CNC Machinist

Requirements

• Able to follow detailed work instructions (verbal and written) to setup and operate CNC machines.
• Able to read and interpret (GD&T) geometric dimensions and tolerances.
• Proficient in the use of various measuring instruments calipers, micrometers, dial bore gages, micro height etc.
• Proficient in deburring, tapping, and polishing to all required dimensions and surface finishes.
