About The Position

Under supervision, runs and operates manual and CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) Mill and Lather to fabricate and build parts for customer and shop needs. Includes precision instrument makers who fabricate, modify, or repair mechanical instruments. Knowledge of mechanics, mathematics, metal properties, layout, and machining procedures. Performs all tasks in a safe and responsible manner and complies with company policies. Determines the uses of personal protective equipment (PPE); identifies the safety equipment and procedures related to safe work practices and surrounding environment. Able to run and complete parts using the MRP Network. Uses the MRP system to clock in and out of jobs upon set-up and completion, also knowledge of MRP to look ahead on up-coming jobs and machine set-up mill and lathe set-up. Maintains and fills out quality sheets to verify part tolerances. Ability to lift up to 50 pounds frequently. Establishes work procedures for fabricating new structural products, using a variety of CNC mill and lathe processes. Supports metalworking projects from planning and fabrication through assembly, inspection, and testing, using knowledge of machine functions, mathematics, metal properties and overall shop knowledge. Designs fixtures, tooling, and experimental parts to meet special engineering needs. Tests experimental models under simulated operating conditions for such purposes as development, standardization, and feasibility of design. Uses practical experience in the application of "G" codes and "M" codes, writing CNC machine programs, and machine setup and operation for secondary operators to complete jobs. Measures, examines, and tests completed parts using the Zeiss CMM Machine to detect defects and ensure conformance to specifications of parts and materials. May perform other duties as assigned by management.
