Machinist Senior

Job Description

1st Shift - 8am - 5pm

NOTE: The manager wants a person to have worked with tight tolerances (within .003 inches), inspection equipment, and blueprint reading. Can you add to your summary/notes - How tight of tolerances have you used in the past?
Must detail out why they left each job. - this will help you get an interview.

Required to work with the following machines and equipment

• Machines
• Grinders (OD, ID, profile, surface), CNC lathes, wire EDMs, broaches, manual equipment.
• Determine federate, spindle speeds, and depth of cut.
• Tooling & Work-holding
• Fixtures, arbors, vises, chucks, carriers, collets, and clamping systems.
• Inspection & Measurement (Less than .0005" tolerances)
• Micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges, surface finish comparators, and other precision measurement devices.
• Materials & Handling
• Handling of raw stock, semi-finished, and finished components; use of hoists, carts, or lifts.
• Deburring of components and features being produced.
• Computer Systems
• Completion of required shop paperwork and/or electronic records (e.g., job travelers, inspection records, time reporting).

Operates various conventional and/or numerically controlled machining centers on semi complex jobs. Works from blueprints, sketches, planning sheets, verbal instructions, and/or engineering, tooling, or equipment information. Contributes to lean initiatives to increase productivity and reduce costs. Works with limited guidance in a team environment.

1. Sets up and runs multiple production machines. Performs machine operations (including reworking parts) such
as cutting, shaping, deburring, forming, drilling, and grinding parts. Performs machine operations where the

adjustments and reports improper machine functioning or cutting action for correction.
2. Aligns and fastens work using standard fixtures and established methods.
3. Installs and adjusts cutting tools consistent with type and size of material being machined.
4. Follows established manufacturing methods using standard production machines, materials, and tooling.
5. Adjusts feeds, speeds, and depth of cut to machine quality parts, per documentation.
6. Operates hand and power tools to deburr precision and complex machine parts in accordance with semicomplicated
engineering blueprints and route sheets to close tolerances.
7. Inspects parts for conformance to specifications using measuring instruments such as gages, calipers,
micrometers and comparators. Uses various types of magnification equipment (including a microscope) to detect
and avoid damage to surfaces and critical areas. Visually inspects parts for burrs or damaged machined surfaces.
8. Routinely maintains equipment to ensure cleanliness, accuracy, and reliability specific to division requirements.
9. Accurately and regularly performs statistical process control (SPC) specific to division requirements.
10. Actively implements lean initiatives by identifying and providing suggestions on areas for improvement.
