CNC Machinist 2nd Shift

Gleason is seeking Machinists with a wide range of experience for 2nd Shift openings

We offer excellent learning opportunities for candidates just beginning their career in Advanced Manufacturing as well as Precision Machinist jobs for those candidates with the highest level of experience.

Set up and operate a variety of conventional and/or CNC machine tools to produce precision parts and/or instruments by applying knowledge of mechanics, mathematics, metal properties, layout, and machining procedures. Verify product by inspection of precision parts to meet defined print specifications.

• Lathe - turning to .001” tolerance
• Mill - horizontal & vertical to .001” tolerance
• CNC Multi-axis Machining Center to .001” tolerance
• Internal/External Precision Grinding to .0001” tolerance
• CURVIC Coupling Grinding to .00005” tolerance

The Machinist Level I performs machine operations on conventional or CNC machine tools such as lathes, boring mills, milling machines, grinding machines, or shapers:

• Read and interpret blueprints, program readouts, and technical directives to determine and obtain materials and cutting tools for the job and to visualize the finished part and critical surfaces, dimensions, and tolerances.
• Complete basic machine set ups.
• Follow detailed instructions concerning the location of necessary dimensions on blueprints, sequence of machine operations, machine feeds and speeds, tools to be used, alignment processes, and predetermined machined dimensions.
• Align parts in the machine according to set methods and given reference points, exercising care to keep material, holding fixtures, and machine stops clear of chips and particles.
• Use knowledge of machine operations to recognize defective tooling, improper coolant flow, the need for changing speeds or feeds, machine malfunctions, or obvious dimensional deviations.
  Correct the problem by adjusting the machine, cutting tool, or fixture or obtain assistance from a higher level machinist.
• Use measuring instruments such as internal and external micrometers, vernier height and depth gages, indicators, scales, and various standard or preset snap, plug, bore, or ring gages to achieve and maintain critical dimensions and tolerances during the machining process.
• Use measuring instruments to check the accuracy of dimensions and maintain dimensions through the use of fixtures or preset machine stops, depending upon the dimensional tolerances allowed.
• Basic knowledge of trade mathematics including plane geometry and the use of trigonometric functions and machinist handbook formulas.
• Requires supervision, guidance and training as skills are developed.

The Machinist Level II meets the requirement of a Machinist Level I plus:

• Operate a wider variety of more complex machine tools.
• Extends the scope of operations on these machines by using various standard machine attachments such as rotary tables, magnetic chucks, gear changing boxes, angular drive heads, taper attachments, and universal milling attachments.
• Intermediate skills in performing precision work on parts that present complex configurations and close tolerances between interrelated surfaces.
• Plan and lay out work from blueprints, work sheets, and drawings that may have missing or incorrect information.
• Operate CNC machine tools when the required manual input includes changes in coolant flow, increases or decreases in speeds and feeds, or stops are programmed for dimensional checks or minor adjustments.
• Edit a CNC program to ensure the part meets the drawing specifications.
• Knowledge of various metals, alloys, and other materials and their machining characteristics that enable them to…
