Responsibilities:
- Set-up, edit current programs, create new programs (they use Mazatrol, and some Gibbscam – currently not using it a ton, but may use more in the future). MasterCAM, SurfCAM, and other CAM software may be considered as they are transferrable. Will be machining parts for the petro/chemical and automotive industries. They have mostly Mazak CNC machines in there, but also has an Okuma and a Hardinge. Some are Mills and some are Lathes, but most of their lathes are 3 axis “live tooling” machines which machine more complicated parts.

- Comfortable in a prototype short-run environment
