About this Candidate

DAVRON CV: Candidate 1858709

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER | CNC PROGRAMMING, SETUP & PRECISION MACHINING

Core Expertise

  • CNC programming and proving for 3–5 axis mills and 2-axis lathes.
  • Complete machine setups including fixturing, tooling selection, offsets, and first-piece approval.
  • Equipment maintenance and repair to minimize downtime and sustain production reliability.
  • Supervision and production planning for small-batch and recurring manufacturing runs.
  • Quality inspection and GD&T interpretation to produce precision parts within tight tolerances.

Project Background

  • Programmed and produced prototype and small-batch parts ranging from single pieces to 100-piece runs.
  • Coordinated same-day urgent turnarounds and complex projects extending up to one month.
  • Maintained and troubleshot multi-axis CNC equipment using manufacturer training to maximize uptime.
  • Transitioned jobs from CAD/CAM through machine prove-out and first-part inspection for operator transfer.
  • Machined aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass to tolerances as tight as 0.0005 inch.

Key Skills

  • Haas and TRAK multi-axis mills | 3–5 axis milling | 2-axis turning centers
  • GibbsCAM, Mastercam, SOLIDWORKS, CREO, and AutoCAD for CAD/CAM workflows
  • CNC programming, tooling selection, and program prove-out for production readiness
  • Fixturing, machine setup, offset management, and first-piece inspection
  • Machine maintenance and repair, preventive troubleshooting, and uptime improvement
  • MIG and TIG welding, quality inspection, and GD&T interpretation for precision parts

Awards & Recognition

  • Formal Mastercam training with hands-on coursework and program-prove-out experience
  • Manufacturer machine training (Haas) focused on maintenance and troubleshooting

Why Interview this Candidate?

Brings over a decade of hands-on machining with roughly eight years of independent CNC programming and a track record of taking work from drawing through first-piece approval. Proven ability to supervise operators, improve cycle efficiency, and deliver precision prototypes and small-batch production with tight tolerances; ready to refocus on hands-on programming, setup, and shop-floor impact.
