  • Remove burrs, sharp edges, residual material, chips, and surface imperfections without damaging machined surfaces or altering critical dimensions, holes, radii, chamfers, or other specified features. 
  • Perform visual inspections and basic dimensional checks in accordance with work instructions, engineering drawings, control plans, visual standards, and quality requirements. 
  • Use approved measuring and inspection equipment, such as calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other inspection devices, as required and trained. 
  • Identify, contain, and communicate nonconforming or questionable components in accordance with established quality procedures. 
  • Clean machined components and remove chips, coolant, debris, or residue as required before inspection or downstream processing. 
  • Safely handle, move, stage, load, and unload components using carts, racks, lifting devices, or other approved material-handling equipment. 
  • Verify part identification, production status, routing, and traceability requirements. 
  • Maintain deburring tools, abrasives, gauges, fixtures, and other equipment in proper working condition and identify worn, damaged, or ineffective tooling. 
  • Support machining operations through activities such as fixture cleaning, tool and material staging, chip removal, workstation preparation, and general production support. 
  • Perform secondary manufacturing operations such as part washing, marking, gauging, rust prevention, packaging, or preparation for subsequent manufacturing processes as required. 
  • Cross-train and support additional machining, finishing, inspection, cleaning, and material-handling operations as business needs require. 

What you’ll bring: 

  • High school diploma or equivalent. 
  • Previous experience in manufacturing, machining, metal finishing, deburring, inspection, or a similar precision manufacturing environment. 
  • Experience using pneumatic deburring tools, grinders, files, abrasive tools, or similar finishing equipment.
