Duties/Responsibilities

• Add stiffeners and bumpers to set up, as necessary to support part rigidly and avoid vibration and distortion of thin-walled or other flimsy parts from tool pressure.
• Apply machines to check dimensions and locations of less involved partial or fully completed parts and assemblies when necessary.
• Comply with environmental/safety regulations and program requirements to ensure safe working conditions and to preserve a healthy environment. Comply with company quality and continuous improvement initiatives. Keep current with training certifications for compliance with governmental and company regulations.
• Determine the sequence of operations, the methods required to use the fewest holding fixtures and setups, and the setup for CNC control and manual machine operation.
• Machine locating diameters on the face plate, making holding fixtures and devices, plugs, adaptors, spaces, and other holding aides, adapting available devices when existing tooling is inadequate.
• Maintain necessary tools, materials, or supplies to ensure steady work-flow, as well as maintain a neat and clean work area.

• Set up end measure to locate table and spindle as appropriate.
• Under the direction of a higher-grade machinist, working lead, or supervisor follow detailed instructions to plan, layout, and perform basic setups and operations.
• Use shop mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and handbook formulas to find missing dimensions, convert angular to linear dimensions, develop less involved programs, work from drawings, layout parts, and solve other machining problems.
• When utilizing CNC machines work with programmers and higher-grade operators to plan and set up controls and debug programs.
• Work from drawings, WI, and detailed computer work instructions of the supervisor to set up and operate jig boring and horizontal boring mill machines and DMG machining centers.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.
