ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

· Operate assigned manual or computer controlled machining equipment in accordance with work instructions, training, and approved procedures.

· Perform machine setup, tooling changes, offsets, adjustments, and program selection or programming when assigned and qualified.

· Read and apply drawings, specifications, work orders, and setup instructions; verify materials, tooling, and job requirements before production.

· Inspect first pieces and in-process parts using appropriate measuring instruments; document results and follow inspection requirements.

· Meet established production count and cycle time expectations while maintaining required quality and safe operating practices.

· Monitor scrap, identify defects and process variation, segregate nonconforming material, and promptly report quality concerns.

· Identify machine or tooling problems, perform authorized troubleshooting, and escalate issues requiring maintenance or technical support.

· Maintain accurate production, scrap, downtime, inspection, and other required records.
