Cnc Machinist Jobs in Pennington, NJ

A CNC Machinist, also known as a CNC Operator, is an instrumental player in the manufacturing industry. They operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, which are automated tools used to manufacture and remodel metal and plastic parts. Duties include interpreting blueprints, adjusting machine settings, conducting quality checks, and maintaining the machine. They need excellent technical skills to understand complex machinery and the ability to solve problems quickly if a machine malfunctions. Time management and attention to detail are crucial as they often work on tight schedules to produce precision parts.

Prospective CNC Machinists should have a high school diploma or equivalent, with a focus on mathematics, computer technology, and mechanical drawing. Many also complete an apprenticeship or obtain a post-secondary award in CNC operations or a similar field. Some important certifications include the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification and CNC Machine Operator certification. Prior to becoming a CNC Machinist, individuals may work as machine operators, machine setup operators, or machinist apprentices to gain hands-on experience and learn about the manufacturing industry.
