivalent industry experience.
    • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word.
    • Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate across all organizational levels.

    Preferred Plus

    • Exposure to Injection Molding, Extrusion, Thermoforming, and Dip Molding.
    • Experience with Oracle Manufacturing for documentation/administration.

    Technical Strengths

    • CNC tooling knowledge and selection.
    • Multi‑axis CNC programming.
    • CNC machine setup and changeover.
    • Production run setups and optimization.
    • Manual machining expertise.
