Job Description

Senior CNC Milling Setup Specialist (Haas VMC) — Uniontown, PA

Step into a day where your setup expertise drives the pace of a small, established job shop. You arrive around 6:45am, review the morning priority list, and bring a Haas VF-4 online. A quick blueprint study, tooling selection, and a few precise offsets later, youre cutting chips. Before lunch, you pivot to the VF-11 for a small production run; in the afternoon, a custom part challenge calls for basic program edits and a keen eye on GD&T callouts. You wrap up by 3:30pm, having kept quality tight and jobs moving without handholding.

• Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and CAD/CAM outputs to plan setups and verify requirements.

• Select tooling, inspect parts, and hold required tolerances using strong GD&T and inspection skills.
