What is a Wire EDM operator?

A Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) operator is a skilled technician who uses specialized machinery to cut complex shapes and parts from metal using a thin, electrically charged wire. The process is highly precise and is often used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and tooling where intricate designs or tight tolerances are required. Operators are responsible for setting up the machine, programming the cut paths, monitoring the cutting process, and ensuring that the finished parts meet exact specifications. They also perform routine maintenance and troubleshoot issues to keep the equipment running efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Wire EDM operator?

To thrive as a Wire EDM Operator, you need a solid understanding of machining principles, blueprint reading, and precision measurement, often supported by technical training or vocational certification. Familiarity with CNC programming, CAD/CAM software, and operation of EDM machines is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong organizational skills help you excel in producing high-precision components. These competencies are crucial for ensuring quality, efficiency, and safety in precision manufacturing environments.

What are some common challenges faced by Wire EDM operators and how can they be addressed?

Wire EDM operators often encounter challenges such as maintaining tight tolerances, managing wire breakage, and optimizing machine settings for different materials. These issues can be addressed by careful machine calibration, regular maintenance, and ongoing training on the latest software and technology. Collaborating closely with engineers and quality assurance teams also helps operators troubleshoot issues quickly and ensure that finished parts meet exact specifications.

What is the difference between Wire Edm vs CNC Machinist?

AspectWire EdmCNC Machinist
Required CredentialsTechnical certifications, training in EDM processesTechnical certifications, machining or manufacturing training
Work EnvironmentPrecision manufacturing, electrical discharge machining facilitiesMachine shops, manufacturing plants with CNC equipment
Industry UsageElectronics, aerospace, tooling industriesAutomotive, aerospace, general manufacturing

Wire Edm and CNC Machinist both require technical skills and certifications, often working in manufacturing environments. Wire Edm specializes in electrical discharge machining for complex, precise parts, while CNC Machinists operate computer-controlled machines for a variety of parts. Both roles are essential in precision manufacturing but differ in their specific processes and applications.

Job description

We're recruiting for an experienced CNC Programmer/Machinist to join an established Tool & Die operation in Chesterfield, MI. This is a hands-on programming and machining position supporting new tooling, die repair and engineering changes.

This position requires someone who is confident programming complex 3D work in Mastercam. If your programming experience is primarily 2D, this will likely not be the right fit.

What You'll Do:

  • Create 2D and 3D CNC programs using Mastercam
  • Create 3D cutter paths for form steels, die sections and other complex Tool & Die details
  • Program new die sections and replacement details for broken or damaged tooling
  • Machine Tool & Die details from CAD data and blueprints
  • Set up and operate CNC equipment with Fanuc controls
  • Perform close-tolerance machining with minimal supervision
  • Select appropriate tooling, speeds, feeds, clamping and cutting techniques
  • Inspect completed work using micrometers, height gauges, bore gauges and other precision measuring equipment
  • Troubleshoot machining and programming issues
  • Work closely with Tool & Die and Engineering teams
  • Wire EDM experience is a plus

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of CNC programming/machining experience preferred
  • Strong hands-on 3D Mastercam programming experience required
  • Tool & Die machining/programming experience strongly preferred
  • Experience programming cutter paths for complex 3D forms, die sections or similar tooling
  • Strong CNC setup and machining background
  • Fanuc control experience
  • Ability to read blueprints and understand GD&T
  • Strong understanding of speeds, feeds, tooling and material properties
  • Ability to work independently from CAD data and prints
  • Own tools and reliable transportation

Schedule:

  • Monday-Friday, 5:00 AM-4:30 PM
  • Saturday, 5:00 AM-11:00 AM as needed
  • Regular overtime available

Compensation:

  • $28-$34/hr based on experience
  • Direct Hire

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off
  • Life insurance
  • Supplemental accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity coverage

You should be proficient in:

  • CNC Programming
  • CNC Machine Setup & Changeover

Machines & technologies you'll use:

  • CAM Software (Mastercam)
