This role requires strong technical knowledge, organizational skills, and the ability to meet tight production deadlines.

Key Responsibilities

Machine Setup & Operation

• Set up and operate CNC routers for precision cutting, engraving, and shaping of signage materials including ACM (Aluminum Composite), acrylic, PVC, HDU, aluminum, polycarbonate, foam board, and wood.
• Load and secure sheets using vacuum tables, clamps, or fixtures while ensuring proper material alignment.
• Select and install correct router bits, drills, and cutting tools for each material and operation.
• Adjust spindle speeds, feed rates, and cutting depths to ensure optimal cutting quality and efficiency.

CAM / Toolpath Preparation

• Import and prepare CNC files from Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or CAD/CAM software (EnRoute, VCarve, Aspire, Fusion, or similar).
• Generate and verify toolpaths, cut order, tabs, pocketing, and engraving operations.
• Ensure correct material thickness settings and tool offsets before running production jobs.
• Review files for potential issues that could cause tool collisions, improper cuts, or wasted materials.

Signage Fabrication Processes

• Cut and machine components for dimensional signage, panel systems, and fabricated sign structures.
• Produce parts for channel letters, push-through acrylic letters, cabinet signs, routed letters, and logo shapes.
• Machine ACM panels for sign faces, backers, and architectural cladding systems.
• Route PVC or HDU dimensional letters and shapes for painted signage.
• Produce acrylic inserts, stencils, and template components used in signage manufacturing.

Sheet Optimization & Material Efficiency

• Nest parts efficiently to maximize sheet usage and minimize material waste.
• Plan cutting layouts for large-format sheets (4?8, 5?10, etc.).
• Track material usage and identify opportunities to reduce waste and improve yield.

Quality Control

• Verify finished parts for accurate dimensions, smooth edges, and correct profiles.
• Inspect routing quality to ensure no burning, melting, or chipping of materials.
• Confirm finished components match design files and production specifications.

Machine Maintenance & Tool Management

• Perform routine maintenance including cleaning vacuum beds, checking lubrication, and inspecting machine components.
• Monitor tool wear and replace bits or tooling when needed to maintain cut quality.
• Maintain inventory of commonly used router bits, drill bits, and cutting tools.

Production Coordination
