Join our team as a Punch Machine Operator, where you’ll play a key role in producing precision engineered copper busbars and components. In this role, you’ll set up and operate advanced punch/fabrication equipment, create and refine CNC programs, and ensure all parts meet strict quality and tolerance requirements. You’ll use your technical skill, attention to detail, and problem‑solving abilities to support reliable, efficient production.

Working closely with Engineering and Production, you’ll help drive continuous improvement in tooling, processes, and material utilization. This is an excellent opportunity to grow your expertise with sophisticated CNC punch technology in a supportive, safety‑focused environment.

2nd Shift, Tuesday to Friday, 6 am to 4 pm

• Set up and operate a Boschert CU Profi (or similar machine) to produce copper busbars and components per engineering drawings and work orders.
• Install and verify punches, dies, drills/taps, milling tools, deburring heads, and shear blades while calibrating accurate tool offsets.
• Load, clamp, and align copper bar stock to meet program requirements and ensure consistent positional accuracy.
• Perform first‑article and in‑process inspections, making real‑time adjustments to maintain dimensional tolerances.
• Create, edit, and optimize CNC/CAM programs—including CAD import, toolpath generation, nesting, offsets, and post‑processing.
• Conduct simulations, dry runs, and on‑machine prove‑outs to validate toolpaths, eliminate collisions, and improve cut/punch quality.
• Maintain organized program libraries, setup sheets, revision histories, and tooling documentation for repeatable production.
• Interpret detailed engineering drawings and verify critical features using precision metrology tools.
• Monitor tooling wear, machine status, alarms, coolant systems, and perform routine preventive maintenance and 5S/TPM tasks.
• Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance cycle time, quality, tool life, and material utilization.

The above is intended to describe the general content of and requirement for the performance of this job. It is not to be construed as an exhaustive statement of duties, responsibilities or requirements.

• 2–4+ years operating and programming CNC fabrication equipment; busbar/copper bar experience strongly preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with metal fabrication centers that combine punching, drilling, milling, tapping, and shearing.
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM for 2.5D profiles (e.g., importing Solifworks, DXF, defining toolpaths, nesting).
• Ability to read mechanical drawings and strong understanding of tolerances and…
