• Troubleshoot machining issues and implement effective solutions
• Maintain clear, organized program documentation with proper revision tracking
• Support the quoting process with machining strategy input and time estimates
• Contribute to the ongoing development of programming templates, standards, and best practices

What You Bring

• 3+ years of CNC programming experience
• Strong Mastercam proficiency (required)
• Solid understanding of milling and turning processes
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T
• Multi-axis machining experience a plus
