About The Position

Technician II / Operator 2 is a junior role at our FANUC MH facility, responsible for performing semi-independent CNC machine operations, including CNC lathes and multi-axis vertical and horizontal machining centers, to produce high-precision paint robot components. This position builds off Operator 1 skills, focusing on consistent machine operation, basic troubleshooting, and quality assurance under moderate supervision, ensuring parts meet print specifications. Technician I / Operator 2 collaborates with machinists and production supervisors to improve efficiency and prepares for advancement to Machinist 1 by developing CNC operation proficiency.

Requirements

High school diploma or equivalent
Minimum of 1 years’ experience in a manufacturing or machine shop environment, with at least 1 year of CNC machine operation (lathes or machining centers)
Basic blueprint comprehension (e.g., identifying rev. level and notes)
Basic usage of QA supplied inspection equipment (e.g., calipers, micrometers)
Basic familiarity with FANUC controls
92% on-time completion rate for machine operation and support tasks, minimizing delays with moderate supervision
Lift materials or tools up to 25 pounds

Nice To Haves

Vocational training or coursework in machining may substitute for experience
Exposure to Mastercam through training or prior work
Experience with materials like Delrin or stainless steel
Familiarity with metric-based measurements and documentation

Responsibilities

Operate CNC lathes and multi-axis CNC machining centers (e.g., FANUC ROBODRILLs) with moderate independence, following Mastercam-generated CNC programs and setup sheets to produce parts per print specifications.
Assist machinists with machine setups for CNC lathes and machining centers, including loading tools and work holding fixtures, under moderate supervision.
Conduct in-process inspections using measurement tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers) to verify parts meet print specifications, escalating complex issues to machinists.
Identify and report basic operational issues (e.g., tool wear, machine alarms) on CNC lathes or machining centers, performing minor adjustments with guidance to maintain print compliance.
Load, unload, and manage raw materials (e.g., Delrin, 316 stainless steel) for CNC lathes and machining centers, ensuring proper storage and handling to prevent damage.
Maintain production logs, inspection records, and shift reports in metric units, supporting FAI and FPI processes.
Retrieve and organize tools from the tool crib, proactively reporting shortages to maintain 98% tool availability.
Maintain a clean, organized work area and adhere to shop safety and 5S standards, assisting in minor machine maintenance (e.g., coolant checks) for lathes and machining centers.
Participate in training on CNC lathe and machining center operation, FANUC controls, and basic Mastercam navigation to prepare for Machinist 1 responsibilities.
