You'll use a Harrison lathe, an XYZ milling machine, and a Haas CNC turning centre, moving easily between manual and CNC work.
You'll handle CAM programming, using Fusion 360. You'll fit turned parts into the machines, add wheels and mechanical assemblies, helping the assembly team get machines ready for customers.
