A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Technician is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining CNC machines used for manufacturing precision parts and components. Their primary duties include:

• Machine Setup: Preparing CNC machines for operation by installing tools, loading programs, and calibrating settings according to specifications.
• Operation: Monitoring the machining process to ensure that parts are produced according to the required tolerances and specifications.
• Quality Control: Inspecting finished products for accuracy and adherence to specifications using measuring instruments such as calipers and micrometers.
• Maintenance: Performing routine maintenance and troubleshooting on CNC machines to ensure optimal operation and minimize downtime.
• Programming: Creating or modifying CNC programs as needed, using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software to optimize production efficiency.
• Documentation: Maintaining documentation of production processes, work orders, and quality control records for compliance and efficiency tracking.

CNC Technicians typically work in manufacturing environments across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and metal fabrication.
