- Set up and operate a wide range of manual and CNC machine tools, including mills, lathes, and multi-axis equipment
- Write, edit, and optimize CNC programs using CAM software or G-code at the machine control
- Interpret complex engineering drawings, assembly prints, and advanced GD&T callouts
- Develop custom fixturing, tooling strategies, and work-holding solutions for new or challenging part geometries
- Perform advanced in-process and final inspections using precision instruments including CMM, optical comparators, and surface profilometers
- Troubleshoot machining defects, identify root causes, and perform corrective actions to restore part conformance
- Lead first article inspections (FAI) and maintain detailed documentation such as setup sheets, tooling lists, and inspection records
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to Machinists and Machine Operators to elevate overall shop floor capabilities
