CNC Nesting Technician (Temporary)
JOB# 75251
Location: Merced, CA

Pay Rate: $22.00 – $24.00 per hour
Position Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented Nesting Technician to support our client’s manufacturing operations in Merced. The primary focus of this role is to utilize nesting software to arrange cutting patterns for raw materials (sheet metal) to ensure maximum yield and minimal waste. This is a critical role for maintaining production efficiency during a high-volume and pace.
Key Responsibilities
  • Pattern Optimization: Use nesting software to layout parts on standard material sheets, optimizing material utilization and machine runtime.
  • File Management: Import CAD drawings (DXF/DWG) and convert them into machine-ready nesting layouts.
  • Material Coordination: Select appropriate material gauges and sheet sizes based on job specifications.
  • Quality Control: Review nested patterns to ensure proper spacing (lead-ins/outs) and verify that part geometries match production orders.
  • Waste Reduction: Track and report material yield; identify opportunities to use "remnant" material for smaller parts.
Qualifications
  • Experience: 2-3 years of experience in a manufacturing or fabrication environment, specifically working with CNC machinery (Laser, Plasma, Waterjet).
  • Software Skills: Proficiency with nesting software (e.g., Pronest, SigmaNEST, TruTops, Mastercam, or similar) and basic knowledge of AutoCAD.
  • Mathematical Aptitude: Strong understanding of spatial reasoning and basic geometry.
  • Reliability: Ability to commit to work with a focus on precision and deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills (emails, in-person)
About the Role
This is a fast-paced, temporary assignment perfect for a technician with strong technical skills looking for a short-term project. You will be working on-site at our Merced facility, contributing directly to the efficiency of our fabrication team.
