• Interpret and read blueprints, engineering drawings, and work instructions to ensure the accuracy of machined parts.
• Perform adjustments to CNC programs as needed to optimize efficiency and ensure product quality.
• Conduct thorough machine setups, including alignment and calibration of tools, fixtures, and workpieces.
• Utilize precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) to verify part dimensions and tolerances.
• Troubleshoot and resolve machining issues independently, minimizing downtime and maintaining optimal production flow.
• Adhere to all safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized work environment.
• Collaborate with team members and communicate effectively to meet production targets and quality standards.
• Ensure the proper maintenance and care of CNC machines and equipment, including performing routine checks.

Required Skills and Qualifications:
