Advanced knowledge of CNC machining, including setup, operation, and troubleshooting for both simple and complex parts.
Ability to interpret and analyze technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to ensure compliance with quality and DoD standards.
Strong understanding of safety protocols, quality standards, and industry regulations, including DoD contractor requirements.
Intermediate to advanced math skills, including algebra, geometry, and shop math.

Nice To Haves

Certification in welding (e.g., AWS D1.1, D1.2, or D17.3) and machining (e.g., NIMS or equivalent).
Experience with computer-aided design (CAD) software or technical drawings, with the ability to make minor modifications to designs.
Familiarity with automated systems, robotics, or advanced manufacturing technologies.
Proven ability to lead or mentor junior technicians and contribute to team development.

Responsibilities

Perform technical tasks such as welding (including aluminum welding), machining, fabrication, and assembly with minimal supervision.
Operate and maintain specialized tools, equipment, and machinery, including CNC machines and advanced welding systems.
Analyze technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to produce high-quality components and assemblies.
Execute precision machining and welding tasks, including gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) on aluminum alloys, joints, and thicknesses.
Fabricate and assemble components for prototypes and production systems, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
Assist in the design and development of components and manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on mechanical, electrical, and structural systems.
Conduct inspections, testing, and diagnostics to ensure systems and equipment meet operational standards.
Document maintenance activities and provide recommendations for improvements.
Adhere to safety protocols and procedures to minimize risks and ensure a safe working environment.
Ensure compliance with company policies, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
Participate in safety training and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
Provide guidance and mentorship to junior technicians, supporting their skill development and ensuring quality standards are met.
Collaborate with engineers, supervisors, and team members to complete projects and resolve technical challenges.
Communicate effectively to report progress, issues, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.
Review and prepare AM based CAD build files (slicing), configure print parameters, and manage machine startup for production runs.
Safely handle, sieve, load, and recover fine metal powders from the additive manufacturing printers while strictly adhering to hazardous material and inert atmosphere safety protocols.
Observe active additive builds and respond to process anomalies, machine alarms, or errors to ensure part quality.
De-powder finished parts, detach them from the build plate, and conduct post-processing operations like stress-relief, heat treatment, support removal, and surface finishing.
Perform routine and preventive maintenance on LPBF systems (e.g., recoater calibration, filter changes, and laser optics cleaning) to maximize system uptime.
Maintain strict production logs, powder traceability records, build traveler paperwork, and quality compliance documentation for every manufacturing run.
