Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed records of machine setup, tooling, production data, and process improvements. Prepare and update standard operating procedures (SOPs) for machine operations and safety. Provide regular reports on production efficiency, machine performance, and quality control metrics to management. Safety & Compliance: Ensure that all machining operations are conducted in accordance with company safety protocols and industry regulations. Maintain a clean and safe working environment by ensuring all safety procedures are followed and that machinery is operated correctly. Conduct safety audits and assist in training staff on machine shop safety procedures and best practices. Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field. Relevant certifications (e.g., CNC programming, machining certifications) are a plus. Experience: Minimum of five (5) years of experience working in a machine shop environment, with a strong background in CNC machining, manual machining, or related manufacturing processes. Hands-on experience with CNC machines, milling machines, lathes, grinders, and other precision machining equipment. Experience with CAD/CAM software (e.g., SolidWorks, Mastercam, Siemens NX) and CNC programming. Skills & Competencies: Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and materials. Proficient in technical problem-solving and troubleshooting of machining operations. Experience in using precision measurement instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, height gauges, CMM). Solid knowledge of manufacturing quality control processes and standards. Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100) and safety regulations. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with machine operators, engineers, and management. Optional but preferred: CNC Programming and Operation certification. Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or other process improvement certifications. Experience in aerospace, automotive, Firearms or precision manufacturing industries. Experience working with multi-axis CNC machines, robotics, or automation systems in a manufacturing setting. Knowledge of ERP or MRP systems for production scheduling and inventory management. Experience in managing or leading teams in a production environment. PIf40296b3271b-25660-36585196
