Technical Lead (US)

Job Summary

Key Responsibilities

• Program Generation: Translate technical engineering blueprints, CAD models, and work orders into precision machine instructions.
• CAM & Manual Coding: Develop tool paths using CAM software or write/edit manual G-code and M-code.
• Machine Setup & Tooling: Select optimal cutting tools, workholding fixtures, feed rates, and spindle speeds.
• Optimization & Debugging: Run simulations, execute dry runs/test cuts, and fix program collisions or efficiency bottlenecks.
• Quality Assurance: Inspect finished components using micrometers, calipers, and gauges to verify blueprint tolerances.
• Collaboration & Maintenance: Support shop-floor operators, train staff, track raw materials, and perform routine equipment maintenance. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Education: High school diploma, ITI certificate, or a Diploma/Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Machining. [1, 2, 3]
• Experience: Typically 2 to 10+ years of hands-in CNC machining and programming experience (depending on multi-axis complexity like 3-axis or 5-axis mill-turn). [1, 2, 3]
• Software Proficiency:
  • CAD/CAM tools: Fusion 360, Mastercam, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Hypermill.
  • Controllers: Familiarity with Fanuc, Siemens, or similar CNC controllers. [1, 2]
• Technical Knowledge: Strong command of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), blueprint reading, metal/material properties, and math/geometry.
