Responsibilities

1. Technical Skills & Knowledge

• Blueprint Reading: The ability to interpret complex technical drawings, including understanding GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols.

  • Micrometers and Calipers
    
    
  • Bore Gauges and Height Gauges

• Machine Setup: Selecting the correct work-holding devices (vises, chucks, fixtures) and "touching off" tools to set zero points.

Modern machining is increasingly digital. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you must be tech-savvy.

• G-Code and M-Code: The foundational programming languages used to tell the machine how to move.
  
  
• CAM Software: Proficiency in software like Mastercam, Fusion 360, or SolidWorks to convert 3D models into machine instructions.
