About The Position

CNC Machinist III is a senior level position to perform more complex lathe and mill tasks, demonstrating the ability to lead and train machinists. They will continue to learn all aspects of CNC operations, the trade and, as a part of the Production Team, fill in as needed in other areas in support of manufacturing. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skills and/or abilities necessary to meet the minimum job requirements of this position. Manufacture parts within a cell with multiple machines to exacting blueprint dimensions and ensure 100%-part quality. Perform simple and complex set-ups on both manual and CNC turning / milling machining centers. Edit CNC programs as necessary to improve the machining process and extend tool life while meeting production rates. Develop simple CNC programs using the machine controls. TECHNICAL JOB FUNCTIONS: Serves as a machining Subject Matter Expert (SME) within areas of demonstrated competent authority in relation to Quality and Cost. Performs new and/or complex set-ups and operates equipment to produce high quality parts (100% good pieces) within prescribed routed time to meet production demands. If standard production rates cannot be met, the operator must notify his supervisor. Debugs CNC programs and fully documents completed setups according to standard procedures. Knowledgeable in all aspects of GD&T and its application relative to part manufacture and inspection. Read and understand drawings to effectively manufacture parts to close tolerances. Maintains equipment via established preventative maintenance schedules. Follows all prescribed quality procedures and inspection plans.
