Tool and Die Maker-2nd Shift
About The Position
This position analyzes specifications, lays out metal stock, sets up and operates machine tools, and fits and assembles parts to fabricate and repair metalworking dies, cutting tools, jigs and fixtures, gauges, and machinists hand tools. The role requires a strong understanding of tool and die design and construction, shop mathematics, metal properties, layout, machining, and assembly procedures. The Tool and Die Maker will study specifications such as blueprints, sketches, models, or descriptions, and visualize the product to determine materials and machines required. They will compute dimensions, plan layouts, and determine assembly methods and sequence of operations for work involving extremely close tolerances. The role involves setting up and operating machine tools, verifying conformance of machined parts to specifications, and using measuring instruments to verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances. Additionally, the position requires knowledge of welding fixtures on robotic type welders.
Requirements
- High school level education or equivalent specialized training which may be obtained in vocational courses or on the job.
- Requires the ability to verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances, using measuring instruments, such as dial indicators, gauge blocks, thickness gauges, and micrometers.
