You start your morning reviewing a work order, confirming the tools and test equipment you'll need, and heading to the shop floor. By mid-morning, you're installing a CNC machine per the maker's specs, validating alignments with calipers and micrometers, and running the system to verify performance. After lunch, you diagnose a spindle issue using schematics and a multimeter, consult with engineering on an unusual fault, and brief the customer on status. You wrap the day by documenting preventive maintenance actions and planning tomorrow’s rigging and load handling steps.
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Expect to be stationary about 20% of the time while operating machinery; frequently move throughout the shop to transport parts and access tools and equipment. Regularly position yourself to work above and beneath machines, using both fine and gross motor skills. Communicate clearly with colleagues, detect mechanical issues and part defects at close range, and lift/push/pull up to 50 lbs while carrying and loading tools and components.
Occasional exposure to wet/humid conditions, moving mechanical parts, fumes/airborne particles, and toxic/caustic chemicals. Noise is typically moderate. PPE is required; during warmer months, PPE can increase heat exposure. You will encounter loud equipment at times.
