Responsibilities
Autonomy: Setup, run, inspect, and document results across our floor, heavily utilizing advanced 5-axis machines and mill-turn centers.
Manual Fundamentals: You don’t just rely on the machine; you understand exactly what the cutter is doing. You leverage deep manual machining fundamentals to troubleshoot chatter, read chip formation, optimize tool pressure, and tackle the most complex setups.
Strategy & Execution: Select tooling, establish offsets, build bulletproof workholding strategies, and optimize processes.
Quality Control: Hold tight tolerances from the first piece through the final run using manual micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
Programming Mastery: Read, understand, and efficiently edit G-code and M-code on the floor to restore quality and maximize throughput.
Problem Solving: Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and machine variables on the fly to achieve first-article success on both proven and unproven parts
Advanced Quality (preferred): The ability to program/operate CMMs and independently conduct formal First Article Inspections (FAI) is highly preferred).
Advanced Programmer (preferred): Experience fully programming from scratch in Mastercam is a plus but not required
