FANUC Robodrill CNC Milling Setup Specialist

Step Into 2nd Shift Precision at Atlas Fibre
As the floor transitions to 2nd shift, you become the go-to expert who brings a FANUC ROBODRILL to life—dialing in work and tool offsets, validating the first article, and holding tight tolerances while production ramps. If that sounds like your rhythm, you’ll thrive here.

The Role
We’re hiring an experienced 2nd Shift CNC Mill Setup Technician to independently set up and operate FANUC ROBODRILL CNC machining centers. You’ll plan setups from blueprint to first article, solve machining challenges in real time, and keep quality and throughput on target.
What You’ll Handle

• Complete setups and operate FANUC ROBODRILL CNC machining centers.
• Interpret blueprints and work instructions; apply GD&T in practice.
• Install tooling; establish and verify work and tool offsets.
• Set up vises, fixtures, and robust work holding for repeatability.
• Run first articles, confirm results, and adjust offsets as needed.
• Track tool wear, replace cutters, and optimize tool life.
• Inspect parts with calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges.
• Hit quality and production goals while following all safety procedures.

• 3+ years of CNC mill setup experience.
• Hands-on background with FANUC ROBODRILL or comparable FANUC-controlled VMCs.
• Fluent in blueprint reading and GD&T.
• Strong with precision metrology: calipers, micrometers, indicators, height gauges.
• Resourceful troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Proven ability to maintain tight tolerances in production.

• Setup Planning:
  Before a ROBODRILL setup, what do you verify from the blueprint, setup sheet, program, tooling list, material, and work holding?
• Setup & Offsets:
  How do you establish and confirm work offsets and tool offsets, and ensure the vise/fixture is indicated correctly before the first run?
• First Article & Troubleshooting:
  If the first article fails, how do you isolate whether the cause is setup, tooling, program, work holding, the machine, or measurement?
• Tooling & Quality:
  What indicates that a tool is dull, chipped, deflecting, rubbing, or wrong for the material—and how do you correct it?
• ROBODRILL
