  • Design or coordinate the purchase of special cutting tools, cams, fixtures, and induction tooling.
  • Partner with Engineering to develop prototypes and introduce new parts into production.
  • Work closely with Quality on calibration tooling requirements, statistical process control, and quality-related concerns.
  • Participate in hiring, onboarding, performance reviews, employee development, and corrective-action processes.
  • Review employee requests for vacation, sick time, and overtime in accordance with company procedures.
  • Evaluate staffing requirements and recommend temporary support when appropriate.
  • Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas.
  • Participate in cost-reduction and continuous-improvement initiatives.
  • Evaluate equipment and process improvements that could increase productivity, quality, or capacity.
  • Review outsourced components and identify opportunities to bring work in-house when practical and cost-effective.
  • Open, secure, and close the facility as required.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
  • Three to five years of related machine shop experience.
  • Previous supervisory, team-lead, or other machine shop leadership experience.
