Overview

Sr CNC Machinist - 3rd Shift at Parker Hannifin

Position summary and requirements reflect the responsibilities and qualifications for a CNC machinist role on the Parker Aerospace team.

Sets up and operates various conventional and/or numerically controlled (CNC) machining centers on complex jobs, primarily Okuma multi-axis lathes, Okuma mills, and HAAS 5-axis mills. Works from blueprints, sketches, planning sheets, verbal instructions, and/or engineering, tooling, or equipment information. Contributes to lean initiatives to increase productivity and reduce costs. Works independently with minimum guidance in a team environment.

• Runs multiple machines efficiently, which may require simultaneous operations. Adapts or improvises tooling to accomplish results where operations require a broad knowledge of production machining technology, operating skills, and shop techniques.
• Sets ups, adjusts, and operates a variety of conventional and/or special purpose machines to perform the most diversified and difficult production operations on work with close tolerances and unusual contours.
• Interprets customer requirements from blueprints, complex drawings, engineering specifications, quality directives, charts, tables, sketches, and verbal instructions.
• Interfaces with engineering to resolve drawing errors, suggest design changes, and solve product/process problems.
• Implements manufacturing methods using standard production machines, materials, and tooling. May advise and assist with tooling design.
• Makes complex setups, which may include multiple work piece stations, utilizing custom and standard holding devices.
• Develops and defines processes with limited documentation, as required.
• Troubleshoots and resolves machining problems.
• Responsible for machining and checking parts to maintain a high level of quality and efficiency.
• Inspects finished parts for conformance to specifications using visual examination and precision measuring instruments. May use CMM. Ensures equipment is calibrated on schedule.
• Routinely maintains equipment to ensure cleanliness, accuracy, and reliability per division requirements.
• Accurately and regularly performs statistical process control (SPC) per division requirements.
• Uses advanced shop mathematics and knowledge of metal characteristics and processing requirements.
• Actively contributes to lean initiatives by identifying improvement opportunities and applying lean concepts and tools in the work area.
• Provides guidance or assistance in coordinating workload priorities based on business demand.
• Observes all company policies and procedures, including safety rules, and maintains a clean and orderly work area.
• Trains and mentors less experienced team members.
• Performs other related responsibilities as requested.

Five or more years of directly related CNC machining experience in a high technology manufacturing environment. Okuma multi-axis lathes, Okuma mills and HAAS 5 axis mills preferred. Able to work independently with minimum supervisory guidance in a fast-paced environment.

Handles multiple tasks with changing priorities to meet customer needs. May require specialized certification specific to division requirements (e.g., certified operator). Reads and follows blueprints, complex drawings, engineering specifications, and informal written or verbal instructions. Able to make and evaluate precision machine setups with a solid understanding of precision machining principles; experience machining shaped forgings preferred. Working knowledge of advanced shop mathematics, including trigonometry.

Able to implement lean initiatives. Demonstrates effective verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment on research and solution development. Mentoring and training skills, ability to serve as a resource to team members. Interprets reports and uses job-specific software applications.
