CNC Machinist (Toyoda HMC)

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented CNC Machinist specializing in large-scale horizontal machining. This role is responsible for the end-to-end setup and operation of a Toyoda FH800 Horizontal Machining Center (HMC) with a Fanuc-based control system. You will be tasked with transforming raw materials into high-precision components, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency are met. In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be: Setup: Perform complex machine setups including the installation of tombstones, fixtures, and specialized work-holding devices on the Toyoda FH800’s 800mm pallets. Tooling: Select, assemble, and preset cutting tools. Load tools into the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and input tool offsets (length and diameter) into the CNC controller. Operation: Execute production runs, monitoring the machine for unusual noises, vibrations, or tool wear. Perform mid-program restarts and manual data input (MDI) as required. Quality Control: Inspect first-off and production parts using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, bore gages, and CMM reports) to ensure adherence to tight tolerances. Maintenance: Perform daily preventative maintenance, including checking coolant levels, lubricating ways, and clearing chips from the FH800’s high-capacity chip conveyor system. Process Improvement: Collaborate with programming and engineering teams to optimize feed rates, speeds, and cycle times for improved throughput. Who You Are: You quickly and decisively act in fact-changing, unexpected situations. You adjust communication content and style to meet the needs of diverse collaborators. For This Role, You Will Need: 3+ years of Toyoda Experience: Proven experience operating and setting up Toyoda FH-series machines or similar heavy-duty HMCs. Control Systems: Proficiency in Fanuc 31i-Model or similar Toyoda-specific CNC controls. Ability to read and edit G-code and M-code. Blueprints: Advanced ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols. Metrology: Expert use of manual inspection tools and an understanding of surface finish requirements. Physical Requirements: Ability to handle large workpieces and perform setups involving heavy lifting (within safety limits) and overhead crane operation for loading pallets. Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart: Problem Solver: Ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues or programming errors on the fly. Safety Conscious: Strict adherence to PPE requirements and machine guarding protocols. Efficiency Mindset: Understanding of lean manufacturing principles to minimize setup downtime (SMED).
