Key Job Responsibilities and Accountabilities:
- Improve the performance, capability, and efficiency of CNC machining operations through advanced machining knowledge, process optimization, and hands-on technical support
- Work closely with machinists, production supervisors, quality personnel, and manufacturing engineering to identify opportunities to reduce scrap, improve part quality, increase throughput, and establish robust, repeatable machining processes
- Work with Quality to establish effective process controls and machining capability standards
- Analyze scrap, rework, and dimensional non-conformance data to identify recurring problems/root causes
- Establish in-process measurement and verification strategies to detect deviations before they result in scrap
- Leverage capabilities built in modern CNC machine tools to ensure components are machined correctly the first time, consistently meet drawing specifications with minimal operator intervention, adjustments, or rework
- Evaluate existing CNC machining processes and identify opportunities to improve cycle times, accuracy, repeatability, and overall machine utilization
- Review machining strategies, tool paths, feeds, speeds, cutting tools, work holding, and setup procedures
- Identify opportunities to improve machining efficiency and output through better tooling selection, machining sequences, and process parameters without compromising quality
- Identify opportunities to improve dimensional accuracy, surface finish, concentricity, positional accuracy, and other critical characteristics
- Optimize machining processes to reduce unnecessary operations, tool changes, and machine downtime
- Implement corrective and preventive actions to eliminate recurring defects
- Leverage the full capabilities of existing CNC equipment to improve process performance
- Develop standardized machining practices that produce consistent results across machines and operators
- In-machine probing systems for automatic workpiece measurement, tool setting, dimensional verification, machine calibration, geometric accuracy, and backlash compensation
- Linear scales and high-accuracy feedback systems to improve positioning accuracy and repeatability
- Thermal and temperature compensation to account for machine growth, environmental changes, and operating conditions
- Tool length, diameter, and wear offsets to maintain dimensional accuracy throughout production runs
- Develop standardized setup sheets, machining instructions, and process documentation
- Tool monitoring and wear management to predict and prevent quality issues, and improve first-pass yield and reduce the cost of poor quality
- Develop in-machine measurement processes to avoid part removal and QC lab involvement
- Support the introduction of new machining processes, equipment, and technologies
- Train the other operators on operating CNC machines safely, efficiently, and setting up machines
