The Machinist I will:

* Assist with the planning, layout, machine and assemble to precision tolerances parts and tools designed to meet exacting standards and specifications consisting of mechanical or specialty apparatus.

* Set and operate a variety of machining equipment such as engine and bench lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, job borers, grinders, hones, gear cutters, and drill presses, to utilize basic functions of the machines.

* Plan and determine under supervision the sequence of machining operations, number of cuts required to obtain required finishes and tolerances, determine cutting tools to be used and method of holding and aligning work with supervision.

* Make simple layouts on parts involving compound angles and mating part work, to check for sufficient stock and for reference during machining.

* Set up machines to completely and independently perform any operations for basic functions. Select mount and align various specialized machine attachments and standard or improvised tooling. Determine, set, and adjust machine speeds, feeds and depth of cut. Select, mount, and fasten cutting tools for specified finish and best performance consistent with the type of material being machined. Work will be performed under direct supervision.

* May offer simple technical advice to engineers and customers on pre-fabrication, modifications, or repairs.

* Work from detailed drawings, templates, sketches, assembly blueprints, or oral instructions.

* May operate the machines to perform such typical operations as chasing all types of single and multiple external tapers; turning, boring, reaming, facing, slotting, etc., for any type of machine fit; machining parts involving compound angles or concentric and coordinated concave or convex surfaces to exacting tolerances; will include instruction from more experienced machinists.

* Ability to learn to program and operate at least one CNC language.

* Maintain a clean and organized work area.

* Organize and properly store inventory, materials, and safety equipment.

* Use of lift equipment as required.

* Perform related duties as required.

* Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and a minimum of 1 year of machinist experience.

* Knowledge of standard concepts, practices, and procedures.

* Familiarity in at least one CNC programming language.

* Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.

Preferences:

* Proficiency in the programming of CNC Mills and Lathes with CAD CAM is a plus;
ProE, GibbsCAM, or Conversational CNC with multi axis programming.

* Experience on the following machine tool types: HAAS Machining Centers, Hurco Machining Centers, Servo, Mazak Machining Centers.

* Experience with Horizontal multi axis or Vertical with 4th axis rotation with setup and tooling knowledge.

* Overhead crane experience.

* Handling of NASA flight hardware.
