CNC Machinist

Job Description Job Description Source One is a staffing services company and we're currently looking for the following individuals to work as permanent employees of a precision manufacturing and machining company in West Chester, PA. Title: Class 1 Machinist Pay: $27/hr - $35/hr plus benefits Title: Class 2 Machinist Pay: $22/hr - $30/hr plus benefits The Machinist is responsible for machining precision parts, maintaining equipment, completing set-ups, completing the change-over process. Keep parts running and within specifications once the Production Team Leader has interpreted the blueprints and set up the machines for continuous operation. They will also be able to keep parts running without consultation from the engineer and will be self-sufficient in performing the machining duties required until the job is complete. The primary function of a Machinist is to help the MET or MEM in producing good product, safely and to learn and progress in their technical abilities. Working consists of pulling materials, measuring a machine part, entering data into Sponge, making a machine offset, cleaning the machine parts through deburring and washing, cleaning the machine and surrounding area, performing machine maintenance or doing a complete set up. Machine Operation: - Capable of working in a superior manner with no direct supervision. Machinists should feel comfortable as problem solvers and must be able to find solutions quickly and easily. - Operates two or three machines during normal production. - Identifies different types of tooling such as drills, end mills, reamers and inserts and know how to properly use them. - Recognizes broken and/or worn tooling. Sharpens/replaces and resets tools in an efficient manner. - Maintains production goals through attention to the machining process from start to finish. Ensures that material, tooling is ready at the machine when needed. Parts should be inspected, deburred, properly tagged and moved to the next operation in an efficient manner. - Verifies estimated versus actual cycle times as well as Sponge cycle time and other Sponge inputs as required. Must document on Shop Schedule and send to Contract Review. - Ensures that parts are efficiently and accurately processed according to requirements, moved to the next operation. - Maintains a high level of attention to machine operations. Notifies the Production Team Leader of any mechanical problems. - Uses measuring and inspection equipment, and inspects parts accurately to the ten-thousandths, (0.0001), of an inch. Develops ways to inspect parts more efficiently. - Strives to understand the operation and machining capabilities of the equipment. Works with the cell Production Team Leader to advance knowledge in this area. - Maintains visual perception of a finished product and the ability to recognize an out of tolerance surface finish, burrs or any other machining defects. Maintains a high attention to detail. - Manufactures a finished part and takes responsibility for the accuracy of the end product. - Performs routine maintenance on machines before, during and after a production run and diagnoses machine troubles as needed, notifies the Production Team Leader of any mechanical problems. - Reads and follows the steps of a designated program completely. Understands the concepts of surface feed, feed rates, geometry, G codes, offsets and other CNC programming functions. - Performs tooling offsets in the X, Y & Z axes and sets or adjusts cutter compensation to ensure precise machining. - Assists Production Team Leader with machine break-down and setup. Follows the Change-Over Procedures and completes this process unassisted. - Updates the Shop Schedule part counts every three hours as required and helps with GSS pushes. Inspection: - Works from blueprints, drawings and sketches involving the use of standard machine shop mathematics and precision measuring instruments. - Identifies material types and alloys using bar stock color codes. - Checks parts in the sequence laid out in Sponge by the Production Team Leader and/or a Production Quality Control. - Holds dimensions to nominal value plus or minus the variation for each specific characteristic and adjust the machine accordingly. - Out of tolerance parts should be clearly marked and handled separately from production parts to ensure that non-conforming parts cannot be shipped to the customer. Non-conforming parts should be reported to your Production Team Leader for review before being scrapped. - Understands key elements of a blueprint, such as surface finish requirements and geometric & dimensional tolerances. - Serves as an expert in the use of standard analog, digital and optical inspection instruments. - Inspects parts completely and accurately whether working to blueprint specifications or according to Sponge requirements. - Enters measurements in Sponge during production as required - usually every 20 minutes. Qualifications: - Class 2 Machinist: Experience working with Mazak Lathes/Machining Centers or Star Swiss Style Lathes. - Class 1 Machinist: Proven experience operating Mazak Integrex Mill-Turn Centers, 5-Axis Machining Centers, and CNC Swiss machines (such as Star or comparable models). - High school diploma required or equivalent experience. - CNC machining experience, operating multiple machines simultaneously. - Skilled in running production parts to specification, performing routine and preventive machine maintenance, and managing efficient multi-machine operations. - Experience producing parts independently once setups are complete, with minimal engineering support. - Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot, adjust offsets, and maintain part quality throughout the run. - Strong mechanical aptitude, precision, and commitment to detail and quality. - Excellent multitasking ability, time management, and problem-solving skills. - Must be self-motivated and able to work effectively with minimal supervision. - Must be a company ambassador who supports and promotes the vision and company mission. - Special certifications or advanced training in CNC machining, programming, or multi-axis operation are desired. - Highly proficient in Microsoft Office.
