• Load, edit, and optimize CNC bending programs
• Interpret blueprints, prints, and GD&T requirements to ensure part accuracy
• Conduct first piece validation and make necessary adjustments (springback, offsets, etc.)
• Troubleshoot bending defects such as wrinkling, flattening, and distortion
• Work with engineering and tooling teams to develop and refine bending processes
• Use checking fixtures, gauges, and measuring equipment to verify quality
• Maintain production efficiency while ensuring tight tolerance requirements are met
• Support continuous improvement efforts related to cycle time, scrap reduction, and quality
