Precision CNC Milling Specialist (VMC)

Precision CNC Milling Specialist (VMC)Location: Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670

Picture the start of your day: you open a job traveler, confirm tooling, and load a new program. A quick blueprint review guides your setup, you touch off tools, set work offsets, and run a first-article part. Calipers and micrometers confirm the numbers; a small G-Code tweak dials in the finish. Machines hum steadily as you monitor cycle after cycle, keeping quality at the center of every decision. That’s a typical day in this role—owning setup through inspection while collaborating with teammates to keep production moving smoothly.
