General Machinist - N0309

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work that matters with a company where diversity, equity, and inclusion are shared values.

Boeing Commercial Airlines has exciting opportunities for General Machinists located in Auburn, WA.

General Machinists set up, operate, and adjust numerous types of Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) single and multiple tool machining centers. These machines may include lathes, planers, and milling machines. They utilize custom control media setups and program documents to fabricate close tolerance, high-quality parts from metals, plastics, and composite materials.

• Prepare to set-up job (e.g., production orders, first lots, tool tryouts) or run previously set-up job by reviewing work order tie-in sheets, operator's or setup documents, drawings, or CATIA plots.
• Ensure that correct material (e.g., type and quantity) was issued per plan and is free from defects. Select appropriate tools as required.
• Identify type of set-up required to machine part/assembly.
• Perform layout/lofting on parts/assemblies as required.
• Perform machining operations using manual/CNC machines as required.
• Generate (NC) Numerically Controlled programs and setup documents using an on-line computer system and math (e.g., algebra, geometry, trigonometry) as required.
• Select machine accessories and holding devices (e.g., chucks, vises, turntables). Verify that apparatus is in good condition. Identify fixtures and/or shop aids to be built and fabricate using appropriate equipment (e.g., mill, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, sander, grinder) as required.
• Attach machine accessories, tools, and shop aides using dial indicators, edge finders, wrenches, bolts, clamps, and overhead cranes.
• Upload/download CNC programs to machine controller using computing programs from various servers/data bases.
• Troubleshoot and edit program media (e.g., Media Tryout (MTO)) as required.
• Select and check cutting tools per program or CNC documents. Ensure cutters are the correct type, length, diameter, radius, and are in good condition.
• Load and unload cutters following program information or set-up documents using tool holders, spindle tapers, hand tools (e.g., wrenches, mallets, spanners) and/or overhead cranes.
• Set machine coordinates or index points per CNC documents, including cutter offset/compensations, tool heights, and probes using controller keyboard, coax indicator, or digital readout height blocks, shims, and edge finders.
• Run CNC programs to machine rough and precision cut parts following CNC documents.
• Adjust machine settings (e.g., speeds and feeds) to correct machining problems or to prepare machine for next operation in sequence. Perform editing of CNC programs per shop requirements.
• Monitor machine during operation for unusual vibration or sounds, watch machine gauges and controller display or digital readout for warnings, visually check cutter path clearance, chips to ensure smooth operation.
• Check work during each operation and/or after completed job to ensure parts are complete per drawing/plan and that there are no defects (e.g., tool marks, mismatch, incorrect cutter finish).
• Develop and perform Statistical Process Control (SPC) functions if required.
• Handle and dispose of hazardous materials (e.g., coolants, solvents) in approved manner per Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) using personal protective equipment as required.
• Assist other employees with setups, methods, and procedures by passing on verbal and written information and answering questions.
• Maintain personal and tool certifications as required.

• 2+ years of experience using Microsoft Office applications such as SharePoint, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Project
• 2+ years of experience using basic math (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
• Ability to lift, push, and pull up to 35 pounds frequently within an 8-hour shift
• 2+ years of experience working with detailed work instructions, reading and interpreting blueprints, drawings, or specifications
• 2+ years of experience using precision…
