Key Responsibilities:- Full-Cycle Production - Set up and operate 5-axis milling centers to produce high-precision molds and dies.
- CAM Programming - Utilize Gibbs Cam , Fusion 360, Mastercam/Hypermill to create and refine 5-axis toolpaths, ensuring optimal surface finishes and minimized cycle times.
- Technical Interpretation - Read and interpret complex engineering drawings.
- Precision Measurement - Validate part integrity using CMM, optical comparators, and manual precision tools to maintain tolerances.
- Problem Solving - Identify and resolve machining issues, including tool deflection, vibration, and thermal expansion.
This is not a remote position.
Must Have:- Minimum of 5 years of experience in CNC machining, with at least 2 years focused specifically on 5-axis simultaneous operations.
- Minimum of High School Diploma or equivalent
- Deep understanding of cutting tool geometry, speeds/feeds and advanced work-holding strategies.
