CNC & Assembly Technician
Specifying, sourcing, and buying machine tools, tooling, workholding, and metrology as we build the shop out
Installing, leveling, commissioning, and maintaining machines, and keeping them running
Machining across manual and CNC equipment — mills, lathes, grinders, and whatever we add next
Programming and setup, including CAM, workholding, fixturing, and speeds and feeds
Reading, marking up, and creating drawings and models, with real GD&T
Precision parts in aluminum, stainless, copper, and refractory metals, including vacuum compatible hardware
Mechanical assembly and integration — fasteners and torque, alignment, shimming, fits, and getting it to go together
Inspection and first article checks with calipers, micrometers, height gauges, indicators, and CMM where required
Working directly with the engineers, and telling them when a part is drawn in a way that cannot be made or cannot be made affordably
Shop safety, tooling inventory, consumables, and keeping the place in a state you would be proud to show a customer
Requirements
You have set up a shop, or major machines in one, and know what to buy and what not to buy
You are competent on both manual and CNC equipment, and know when the manual machine is the right answer
You read drawings and GD&T fluently, and can create a drawing when one does not exist
You hold real tolerances and can prove it, and you inspect your own work
You assemble as well as you machine — the part is not done until it goes into the machine and works
You should be comfortable in an early stage environment where the shop is not finished, the process is not written yet, and the answer to most questions is that you figure it out and then write it down.
