Responsibilities:

Machine Setup:

Independently perform complete, from-scratch CNC machine setups in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment, including tooling, workholding, fixture setup, offsets, and machine preparation.

Machine Operation:

Operate advanced CNC equipment, including 3

•to 5-axis machining centers, mill-turn lathes, and Swiss lathes, while monitoring machine performance, cycle consistency, and part quality throughout production runs.

Setup Optimization:

Troubleshoot setup-related issues and make adjustments to tooling, workholding, feeds, speeds, and offsets as necessary to establish a stable and repeatable machining process.

Precision Inspection:

Perform first article inspections and continuous in-process monitoring using standard metrology tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to hold extremely tight tolerances.

Tooling & Offsets:

Make precise tool offset adjustments, change tools as needed, and ensure all tools and gages are properly calibrated to maintain part accuracy.

Process Ownership:

Read and interpret complex blueprints, technical drawings, and job orders to ensure all parts meet strict customer specifications.

Documentation:

Setups:

Proven ability to perform independent machine setups without relying on standard operators.

Technical:

Strong blueprint reading skills and the ability to understand and execute complex tolerances.

Precision:

Proven ability to hold incredibly tight tolerances and perform accurate first article and in-process inspections.

Dependability:

Highly reliable on a daily basis with the ability to work independently and as part of a team, remaining flexible for overtime needs.

Preferred Advanced Machining:

Specific experience with 5-axis mills, mill-turn machines, or Wire EDM is a major plus.

Materials:

Experience machining exotic metals.

Education:

Technical/trade school certification or additional advanced machining education.

Manufacturing Environment:
