Key Responsibilities * Operate two Fanuc CNC mills concurrently across production runs * Write, edit, and optimize CNC programs in Mastercam and directly at the controller - G-code and M-code from scratch, not just editing existing programs * Own machine setup: tooling, fixtures, work offsets, and setup documentation * Select, specify, and procure cutting tools; manage tooling inventory. * Drive process improvement - toolpath strategy, cycle time reduction, fixture development, feeds and speeds optimization * Provide DFM input to engineering; your machining expertise should make our designs better * Perform in-process quality checks and document results per AS9100D procedures * Proactively identify and escalate tooling wear, program issues, or production problems before they become defects * Participate in evaluation and specification of future CNC equipment * Contribute to longer-term projects: vacuum table design, pallet and fixture systems, and expanding CNC coverage of currently manual operations Qualifications & Experience * 7+ years of CNC machining experience with demonstrated, hands-on programming ability * Fanuc control experience, 0-M or 31i series * Mastercam proficiency: full toolpath generation from 3D model through post-processing * Ability to write, edit, and troubleshoot G-code and M-code at the controller * Experience operating multiple CNC machines simultaneously * Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and multi-revision documentation * Strong ownership mentality, you notice problems before they become defects and you escalate without being asked Preferred Qualifications * Experience machining acrylic, polycarbonate, or other optical-grade plastics * Familiarity with plastic-specific tooling, single-flute geometry, Onsrud or equivalent * Aerospace quality environment experience: AS9100, MIL-spec, ITAR-regulated production * Experience designing or implementing vacuum table and pallet fixturing systems * Experience specifying or evaluating CNC machine tools Schedule & Compensation * Monday-Friday; flexibility on hours provided production commitments are met Overtime available * Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience Benefits: * Health insurance * Paid time off Company DescriptionW3Global was established in 2006 in Fremont, CA with a vision: simplify the recruiting process and develop an industry-disrupting platform to connect candidates with clients.
