  • Select tools, create setups, and define optimal machining strategies
  • Work closely with production, engineering, and sales teams to support job planning and quoting
  • Optimize programs for efficiency, accuracy, and tool life
  • Support on-machine setup and troubleshooting as needed

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience programming 3- and 5-axis CNC machines
  • Fluent with Mastercam for milling (required)
  • Strong understanding of machining principles, tool selection, feeds/speeds, and workholding
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and 3D CAD models
  • Experience quoting jobs based on stock material and near-net shapes
  • Preferred: Experience with  Okuma 5-axis mills  
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-driven environment
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

Bonus Points For:
