Precision Machine Operator - Off-shift
About The Position
This position is responsible for operating a diamond flycut machine to machine plano and cylinder mirrors and lens components to precise size requirements based on drawings and engineering specifications. The operator will handle parts carefully to prevent damage, measure critical dimensions, and control/verify part thickness and figure. This role involves understanding and utilizing correct machine setups, performing tool set-ups, balancing flywheels, and making head tilt adjustments. The operator will maintain process notes, follow work instructions, document process variations, and accurately record first-time yield. Problem-solving minor issues independently and reporting them to supervision is expected. Production activities and quality documentation must be completed accurately. The role requires developing an understanding of QA procedures for flycut diamond turned components and the ability to multitask on multiple machines to maximize production output without errors. All errors, accidents, and maintenance requirements must be reported promptly. Operators are responsible for verifying setups to prevent machine crashes and adhering to all safety practices and procedures. Areas must be maintained in an organized manner, and equipment must be maintained based on preventative schedules.
