• Write, develop, and optimise CNC programmes, ideally using Fusion 360 software for complex components and precision-engineered parts
• Programme and operate 3 and 5-axis Haas milling machines, interpreting technical drawings, CAD data, GD and T, material specifications, and tooling requirements.
• Select suitable tooling, cutting parameters, fixturing, machines, and materials for each application
• Support machine setup activities, including programme loading, tooling installation, alignment, and first-off production runs
• Test and validate programs, making adjustments to improve quality, cycle times, and efficiency
• Perform first-part inspections and implement machining process improvements where required
• Troubleshoot machining issues, including dimensional errors, chatter, tooling concerns, and process instability
• Collaborate with engineers and machinists to resolve manufacturing challenges and improve process performance
• Maintain setup sheets, inspection records, tooling lists, and program revision documentation
