CNC Mill and Lathe Setup/Operator Night Shift

Employment Status: Full-time Regular

Job Summary

Preparing,setting up, and operating Haas 3-axis milling machines and Doosan turning
centers equipped with Y-axis capabilities to produce high-quality, precision
components.

Production using a diverse range of materials—including aluminum, stainless steel, brass,
copper, and various plastics. Interpret blueprints, select and install proper
tooling for complex turning and milling operations, perform first-article
inspections, and edit programs at the machine to ensure all parts conform to
tight dimensional tolerances.

Education and Experience

High School
Diploma or equivalent required with a technical degree, machinist
certification, or completion of an apprenticeship program is highly preferred
or 3–5 years of proven experience independently setting up and operating 3-axis
mills and lathes in a precision machining environment.

Knowledge

Material
Expertise: Proven experience machining a wide variety of materials including
aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, and plastics, with a strong
understanding of how each material affects tool wear, chip control, and
finishes.

Control
Literacy: Expert familiarity with Haas CNC controls and Fanuc-based systems
common to Doosan turning centers (e.g., Doosan Fanuc i series), including the
ability to read and edit G-code/M-code.

Technical
Blueprint Reading: Deep understanding of mechanical drawings, engineering
plans, and GD&T symbols.

Precision
Measurement: Expert capability in using precision hand measurement tools
(calipers, micrometers, indicators, and bore gauges).

Skills

Skills in
learning, listening, critical thinking, and effective communication. Understand
systems and can analyze, evaluate, and make sound decisions. Manage resources
efficiently, including time and materials, to support productive and organized
work.

Primary Job Duties

• Machine
  Setup: Perform efficient setups from scratch on Haas 3-axis vertical mills
  and Y-axis Doosan lathe according to job travelers, blueprints, and
  tooling instructions. Install and adjust collets, fixtures, vices, and
  custom work holding.
• Tooling
  Management: Select, preset, and install correct cutting tools and tool
  inserts based on material properties (e.g., managing heat in stainless
  steel vs. preventing melting in plastics). Set up live tooling and manage
  Y-axis tool offsets for off-center milling, drilling, and tapping
  operations on the Doosan lathe.
• Programming
  & Edits: Load CNC programs (G-code) via network links or control
  panels. Verify offsets, run dry runs, and make programming edits at the
  machine console (Haas Control and Fanuc/Doosan systems) to optimize feeds
  and speeds for different materials and compensate for tool wear.
• Quality
  Assurance: Read and interpret complex engineering prints and geometric
  dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Conduct first-piece and
  in-process inspections using precision measuring tools including
  micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and thread gauges.
• Production
  Operations: Load raw stock into feed mechanisms or chucks. Monitor machine
  cycles, speeds, feeds, and chip management during complex operations like
  drilling, milling, turning, boring, facing, and thread chasing.
• Troubleshooting
  & Maintenance: Listen to and observe machines to detect dull tooling,
  excessive vibration, or mechanical issues. Adjust settings or replace worn
  inserts immediately. Perform daily preventive maintenance, including
  monitoring lubrication and coolant levels.
• Documentation
  & Shift Continuity: Maintain accurate production records, quality data
  logs, and time tickets. Document and communicate machine status, tool
  wear, and irregularities to the incoming shift.
