This includes ordering tooling and materials, process development, CAM programming, fixture design, manufacturing the parts on the machines, and metrology / inspection.. You will also provide feedback on designs to make manufacturing faster, easier, and more repeatable. You will think quickly, produce quality work, and anticipate concerns before they become blockers. Additionally, you will collaborate with a small team of machinists in charge of keeping the shop clean, safe, and organized, enforcing shop policies, and training staff. What You'll Do: Interpret 3D models and engineering drawings to plan setups, program CAM, design fixturing, and run inspection workflows. Operate a variety of CNC machines (3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis mills; live-tool lathes; waterjets; and laser cutters) while maintaining tolerances down to ±0.0005 in (±13 µm). Develop innovative work-holding and tooling solutions for prototyping Generate efficient CAM programs, manage tool libraries, and maintain CAM templates. Perform in-process and final inspections using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM. Optimize feeds and speeds and drive continuous improvements in shop processes. Collaborate with engineers and machinists to provide design-for-manufacturing feedback on machined and welded parts/assemblies. Support fabrication of tooling, fixturing, and other structures for R&D hardware. Document setups, offsets, inspection results, and lessons learned to strengthen tribal knowledge. Uphold safety protocols, PPE usage, and compliance with company standards. Contribute to shop cleanliness, organization, and equipment readiness. Proactively manage assigned projects to deliver parts on schedule.
