Weekend Machining Instructor information

What is the difference between Weekend Machining Instructor vs Machining Technician?

AspectWeekend Machining InstructorMachining Technician
CredentialsTypically requires teaching certifications and machining experienceRequires technical certifications or vocational training in machining
Work EnvironmentPart-time, classroom or workshop-based, weekendsFull-time, industrial or manufacturing settings
Employer & IndustryEducational institutions, training centersManufacturing plants, machine shops
Search & Comparison IntentFocus on teaching, training, or instructional rolesFocus on hands-on machining, repair, or production work

While both roles involve machining skills, a Weekend Machining Instructor primarily teaches and trains students or trainees during weekends, often in educational settings. In contrast, a Machining Technician works full-time in industrial environments, performing hands-on machining and maintenance tasks. The key differences lie in their work environment, responsibilities, and focus—one on instruction, the other on practical machining work.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
TECHNICAL TRAINER, CNC MACHINING (STARSHIP COMPONENTS)
A Machining Technical Trainer is driven by the fundamental belief that hands-on technical education is essential to building world-class manufacturing capability. This role combines that belief with a strong sense of urgency, creativity, and resourcefulness to develop and deliver practical training that enables the machine shop team to safely and efficiently operate Okuma mill-turns, mills, and lathes. The ideal candidate brings deep machine shop experience, educational experience developing and delivering technical training programs, strong communication skills, innovative problem-solving abilities, and a passion for contributing to the advancement of human space exploration through precision machining excellence.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Create course materials using educational tools: PowerPoint, student handouts, exams, study materials, and instructor-led student assessments focused on CNC machining
  • Own, create, and edit training Engineering Masters (EMs) for relevant machining training courses
  • Partner directly with subject matter experts to design and develop engaging content for a variety of audiences and delivery modes (online, classroom, and shop floor) with clear strategies and tactics to achieve desired learning outcomes, including but not limited to: Okuma operation and programming, general mill-turn operation, CNC setup, tool selection, and machining safety
  • Lead training modules (On the Job and self-paced) for Production & Engineering teams on Okuma mill-turns, mills, and lathes
  • Assess and evaluate student performance through practical tests on CNC and conventional equipment, machining projects, and written exams
  • Organize, schedule, and manage enrollments, attendance, and student performance
  • Develop process specifications and research new machining technologies and techniques for Okuma CNC systems
  • Perform special assignments (e.g. leading machine setup improvements or process modifications in the shop)
  • Engage Production Management, Engineering, Quality and other subject matter experts to gather feedback and implement process improvements for future training modules
  • Coordinate with third party vendors for specialized Okuma resources and instruction when needed

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate
  • 1+ years of experience as a technical/on-the-job trainer, conducting hands-on, instructor-led machining or CNC courses

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, industrial education, or related field
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in a machine shop environment
  • 5+ years of experience creating training materials and delivering technical training programs
  • Strong knowledge of Okuma mill-turns, mills, and lathes
  • Experience programming and operating Okuma CNC systems (G-code, M-code, tool offsets, work coordinate systems)
  • Proficiency with the development of training programs and materials, including student assessments and hands-on machining exercises
  • Ability to independently analyze, review, and research machining processes and applicable standards
  • In-depth understanding of production machining processes (CNC milling, turning, mill-turn operations, tooling, fixturing, and precision measurement)
  • Excellent oral and written training and communication skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience with video editing or online training module development
  • Demonstrated experience as a team-oriented self-starter, eager to meet and exceed objectives with the ability to handle a multi-project environment
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and machining specifications

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Must be able to work overtime and weekends based on site operational needs
  • Must be able to lift 25 lbs. unassisted, stand for extended periods, and move safely around CNC machine tools

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
Pay range:
$95,000.00 - $120,000.00/per year
