• Perform conversational programming directly at the machine control.
• Plan machining operations and complete assigned projects with limited supervision.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings quickly and accurately.
• Interpret dimensional tolerances and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Perform complex machining setups and work accurately to close tolerances.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, feeds, and cutting conditions.
• Grind and sharpen cutting tools as required.
• Manufacture, modify, fit, troubleshoot, and repair tooling and precision components.
• Inspect completed work using appropriate precision measuring instruments.
• Identify and communicate drawing, tooling, material, or quality concerns before proceeding.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area.
Required Qualifications
• Minimum of five years of experience as a Toolmaker.
• Practical experience with both conventional and CNC machining.
• Strong conversational CNC/NC programming skills.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret GD&T.
• Knowledge of cutting tools, speeds, feeds, and machining practices.
• Experience performing complex setups and working to close tolerances.
• Tool-grinding and cutting-tool sharpening experience.
• Broad knowledge of tooling and precision tool fabrication.
• Ability to work independently without bypassing quality or safety requirements.
• Strong problem-solving, organization, and project follow-through skills.
