Tool and Die Maker - Power Generation

• Work from tool design prints, sketches, engineering information and/or utilize standard shop practice or established procedures; plan the sequence of operation, determine proper tools, equipment, and material types and sizes of tools, jigs, fixtures, and dies such as blanking, piercing, and forming dies for punch press, drop hammer, and hydro press; grinding, assembly and drill jigs; machine tool fixtures; and a variety of hand tools and machines or machine attachments, gauges, and templates.
• Supply information lacking on the design, print, or sketch. Work with supervisory, liaison, and engineering personnel to devise layouts and methods of producing tools or other fabrications.
• May suggest design improvements or material substitutions to proper personnel.
• Prepare sketches, and/or layout for machining tooling details.
• Perform as required, special assignments to fabricate and assemble parts of assemblies for special tooling and/or machines, and suggest changes in tool design, layout and fabrication involving practicability, economy, and process of manufacture.
• Coordinate with and assist tool design and production personnel to set up tooling prior to first piece inspection, and to effect necessary tool modification.
• Perform rework, repair, and check functions of the level of difficulty described herein.
• Act in a liaison capacity between Manufacturing, Experimental, Tool Design, and Tooling departments to assure economy and practicability of tooling and to solve complicated tooling problems.
• Investigate problems attributed to faulty tooling; check tools and/or materials to determine if malfunction is due to faulty design, improper construction or incorrect use of tools. Isolate problem and collaborate with cognizant personnel to initiate necessary action for its elimination such as ordering rework of tooling, tooling material substitution, and writing factory work orders, specifying what is to be done to increase efficiency and reduce cost of manufacture.
