Summary:

Sets up and operates various conventional and/or numerically controlled machining centers on the

most complex and difficult jobs. Works from blueprints, sketches, planning sheets, verbal

instructions, and/or engineering, tooling, or equipment information. Contributes to lean

initiatives to increase productivity and reduce costs. Works independently with minimum guidance in

a team environment.

This is a2nd shift positionfrom 2:30pm - 11:00pm.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Runs multiple machines efficiently, which may require simultaneous operations. Adapts or

improvises tooling to accomplish results where operations require a broad knowledge of production

machining technology, operating skills, and shop techniques together with diversified experience.

• Sets ups, adjusts, and operates a variety of conventional and/or special purpose CNC Lathe

machines to perform the most diversified and difficult production operations on work having close

and exact tolerances, several dimensional relationships, unusual contours, dimensional and finish

requirements.

• Interprets customer requirements from blueprints, complex drawings, engineering

specifications, quality directives, charts, tables, sketches, and verbal instructions.

• Interfaces with engineering to resolve drawing errors, suggest design changes, and solve

product/process problems.

• Implements manufacturing methods using standard production machines, materials, and tooling.

May advise and assist with tooling design.

• Makes complex setups, which may include multiple work piece stations, utilizing custom and

standard holding devices.

• Develops and defines processes with limited documentation, as required.

• Trouble shoots and resolves machining problems.

• Responsible for machining and checking parts to maintain a high level of quality and

efficiency.

• Inspects finished parts for conformance to specifications by visual examination, and utilizes

precision measuring instruments such as gages, calipers, micrometers, comparators, and surface

plate techniques. May be required to use coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Ensures equipment is

calibrated in accordance with schedule.

• Routinely maintains equipment to ensure cleanliness, accuracy, and reliability specific to

division requirements.

• Accurately and regularly performs statistical process control (SPC) specific to division

requirements.

• Uses advanced shop mathematics, which may include trigonometry, and general knowledge of metal

characteristics and other processing requirements.

• Actively contributes to lean initiatives by identifying and providing suggestions on areas for

improvement. Effectively applies lean concepts and tools in work area.

• Provides guidance or assistance in coordinating workload priorities to make appropriate

accommodations based on business demand.
