Advanced CNC Manufacturing Technician

Build What Powers the Semiconductor Industry at GPR Company, Inc. — Fairfield, NJ 07004

Do you enjoy solving machining challenges, dialing in first‑article success, and elevating programs right at the control? At GPR, a leading contract manufacturer to major semiconductor equipment companies, your precision mindset will turn complex drawings into production‑ready parts.

Ready for the Challenge?

Picture this: you receive a new job traveler, confirm details with engineering, and translate prints with GD&T into an efficient set‑up on both horizontal and vertical machining centers. You validate the first piece with micrometers, calipers, and pin gages, tweak offsets or G‑code to hit nominal, and then submit for First Article approval—keeping everything documented in ERP with accurate time entries.

Your Impact

• Set up and operate HMCs and VMCs for production runs and prototypes; prior experience with both is required.
• Edit G‑code and propose improvements to existing programs to enhance quality and throughput.
• Collaborate with engineering, supervision, and manufacturing teams to exchange technical know‑how and drive continuous improvement.
• Interpret blueprints and verbal instructions; apply a practical understanding of GD&T.
• Perform meticulous in‑process checks and a comprehensive machine‑side “First Piece” inspection before submitting for First Article approval.
• Record precise job times in the ERP system and coordinate with production planning for accurate scheduling.
• Demonstrate Good Machining Practices (GMP), maintain 5S, and adhere to all safety procedures.

What You Need to Succeed

• 5+ years as a CNC machinist with proven production set‑up capability.
• Fluency in G‑code, CNC tooling strategies, blueprint reading, and GD&T fundamentals.
• Comfort with precision hand tools: pin gages, micrometers, calipers.
• Experience with: CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Mazak, Haas, Doosan; CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) — Mazak.
• Full personal tool set suitable for CNC operations.
• Education: High School Diploma (or equivalent). Completion of an accredited, indentured apprenticeship or high school plus a 2‑year technical program is valued.
• Language: English; Mindset: dependable, positive, team‑oriented.
