- Read and apply blueprints, technical drawings, and full GD&T callouts.
- Load raw material and manage machining cycles from first-piece through production.
- Fine-tune offsets, tooling, speeds, and feeds for accuracy and throughput.
- Run first-article and in-process inspections; use micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and indicators.

- Swap inserts, change tooling/fixtures, and correct chatter, wear, or size issues.
- Keep machines clean and on a preventive maintenance schedule.
- Document production runs and quality checks.
- Turning centers: 2-axis to multi-axis, including live tooling configurations.
- Control platforms:
Fanuc, Haas, Mazak.
- Strong command of CNC turning fundamentals and process stability.
- Print reading with GD&T fluency.

- Manufacturing Engineer
- Quality Inspector / CMM Programmer
- Hands-on with live tooling or Swiss-style lathes.
