  • Start and observe machine operation, detect malfunctions or out-of-tolerance conditions, and make adjustments.
  • Verify conformance of finished workpieces to specifications using inspection instruments (calipers, micrometers, height gauges).
  • Perform trial runs, maintain and clean machining equipment, and create tooling and holding fixtures as needed.
  • Assist other departments as assigned, including assembly, bonding, soldering, and packaging tasks.
Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role

  • Six (6) or more years' experience operating and setting up conventional and CNC lathes, mills, and other machine shop equipment.
  • Training in CNC machining, inspection techniques, and shop safety.

  • Ability to perform basic and applied math relevant to geometry, trigonometry, fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions.
  • Ability to work independently, produce quality parts, and communicate effectively in English.
  • Physical ability to perform job duties (stand, walk, lift up to 25 pounds, close vision, color vision) and tolerate shop noise and exposure to mechanical parts and particles.
Here's What Else Might Help You Out
  • Knowledge of Fadal and Haas machines.
  • Experience with 4-axis machining.
