Responsibilities

Obtain work from supervisor, area lead or various customers (e.g., developmental/ experimental engineers, production shops).
Perform bench work (e.g., drilling, honing, tapping, reaming) on production and experimental parts as required.
Assemble parts using rivets and bolts with correct tools such as rivet squeeze, lock bolt puller, rivet gun and bucking bar, power screwdriver, or ratchet per engineering requirements.
Lay-out, plan and sequence machining operation.
Analyze and interpret drawings, sketches, blueprints and verbal instructions to determine work to be performed on detailed precision parts (e.g., aircraft castings, fixtures, tools, shop aids)
Use shop math, geometry and/or trig to calculate dimensions.
Determine/obtain raw material to be used (e.g., brass, aluminum, steel, composites, and wood) for machining or fabrication per drawing or customer requirements.
Set up operate and adjust all common machine tools (e.g., lathe, mill, bridgeport, electrical discharge machine (EDM), drill press) to accomplish work on precision assemblies.
Select machine to be used in machining process.
Check machine to be used for missing, loose, damaged equipment, check oil and coolant levels and fill as required.
Write programs as required for multi axis machines.
Adjust machine settings (e.g., speeds and feeds) to correct machining problems or to prepare machine for next operation in sequence.
Perform minor editing of CNC programs per shop requirements.
Select and check cutting tools per program or CNC documents.
Ensure cutters are the correct type, length, diameter, radius, and are in good condition.
Select machine accessories and holding devises (e.g., chucks, vises, turntables).
Verify that apparatus is in good condition.
Identify fixtures and/or shop aids to be built and fabricate as required using mill, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, sander and grinder.
Attach machine accessories, tools and shop aides using dial indicators, edge finders, wrenches, bolts, clamps, and overhead cranes.
Monitor machine during operation for unusual vibration or sounds, watch machine gauges and controller display or digital readout for warnings, visually check cutter path, clearance and chips to ensure smooth operation.
Check work with precision instruments (e.g., micrometers, dial indicators, height gauges) and ensure parts are free from defects (e.g., finish, dimensions, mismatch, tool marks) and complete per drawing, sketch or verbal instructions.
Assemble, fit, check, test of developmental machine parts and assemblies to customer specification.
Troubleshoot and test precision assemblies with working groups (e.g., engineering, production, inspection, manufacturing resource & development (MRD)) to resolve tooling/production problems.
Handle and dispose of hazardous materials (e.g., coolants, solvents) in approved manner (per Material Safety Data Sheets) using personal protective equipment, as required.
Maintain personal tool certifications, as required.
