• Trim Formed Parts and Tubing – Build and set up fixtures to accurately locate and laser trim stampings, formed parts, and tubing used in chassis and assemblies.
• Perform First‑Piece Inspections – Perform first‑piece and in‑process inspections using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM reports to verify parts meet print, GD&T, and NASCAR specification requirements.
• Troubleshoot and Adjust – Diagnose cut‑quality issues such as dross, burrs, and dimensional variation, and correct them by adjusting power, speed, focus, gas pressure, and part offsets.
• Maintain Laser Equipment – Perform routine preventive maintenance, including cleaning optics, replacing nozzles and consumables, and checking gas and chiller systems; report issues to maintenance.
• Maintain Job Documentation – Keep accurate job documentation, setup sheets, program records, and traceability information for all production runs.
• Follow Laser Safety Practices – Follow all laser safety, lockout/tagout, and PPE requirements, and keep the work area clean and organized.
