**Responsibilities:**

-   **Programming:** Write, edit, and optimize CNC programs in NX, including 5-axis mill programs.
-   **Program Validation:** Prove out your own programs at the machine, and partner with machinists to ensure programs run reliably in production.
-   **Setups:** Set up, operate, and maintain multiple CNC mills and lathes.
-   **Blueprints:** Interpret complex prints, GD&T specs, and work instructions.
-   **Inspection:** Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, calipers, and height gauges.
-   **Program Adjustments:** Dial in cycles and cutting parameters to keep processes on spec.
-   **Tooling Maintenance:** Maintain and resurface tooling used in your machines.
