Job Description

Summary/Objective
Completely and independently program, set-up and operate computerized numerically controlled machine tools to perform a complex series of progressive machine operations on a diversified line of work to close and exacting tolerances and finish per blueprints or other specifications. Troubleshoots or reworks any problem related to CNC machined parts.

DESCRIPTION OF ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Completely and independently, with little or no supervision or review performs the following:

Sets up various types of CNC machines making required adjustments to tooling, collets, etc. running machines to a chucker or bar stock load system. Troubleshoots or reworks any problems related to the set-up, operation, tooling, etc. of a CNC machine.

Read and interprets blueprints or other documentation to visualize machining required and plans sequence of operations.

Determines reference points and direction of machine cutting paths.

Computes angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures and outlines sequence of operations required to machine specified part.

Determines layout and inputs instructions to computer. Fills out Setup Card for preset or setup of tools to be used in operation of CNC machine. Performs dry run to verify setup prior to production run.

Administers/processes program of machine instructions necessary to encode input to database to regulate movement of machine along cutting path.

Arranges, mounts, and secures tooling; mount, align and secure holding fixtures or clamp work pieces in place. Set stops and calibrate to reference points.

Install program and correlate machine position with controls.

Observes operation of machine on trial run to prove taped or programmed instructions. Recognize and report errors in programming and operations and collaborate with appropriate personnel in correcting such errors. Troubleshoots or reworks any CNC related programming problem.

Provides necessary counts, processes documentation correctly, and maintains daily production logs using computer software applications or production worksheets. Keeps interim records for subassemblies, material, tooling, rework, etc. while in the cell.

Works as an active team member by participating in problem solving, team building, and all other team activities to improve the processes, productivity, quality, etc. of the production operations in a cell. Uses interpersonal skills as well as good written and verbal communications. Assists other cell members as required.

Equipment/Process Responsibilities -Performs duties where significant property, tools, equipment or machines may be damaged, or man hours lost, through improper daily maintenance and attention to processing. Input to design programs, sets-up and maintains various types of CNC machines for the jobs performed. Maintains and effects minor repairs of machines. Sets up mills and lathes which may have single or multiple spindle operations.

Material or Product Responsibilities -Performs duties that require close attention to work and supporting documentation specifications and other requirements. Responsible for accuracy of parts formed. Visually and/or with measuring instruments, checks work performed for proper results.

Responsibility for Work of Others - Accuracy of communication is mandatory to the successful production and qualification of work pieces. Must communicate to appropriate personnel any problems or concerns regarding quality of work received or time flow of work in progress as it affects production schedules. Must be able to train employees of equal or lower classification in CNC machine programming, setup and operation as well as on methods and procedures used by the Company in the production Workflow and tracking. Communicates primarily with co-workers, lead personnel and supervisor.

Safety Responsibilities - Good housekeeping, knowledge of good machine safety is necessary as well as adherence to Company Safety Rules.

Initiative and Ingenuity - Requires initiative in solving problems associated with the programming, set-up and operation of various types of CNC machines and ingenuity in adapting tooling and shop aids to complete forming operations. Makes suggestions for improving the efficiency of workflow or equipment operation. Troubleshoots or reworks any CNC-related problem. Takes on or reports for additional work as current tasks are completed. Performs other work-related tasks as deemed necessary by Company needs.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Environmental Surroundings - Work is in a machine shop environment where noise, temperature fluctuations, the repetitive nature of the job, etc. are less desirable than in a typical office environment.
Unavoidable Hazards - Possible hazards related to cuts, bruises, finger and hand injuries, and muscle strains. Exposure to moving mechanical parts, metalworking fluids, and airborne particles. Appropriate protective wear regarding eye, ear and clothing are required.

EFFORT

Physical - Able to lift up to 50 pounds. Requires strength to install and adjust requisite tooling and equipment to set-up specifications. Hand and finger manipulation required for machine programming, set-up and operations as well as using precision measuring instruments. Most job assignments require continuous standing and/or sitting for periods exceeding 15 minutes at a time.
Mental - Work at times is highly repetitive and monotonous. However, programming and set-up work varies and may require use of machine shop theory, improvisation and ingenuity. Reasoning ability required to interpret complex blueprints and documentation of a highly technical nature. Must be able to draw valid conclusions from a variety of abstract and concrete variables. Required to organize work flow for best efficiency.
Visual - Close attention to detail with moderate eye concentration over long periods of time. Able to read various precision instruments such as micrometers, calipers, gauges, etc. Must be able to visually check work pieces for quality.

Hourly Range $28.50-$34.37

Qualifications

EXPERIENCE
Requires 5 years work experience or equivalent skills and knowledge expertise in the programming, set-up and operation of various Computerized Numerical Control machines, tools and equipment which are similar or comparable to those used by the Company and which are necessary to fulfill job requirements. Must have demonstrated the capability to set-up and operate the CNC machines required in the cell to the level of journeyman. Must have held linear and diameter tolerances to .0002, T.I.R. to .001 for threading, etc. Must be familiar with and capable of using Statistical Process Control. Must read precision measuring instruments such as various gauges, calipers and micrometers as well as engineering diagrams similar or comparable to those used in machine tooling operations by the Company.
