Overview

Sr. Machinists with minimum supervision, sets up and operates a variety of machines such as lathes, mills, precision grinders, drill presses, etc., to build, construct, alter or repair prototype parts, sub-assemblies or completed units of special types of parts and devices which cannot be practically manufactured on a production basis. Working from blueprints, plans methods and sequences of machining to produce parts as needed. Lays out parts for successive machining operations, performs complicated set ups, improvises tooling when standard tooling cannot be utilized, and determines machine speeds and feeds. Checks own work for conformance to specifications.

Responsibilities

• Machine prototype and production parts, perform production rework and some tooling fabrication.
• Set up and run all manual machines including grinders. May operate two or more machines at one time.
• Perform all machining operations to fabricate parts, models, devices and pilot production units.
• Working from blueprints, plans methods and sequences of machining to produce parts complete as needed to conform to specifications.
• Inspects own work per drawing requirements.
• Lays out parts for successive machining operations. Makes necessary tooling. Determines machine speeds and feeds.
• Programming machines, reduce set up times and increase or move workload from work centers.

May be required to provide technical assistance and instruction to lower classifications.

Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years machine shop experience as a machinist setting up and operating manual machines. Welding, brazing, CNC and jig bore experience helpful.
• Programming experience using Gibbs or any other programming software.
• Leadership experience leading small groups (4-6) of Machinist
• Must be able to set up and operate a variety of manual machines such as lathes, mills, precision grinders, drill presses, and punch presses, 3 axis, 5 axis machines.
• Must be able to make a variety of parts working from blueprints, job specifications, hand drawn sketches and/or verbal instructions. Must be capable of working within tolerances of .0002" in a high-pressure, fast-paced, quality-oriented environment.
• Must be able to perform standard shop computations (applying geometry and trigonometry) relating to angular and linear dimensions of work, tooling, and speeds and feeds of machining.
• Must be able to do own layouts in building parts; use a wide variety of machine tools, hand tools, and precision measuring instruments; and maintain and grind ordinary tools. Must have own basic tools such as calipers, 0 - 3" micrometers and dial indicators.
