Creative input is required frequently, as prototype specifications are often incomplete during early project development

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Set up and operate machine tools including but not limited to the following:
• Milling Machines & Machining Centers (manual and CNC controlled)
• Engine & Slant Bed Lathes (manual and CNC controlled)
• Surface Grinder
• Drill Presses
• Tool & Cutter Grinders
• Cut-off Saw
• Band Saw
• Abrasive Saw
• Use all applicable hand tools including: Micrometers (inside/outside), calipers, height gages, depth gages, etc.
• Machine prototype components from 3-D model files supplied from Engineering Design.
• Using creativity and self-direction in designing, machining, and testing of prototypes and fixtures when standard methods do not apply.
• Machine components or prototypes to supplied Engineering blueprints within specified tolerance requirements.
• Provide innovative input, as appropriate, to Engineering staff to help meet overall program goals.
• Determine all necessary equipment and operating parameters necessary to achieve completion of assignments including; end mills, inserts, drills, reamers, fixturing, cutting speeds, surface finishes, etc.
• Design and construct fixtures for aiding in the machining process as necessary.
• Perform bench work with hand tools as necessary.
• Perform maintenance on machine tools, equipment, and work area to maintain a proper work environment.

• Specific policies and procedures have been established by the Engineering Department to provide for the security and accessibility of electronic data and confidential information. It is the responsibility of the employee, in the daily course of doing business, to follow said policies as they relate to document management (see EOG-26). The extent to which departmental research and development information is stored electronically has vastly increased, and will continue to do so. The new Federal rules pertaining to electronic discovery stipulate that substantive email communications constituted "records" under the Federal Records Act. It is therefore the responsibility of each departmental employee to understand their role in communicating via e-mails and that all e-mails must be written/responded to in a professional manner , as outlined in EOG-26.
