CNC Setup Operator I (3rd Shift)

As a CNC Setup Operator (3rd Shift: 10:00 pm - 6:00 am) your role is to set up and operate CNC Turning and/or Milling Centers to machine metal and polymer workpieces. By ensuring precision and efficiency in every task, this role plays a crucial part in maintaining the highest standards of production quality and consistency.

Precision and Quality : By accurately reading programs, identifying errors, and setting up machines, you will ensure that each operation meets specific standards, thus maintaining high-quality production outputs.

Efficient tool and workpiece management: Selecting appropriate work holding, securing workpieces in CNC machines, and loading cutting tools, ensures smooth machining processes and reduces downtime. Additionally, setting new tooling, adjusting tools/programs as required, and repeating machine operations ensure continuous and efficient production runs.

Monitoring and Adjusting Operations: By setting up and operating machines and observing cutting operations, you will maintain the integrity of the machining process, ensuring each workpiece matches blueprint specifications and required metric measurements.

Quality Assurance: By comparing completed workpieces with blueprints and notifying leads of any non-compliant pieces, you ensure that only quality products move forward in the production process. You will use various gauges, such as micrometers, calipers, depth gauges, and thread gauges, to compare the parts to the prints.

Documentation and Communication: Accurately completing quality and production control documents and notifying leads of unusual occurrences will keep everyone informed and ensure transparent and effective communication.

Basic Maintenance and Safety: Performing basic machine maintenance functions and following all safety procedures ensures the longevity and safe operation of the equipment, protecting both machinery and personnel.
