Full Job Description

Kruger Family Industries (“KFI”) is a family-owned manufacturing conglomerate dedicated to producing high-quality Returnable Packaging, OEM Components, and Automotive Accessories. With multiple manufacturing facilities across key locations, we pride ourselves on fostering a team-oriented environment that emphasizes operational excellence and continuous growth.

Summary
The CNC Programmer / Pattern Maker is the key technical resource responsible for leading KFI's in-house pattern-making operation at the Portage facility. This person owns the entire pattern build process from start to finish, including schedule management, CAM programming, CNC machining, 3D printed pattern trimming, finishing, and inspection. The role carries full accountability for pattern completion dates and is expected to proactively communicate schedule status to Engineering and Operations stakeholders.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Wood & Ren Board Fabrication: Build, construct, and CNC machine master patterns, plugs, and molds from scratch using hardwood, plywood, Ren Shape/polyurethane tooling boards, and epoxy.
CNC Machining of 3D Printed Tools: Set up and operate 3-axis and 5-axis CNC routers and mills to precisely machine, trim, and finish 3D-printed polymer patterns into production-ready thermoforming plugs.
Aluminum Mold Maintenance & Modification: Modify, repair, and rework existing cast aluminum molds when engineering changes or production wear require updates; perform precise drilling, milling, and manual bench work on aluminum tooling.
Post-Processing & Surface Finishing: Sand, fill, polish, and apply heat-resistant coatings to machined 3D prints, wood, Ren board, and aluminum surfaces to achieve optimal, defect-free finishes.
Apply Draft & Venting: Inspect all tooling to guarantee proper draft angles for clean part release, and drill or clear precise vacuum vent holes to optimize production airflow.
CNC Programming & G-Code: Load, test, and optimize CNC programs; perform basic G-code edits at the controller to accommodate variations in wood, printed polymers, and cast aluminum.
Inspect & Verify: Use calipers, micrometers, and depth gauges to inspect finished tools, ensuring they maintain tight engineering tolerances (± 0.005").
Engineering Collaboration: Partner with the on-site design engineering team to provide feedback on 3D print machining allowances, material stock, and aluminum mold design updates.
Performs other job duties and assignments as requested or as business needs require.

Education and/or Experience

High school diploma/GED required; CNC machining certification, tool & die certification, or trade apprenticeship preferred.
3+ years of experience in CNC machining, pattern making, mold making, or precision tool/die fabrication.
Proven experience machining and working with a wide range of materials, including wood, Ren shape/tooling board, plastics (ABS), and metals (cast aluminum).
Proven track record setting up and running CNC mills or large-format routers. Strong traditional model shop bench-work skills are essential.
Strong ability to read 3D engineering files, blueprints, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
