CNC Manufacturing Documentation Reviewer

Job Title

• CNC Manufacturing Documentation Reviewer / CNC Job Pack Expert

About the Role

• We are looking for experienced CNC manufacturing professionals to review real-world CNC job packs submitted by manufacturing companies, CNC shops, machinists, or production teams.
• The role involves checking whether submitted CNC documentation is authentic, technically relevant, complete, and suitable for use in an AI evaluation / manufacturing workflow research project.

The submitted materials may include engineering drawings, CAD/CAM files, G-code, setup sheets, tooling lists, process plans, inspection reports, material certificates, control plans, job cards, and other manufacturing documentation.

• This is a reviewer role, not a design or programming role. The main responsibility is to evaluate the quality and completeness of submitted CNC job packs.

Responsibilities

The expert will be expected to

• Review submitted CNC job packs and confirm whether they appear to come from real CNC manufacturing work.
• Check that files are not publicly available, AI-generated, generic, or artificially created.
• Verify whether all files belong to the same part, job, drawing number, customer part number, or production workflow.
• Evaluate technical completeness of each job pack.
• Review engineering drawings, ballooned drawings, tolerances, material specifications, setup sheets, tool lists, process flow charts, control plans, and inspection documents.
• Check whether CNC production artifacts such as G-code, CAM output, toolpath documents, or setup instructions are meaningful and connected to the job.
• Identify missing or weak artifacts.
• Flag confidential, personal, customer, or company-sensitive information that should be redacted.
• Provide a short quality assessment and recommendation: accept, accept with minor issues, request more information, or reject.

Required Experience

• Candidates should have practical experience with at least some of the following:
• CNC milling and/or CNC turning
• Reading engineering drawings and GD&T/tolerances
• CNC setup sheets and machining instructions

CAD/CAM workflows

G-code / NC files

• Tooling lists and cutting tools
• Process routing / job cards / travelers
• Inspection reports, QC checklists, CMM reports, or control plans
• Material certificates / mill test reports

Real shop-floor manufacturing documentation

What You Will Review

A strong CNC job pack may include

• Customer request, RFQ, PO, or internal work order
• Job card / route card / traveler
• Engineering drawing or ballooned drawing
• CAD files such as STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, or native CAD
• CAM files, toolpath exports, operation sheets, or setup sheets

G-code / NC files

Tooling list

CNC setup instructions

• Process flow chart or control plan
• Material specification or mill test certificate

Raw material inspection report

In-process inspection report

• Final inspection report / CMM report
• Photos of the part, setup, fixture, or machining process

Candidate Requirements

Applicants should

• Have direct experience in CNC manufacturing, CNC programming, machining, or manufacturing quality control.
• Be comfortable reviewing technical drawings and manufacturing documents.
• Understand what real CNC job documentation looks like.
• Be able to identify incomplete, fake, public, or low-value files.
• Be detail-oriented and able to provide clear written feedback in English.
• Be available for part-time, project-based review work.
