PURPOSE OF POSITION

The CNC Technician is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines to produce high-quality precision components in accordance with engineering specifications and production schedules. This role ensures that all machining operations meet required quality standards, safety guidelines, and efficiency targets to support overall manufacturing objectives.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Set up and operate CNC machines (e.g., lathes, mills, routers) based on job specifications, engineering drawings, and production work orders.
• Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and CAD/CAM files to determine machine settings and cutting paths.
• Monitor machine operations during production runs to ensure proper functioning and adherence to quality standards.
• Conduct in-process inspections using measuring instruments (e.g., calipers, micrometers, gauges) to verify dimensions and tolerances.
• Perform routine preventative maintenance and minor repairs on CNC equipment to minimize downtime.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to tool wear, material defects, or programming errors.
• Collaborate with engineers and quality control to refine machining processes and suggest improvements.
• Maintain accurate documentation of machine settings, production output, and inspection results.
• Adhere to all safety protocols, company policies, and regulatory requirements.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and lean manufacturing practices.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS

• Prepare and operate CNC machines in accordance with work instructions, ensuring proper alignment, tooling, and calibration for each production run.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and job specifications to determine machining requirements and tolerances.
• Modify G-code programs as needed to optimize machining performance and achieve desired outcomes.
• Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measurement tools to ensure parts meet dimensional and quality standards.
• Monitor tool wear and replace or adjust tools as necessary to maintain accuracy and extend tool life.
• Identify and resolve equipment or programming issues promptly to minimize downtime and scrap.
• Maintain accurate records of setups, tool changes, inspection results, and production logs.
• Follow all safety protocols, wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), and contribute to a safe working environment.
• Conduct routine maintenance tasks and report any machine issues to maintenance or engineering teams.
• Communicate with engineers, supervisors, and quality assurance personnel to ensure smooth workflow and continuous improvement of machining operations.
• Assist in training new operators and cross-functional team members on CNC processes and best practices.
