CNC Machinist 1st and 2nd Shift

The Manufacturing Technician I (MFG Tech I) support all manufacturing related operations for automated and nonautomated equipment with the goal to achieve production targets. Ensuring that automated equipment is functional and prepared for production operations at start of shift, provide programming support to resolve automation inefficiencies or program new tasks, troubleshoot, repair and restart equipment from machine malfunctions. Manufacturing operations include sheet metal automated equipment and robotic welding systems in the manufacturing environment that facilitate the completion of welded assembly for the component associated value stream. The MFG Tech I is a one stop solution for advanced manufacturing operations, such as autonomous cutting, sorting, stacking, bending (Forming), punching, and robotic welding. Maintenance of assigned company equipment and programming of parts are included in this role. As such, you'll work closely with Design Engineering, Research & Development, Supply Chain, Operations, and have continuous interaction with production supervision.

In this role, you may directly support operations to ensure equipment is running properly and fully connected to advanced manufacturing systems such as:

• TRUMPF: Programming, operational, planning software solutions and equipment.
• Motoman YRC 1000 robot controller
• Microsoft Office Suite and Interaction with HMI

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Perform all assigned tasks in a safe, efficient, timely, accurate and highly productive manner according to company policy.
• Follow company policies and procedures.
• Navigate and operate HMI controls of robotic system.
• Assist additional systems team members to load parts and assemblies into system.
• Lead troubleshooting and solving part fit up and system function issues as they arise.

• Communicate issues that require technical support with appropriate Technician and Engineer.
• Communicate status with Line Lead and Production Supervisor.

• Work with team members in pre and post line operations to communicate and address problems.
• Facilitate operator preventive maintenance tasks as required and communicate any issues that are noted with Management and Maintenance.
• Trains on operation of equipment
• Perform all other duties as assigned by Lead or Production Supervisor.

• Responsible for handling all programming, operating and maintenance of the assigned manufacturing equipment.
• Manage assigned technology, report out on key performance indicators: on time delivery, quality, Takt management, and machine utilization).
• Maintain, troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair equipment. Engage external resources (suppliers) as necessary.
• Setup and operate specified machining centers.
• Troubleshoot problems within programming and the functions of the machine or partner with maintenance or outside vendor to resolve the issue.
• Work from solid models and blueprints.
• Perform parts analysis for productivity, time studies, and produce R&D parts, as scheduled.
• Programming and validation of new products and prototypes for quality and functionality
• Performing product manufacturing and assembly tasks as assigned
• Conducting quality checks of parts and components
• Monitoring product process and suggesting improvements.
• Support adherence to the specified production schedule
• Optimizing production efficiency by adjusting machinery and equipment settings as needed
• Setting up the production equipment and assisting theMachine Operatorin handling the machinery
• Inspecting machinery and production equipment and troubleshooting minor errors
• Performing minor repairs and reporting breakdowns in a timely manner
• Keeping equipment maintenance logs and maintaining a safe and clean work environment
• Training new employees Conducting training sessions for team members
• Collaborating with other departments to complete production orders on time
• Complying with internal policies and industry regulations

Above is a list of the most important responsibilities and functions, which are essential to the position. Employees must be able to perform these essential functions satisfactorily with or without a reasonable accommodation. Accommodations will be evaluated and provided to eligible employees on a case-by-case basis, depending on the employee's medical restrictions, work availability, the nature of the position, the position's essential functions and other relevant factors.
