SUMMARY: 

The CNC Machinist II will be responsible for ensuring production of both precision machined components along with brazed chassis assemblies for the Aerospace and Defense industries in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This role will be expected to work collaboratively with other CNC machinists, CNC programmers, quality inspectors, production control personnel and management in the completion of their daily activities. This role will support the setup and operation for both existing and new product introduction (NPI) components and processes in the production of machined components and assemblies while ensuring customer quality requirements are being met and maintained. 

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

·         Setup, prove out new programs, and operate manufacturing processes on various types of CNC equipment including vertical, horizontal and 5 axis milling machines in the manufacture of precision machined components and brazed chassis assemblies. 

·         Work collaboratively with CNC programming in the launching and development (proving out) of CNC processes on the manufacturing floor for piece part components and brazed assemblies. 

·         Troubleshoot and problem-solve technical (cutting tool, offset related, program, workholding) 

quality and process related issues on across various types of CNC equipment and processes 

·         Manufacture, assemble, and accurately load parts into various types of machine workholding (vises, vacuum chucks, mechanical fixturing) for CNC process completion.

·         Perform in-process inspection using mechanical and optical measurement tools (micrometer, calipers, thread gaging, surface plates, height gaging, and comparator) as required to ensure quality and customer compliance. 

·         Interpret and verify coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data to make process modifications for part and quality compliance. 

·         Maintain production of multiple CNC machining centers in daily activities as required 

·         Establish and adjust cutting tool and coordinate work offsets as required to maintain process quality during production.

·         Setup cutting tools and toolholder assemblies and perform machine tool changes as required for initial machine setup and continued production. 

·         Perform manual machining operations using handtools, manual mills, engine lathes, surface grinders and other equipment as required

·         Perform edits to CNC programs as required for tool and offset numbers, speeds and feeds, etc… 

·         Perform post-machining secondary operations (deburring, cleaning) as required. 

·         Ensure all 5s standards are being met and sustained for safety, organization, cleanliness and maintenance for assigned workstations.

·         Accurate data entry and completion of all administrative tasks related to production (clocking in and out of operations on the job traveler, recording the # of parts completed per shift, updating lean daily management boards, etc…) 

·         Train and support other employees in the completion of tasks and activities

·         Perform minor maintenance activities related to CNC operation (fill coolant, monitor chip bins, maintain vacuum systems, etc…) 

·         Other duties as assigned by supervisor
