The Machinist supports production and facility equipment by building, modifying, repairing, and maintaining precision mechanical components, molds, tooling, jigs, fixtures, and related equipment. This position works independently from engineering drawings, sketches, and verbal or written instructions to perform a broad range of machining operations while maintaining precise mechanical tolerances. The Machinist applies advanced knowledge of machining practices, materials, injection molding processes, and precision measurement to troubleshoot and resolve mold- and equipment-related issues.

• Set up, operate, and maintain a variety of manual, CNC, and hand-operated machine tools.
• Perform machining operations including milling, turning, facing, boring, grooving, contouring, dovetailing, drilling, tapping, grinding, and polishing to precise tolerances.
• Construct, modify, repair, and maintain complex molds and mold components used in precision injection molding operations.
• Assemble completed molds and perform functional testing; identify and make necessary modifications or repairs.
• Interpret complex blueprints, engineering drawings, sketches, specifications, and general work instructions.
• Lay out work for molds, mold components, jigs, fixtures, and other tooling.
• Determine dimensions, component arrangement, venting requirements, and related design considerations using available product and process information.
• Apply algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to calculate angles, hole locations, dimensions, and machining requirements.
• Set up and operate CNC equipment; select appropriate materials, machining methods, tooling, and sequence of operations.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds, feeds, coolants, and machining techniques based on material properties and hot-manifold injection molding process requirements.
• Use hand tools, hand-polishing equipment, and other finishing methods to produce details that cannot be effectively machined.
• Grind, sharpen, and…
