Job description

PURPOSE

The purpose of the operator position is to accurately perform tasks according to work instructions related to the machining of SMC components. This position will work in SMC's clean room environment.

ESSENTIAL JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The operator fully manages the welding machine tasks and maintenance necessary to produce components and will complete the following tasks for their role:

• Set Up: perform machine changeovers to manufacture different components based on daily assignments.
• Prepare: use blueprints to set the machine (Welding Lathe) to the job’s specifications, insert the tooling needed (Tungsten tip), and gather the necessary materials for the job assignment. This process will be repeated for each of the day’s assignments.
• Operate: supervise the machine while it executes the tasks, make any necessary adjustments to the operation, or troubleshoot issues to produce a better-finished product to specification; use measurement tools (ex. scope) to check that the desired result was achieved, perform preventative machine maintenance and keep workstation orderly.
• Work in a team environment for increased productivity and quality.
• Understand and follow all company policies and safety procedures.
• All other duties as assigned daily by your supervisor.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS/WORK ENVIRONMENT

The physical demands of this position require the employee to stand, walk, and use their hands to handle or feel objects, tools, or controls, and reach with their hands and arms. The role will also necessitate the employee to lift heavy components as needed; SMC will provide an overhead hoist to assist with this task.

While the production facility is temperature controlled, the work environment may expose employees to noise, heat, cold, dust, lubricants, and/or solvents.

The machine utilizes TIG to weld. In TIG welding, the UV intensity is powerful, therefore, the welder should wear welding clothes, masks, welding gloves, insulated shoes, and so on.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

• Prior welding experience is not required. SMC will provide initial training.
• Available to work overtime on weekdays/weekends as needed
  • Part-time shifts are available between 7 AM - 5 PM
  • Multiple daytime shifts are available
