- Why This Role Exists

Hu Friedy Group  is expanding its  high-mix, low-volume precision machining  capability to support world-class dental and medical instruments. This role exists to strengthen  4-axis machining capability , reduce setup redundancy, and support complex multi-face parts with tight quality requirements.

This is a  true setup role  — not an operator position — with real ownership over machine accuracy, repeatability, and process improvement.

- The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

Independently set up  HAAS 3-axis and 4-axis CNC milling machines

Install, indicate, and align  4-axis rotary tables (A-axis) , tail stocks, and tombstones

Load, verify, edit, and prove out CNC programs using indexed and continuous 4-axis motion

Establish and verify  work offsets (G54–G59) , rotary offsets, and tool length offsets

Perform  first-article inspections  on multi-face components and adjust offsets/programs in real time

Troubleshoot advanced 4-axis issues including:

Angular misalignment

Rotary zero-return errors

Positional repeatability problems

Tool clearance and collision risk

Optimize machining strategies to reduce multiple setups through effective 4-axis indexing

Support frequent changeovers in a  high-mix, low-volume  environment

Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering on fixture design, tooling, and program improvements

Train and support CNC Operators on safe operation and 4-axis best practices
