  • Develop or revise operational sequence routings for new and existing parts.
  • Review new parts to identify required tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing processes.
  • Review shop orders to confirm that the appropriate work center is being used based on production quantities and machine capabilities.
  • Maintain tooling inventory and order necessary supplies for the tool crib.
  • 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.
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of manual machining methods and equipment.
  • Working knowledge of CNC machine operations, setups, and basic adjustments.
  • Ability to troubleshoot machine setups, tooling, and machining issues.
  • Advanced CNC programming experience is not required.
  • Experience scheduling work and managing competing production priorities.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, work orders, shop routings, and technical specifications.
  • ERP experience and strong general computer skills.
  • Strong leadership, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
