- Plans machining operation by studying work orders, engineering orthographic drawings, engineering work instructions, materials, specifications, reference planes, locations of surfaces, and machining parameters interpreting geometric Imperial, SI dimensions base on ANSI and ISO standards and tolerances (GD&T).
- Programs mills, router and lathes by entering instructions, including zero and reference points, setting tool registers and offsets, compensation, and conditional switches, calculating requirements including basic math (geometry, and trigonometry) proving part programs.
- Sets-up mills, Routers, lathes and grinders by installing and adjusting three- and four-jaw chucks, tools, attachments, collets, bushings, cams, gears, stops, and stock pushers. Indicating vices, machining fixtures and tramming machine heads.
- Verifies settings and programs by measuring positions, first-run part, and sample work pieces adhering to DFP standards.
- Maintains part specifications by observing machining operations.
- Monitors the feed and speed of machines during the machining process, taking measurements, detecting program error and malfunctions.
- Troubleshooting processes, adjusting and reprogramming controls.
- Adheres to DFP quality assurance procedures and processes specifications.
- Maintains equipment by completing instructed preventive maintenance requirements, following manufacturer's and DFP instructions. Troubleshooting malfunctions and reporting to management any needed equipment repairs.
- Sharpens and replaces worn tools.
- Maintains continuity among work shifts by documenting and communicating actions, irregularities, and continuing needs in job turnovers. Documents actions by completing production and quality logs.
- Updates job knowledge by participating in educational opportunities (offsite / off-shift training) and continuous self-improvement through trade publications.
- Accomplishes organization goals by accepting ownership for accomplishing new and different requests (cross training), exploring opportunities to add value to job accomplishments.
- Comply with lean manufacturing principles and work with leads and supervisors to explore and implement best practices in the manufacturing process.
- Maintains safe operations by adhering to DFP safety procedures and regulations.
