• Set up and fixture cast parts, including locating irregular surfaces
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and casting datums
• Perform roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations
• Inspect own work using precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges)
• Work with QC and programmers to ensure correct setups, sequences, and tolerances
• Detect and correct runtime issues (chatter, tool wear, offsets, etc.)
• Maintain clean, organized work area and support shop discipline standards

Requirements

• 5+ years machining castings (required)
• Experience with cast aluminum and/or steel workpieces
• CNC milling experience required; manual work a plus
• Strong blueprint reading & GD&T knowledge
