As a member of our dynamic team and after a period of investment and training, our machinists prove out, trouble shoot, and run CNC programs following detailed processes with limited supervision.  They utilize hand-held metrology and other measurement equipment to verify setups and part dimensions and to interpret blueprints and CNC programs as needed to manufacture mid-to-high complexity aerospace, automotive, industrial, power generation, and rocketry hardware.

PRINCIPLE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Typical tasks include, but are not limited to the following:

• Setup and operate mills and/or lathes according to supplied processes and programs.
• Prove out new programs and processes under the direction of Senior Machinists & Programmers.
• Verify product quality using inspection devices such as micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, etc.
• Read and interpret manufacturing drawings, routers, and CNC programs.
• Responsible for accurate record keeping of dimensions.
• Responsible for maintaining a clean work area and adhering to all safety policies and guidelines.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Education: High School diploma or GED equivalent.
• Experience: Proficiency with CNC equipment, Heidenhein controls, blueprint reading, shop math skills, and the use of quality control measuring devices and gauges is preferred, but we will train the right candidate.
• Abilities: Must be able to stand for extended periods of time during the workday and be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds in a safe manner.  Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English.
