Job description

EDM Cell Operator (Aerospace Manufacturing)Step into a precision-driven day where your focus and craftsmanship shape mission-critical components. From the moment you review the traveler to your end‑of‑shift handoff, you’ll orchestrate multiple machines, pore over part drawings, and capture data that keeps production on spec and on time.A Day in the RoleYou begin by checking the schedule and travelers, confirming tooling and materials. You set up electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment, load parts, and verify offsets. Between cycles you inspect features using micrometers and dial calipers, update inspection gauges, and record results. You’ll switch jobs as priorities change, complete minor preventive maintenance, and keep your work area spotless using 5S. Throughout the shift, you track material usage, scrap, and corrective actions, and you log everything clearly—travelers, production records, and non‑conformance forms—while adhering to AS9100 and related quality standards. Collaboration is constant: you support team goals and continuous improvement, then close the day with accurate documentation and a clean, organized station.What You’ll TackleOperate EDM machines; perform efficient part loading/unloadingConduct routine and in‑process inspections; maintain inspection gaugesPerform minor machine maintenance and preventive careComplete accurate logs, travelers, and non‑conformance formsSet up tooling and switch jobs to meet changing prioritiesTrack materials, scrap, and corrective actionsKeep the area clean and organized using 5S principlesWork to AS9100 and other applicable quality standardsSupport team goals, continuous improvement, and assigned projectsMust HavesHigh school diploma or equivalentProven ability to run multiple machines and meet daily production specificationsSolid understanding of machining processes and reading part drawingsHands‑on proficiency with micrometers, dial calipers, and basic mathMust meet ITAR definition of US Person(s)Preferred & Additional RequirementsDemonstrated machining abilityExperience with conventional machining (milling, drilling, turning) preferredFamiliarity with EDM machines, grinders, and common inspection toolsBasic computer skills and the ability to document work clearly
