Role Summary:
We are seeking an experienced CNC Lathe Operator (Level II) with hands-on experience running machines with Fanuc controls. This role requires someone who can go beyond basic operation — including offsets, tool changes, and maintaining tight tolerances in a production environment.
This is NOT a button-pushing position. We are looking for a candidate who understands machining processes, can make adjustments independently, and maintain consistent part quality.
Key Responsibilities:
- Operate CNC lathes with Fanuc controls in a production environment.
- Hold tight tolerances of ±0.001 or better.
- Perform tool offsets, wear adjustments, and tool changes.
- Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and technical drawings.
- Use precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges).
- Perform basic troubleshooting and minor machine adjustments.
- Maintain consistent part quality and production output.
- Complete inspection reports and production documentation.
- Assist with basic setup and process adjustments as needed.
- Follow all safety and manufacturing procedures.
Required Qualifications:
- 2+ years of CNC lathe experience (Fanuc controls required).
- Ability to hold tight tolerances (±0.001) consistently.
- Hands-on experience with:
- Offsets and tool wear adjustments.
- Tool changes.
- Blueprint reading .
- Precision measuring tools.
- Strong understanding of machining processes — not just loading parts.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Preferred Experience:
- Experience working in high-volume, tight-tolerance environments.
- Exposure to M-codes and minor program adjustments.
- Experience supporting setups or changeovers.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to lift/push/pull up to 30 lbs.
- Comfortable handling small precision parts.
- Able to work in a manufacturing environment.
