Morning Manufacturing Specialist

Wolfram Manufacturing•Austin, TX

72d•Onsite

About The Position

Wolfram Manufacturing runs highly automated machining processes. We are not looking for a traditional operator to stand in front of a single machine all day. We are looking for a highly observant, analytical Manufacturing Specialist to act as the first line of defense across a cell of CNC machines. You will be the first responder when our TMAC systems halt a machine, the primary investigator for tool wear, and the active quality assurance lead on the floor.

Requirements

1–3 years of CNC or machine operator experience preferred; strong transferable mechanical or technical background will be considered
Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and comfort with hands-on, physical work
Ability to read and interpret basic measurements and inspection data
Strong attention to detail and pattern recognition

Responsibilities

Active Quality Assurance: Inspect parts looking for bad indicators rather than just certifying good ones. In addition to measuring parts, you will use visual cues, like changes in tool path finishes, to catch errors early.
Machine Triage: Monitor a dozen+ automated CNC machines. When a machine stops or throws a horsepower TMAC alarm, you diagnose the tool and part condition, check fluids, and analyze the charts.
Make Comps: Make small, precise adjustments (comps) to current programs to keep parts in spec.
Deburring & Finishing: Perform delicate part finishing and deburring (required before full inspection).
Prioritization: Logically manage your time when multiple machines need attention. Know exactly when to put a machine on "hold" and escalate to support rather than wasting time/material or risking damage to a machine.
