  • Troubleshoot setup-related issues and keep production moving with minimal supervision.

  • Partner with programming and quality teams to streamline setups and improve efficiency.

  • Maintain a clean, organized work area that meets 5S and safety standards.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of CNC setup experience.

  • Ability to set up and run jobs from start to finish.

  • Strong knowledge of G-code, tooling, and workholding strategies.

  • Skilled with precision measuring equipment (micrometers, calipers, indicators, etc.).

  • Excellent problem-solving ability and sharp attention to detail.

  • Comfortable following both written and verbal instructions.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience setting up 3, 4, and/or 5 axis mills.

  • Background in low-volume, high-mix job shop environments.
