Prototype Machining:
Set up and operate CNC lathe machines Mori NLX machines to produce a myriad of prototype parts and components
Collaborate with engineers and designers to understand project requirements, specifications, and desired outcomes for prototype production.
Programming and Tooling:
Develop CNC programs using CAM software ESPRIT, or leverage in house talent, to ensure accurate and efficient machining of prototype parts.
Select appropriate tooling, inserts, and fixtures for each machining project, optimizing cutting parameters for optimal results.
Machining Process:
Execute complex machining operations with a high degree of precision, paying close attention to detail and tolerances.
Monitor machining processes, make real-time adjustments, and troubleshoot issues to ensure prototype quality and integrity.
Continuous Improvement:
Provide valuable feedback to engineering and design teams regarding prototype manufacturability, suggesting improvements to enhance functionality, performance, and ease of production.
Safety and Compliance:
Adhere to all safety protocols and guidelines, ensuring a safe and secure working environment for yourself and your colleagues.
Comply with company policies and procedures, including quality standards and regulatory requirements.
Qualifications:
10+ years of complex setup machining preferred on lathe
Lathe CAM programming experience preferred but not necessary - this is an opportunity to develop that skill set further
Ability to train and lead other machinists
