You will make intricate tools for producing specific shapes or removing material, working to extremely close tolerances where construction of tools requires mating surfaces, usually less than .0005 inches. You will be responsible for planning, laying out, and following the job through to completion with a minimum of supervision; completing jobs within general tolerances of the metal trades industry in relation to quality and time.

• Plan, lay out, and perform all bench and machine operations to construct, alter, and repair tools, dies, fixtures, gauges, etc., where a high degree of skill and an extensive knowledge of tooling practice and application is required. Work from complicated drawings and specifications, using a wide variety of precision instruments for exacting measurements.
• Perform complex machining operations requiring complicated set-ups involving the improvising of tooling and machines for adaptations beyond the normal range and capacities of available equipment.
• Perform close and exacting bench and assembly operations to fit, align, calibrate, adjust, assemble, and finish work.
• May do development and experimental work, select allowances and materials, and proceed from own conception in the absence of design and specifications.
• Will assign work and instruct other tool room personnel. May serve as lead on projects, working closely with designers and engineers.
• Establish and maintain an effective preventative maintenance program. Participate in ongoing Continuous Improvement processes.

Work Hours and Schedule:

• 12-hour shifts (4 days)

Required Qualifications for Consideration:

• High School Diploma/GED
• Experience with CAD/CAM type software, preferably Esprit.
• Experience as a CNC Machinist operating a 3 and 4 axis mill or lathe.
• Wire and Sinker EDM experience.
• You Will Excite Us If You Have:
• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent combination of experience & education.
• Associate's Degree in Mechatronics, Industrial Systems, or related fields.

The candidate will be rewarded with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, life and accidental death insurance, a 401(k) plan, and participation in the Company’s Incentive Plan.
