Job description

Description:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Assist in the design of CNC workholding fixtures (milling/turning/secondary ops) to improve part stability, repeatability, and throughput.
  • Create and maintain 2D/3D CAD models and drawings for fixtures, soft jaws, nests, clamps, and related tooling.
  • Collaborate with engineers, tool room machinists and CNC operators to review fixture concepts, incorporate feedback, and support build/debug.
  • Support fixture prove-outs on the shop floor; document results and implement revisions as needed.
  • Assist with process documentation including set-up sheets, work instructions, tooling lists, and basic process flow documentation.
  • Support continuous improvement efforts (cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, ergonomic/safety improvements) using structured problem-solving.
  • Participate in root cause analysis for fixture- or process-related quality issues (5-Why, fishbone) and help implement corrective actions.
  • Help standardize tooling/fixture components and support basic tooling inventory and identification practices.
  • Assist with engineering changes affecting fixturing, gaging, and process steps; update documentation accordingly.
  • Work cross-functionally with Quality and Inspection to ensure fixtures support print requirements and measurement strategy.
  • Follow all safety policies; support EHS requirements related to guarding, clamping forces, pinch points, and safe setup practices.


Requirements:

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (0–2 years experience).
  • Basic understanding of machining concepts (turning/milling), fixturing fundamentals, and how workholding impacts quality.

  • Working knowledge of CAD (SolidWorks preferred; equivalent acceptable).
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to be hands-on in a manufacturing environment.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel/Word).

Preferred

  • co-op in machining, tooling, or manufacturing engineering.
  • Exposure to fixture design principles: locating schemes (3-2-1), datum strategy, clamp methods, repeatability.
  • Familiarity with common shop measuring tools and concepts (calipers, micrometers, indicators).
  • Basic knowledge of machining process planning and tooling selection.
  • Experience with ERP/MRP systems or basic BOM/tool lists.

Key Competencies

  • Practical mechanical aptitude and curiosity
  • Clear communication with machinists/operators

  • Will frequently support tool room builds and production prove-outs at machines.

What Success Looks Like (first 6–12 months)

  • Designs and releases simple fixtures with supervision, then progressively more complex workholding.
  • Builds strong relationships with tool room and operators; responds quickly to production needs.
  • Helps reduce setup time, improves repeatability, and contributes to scrap reduction through better workholding.

Tools/Software

SolidWorks (or similar CAD), basic CAM exposure a plus, Excel, and document control practices.

Compensation:
