  • Collaborate with other departments and support continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in CNC programming, setting, and operating Hurco milling machines.
  • Familiarity with 4th-axis (rotary table) operations is beneficial.
  • Ability to work to tight tolerances (typically 0.01mm) from complex engineering drawings.
  • Strong understanding of machining principles, tooling, and work holding methods.
  • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently or as part of a team.
  • Flexibility to meet production demands and deadlines.
