CNC Rough Machining Specialists perform a role that consists of a variety of tasks that are vital to the mold making process. It requires someone who has excellent planning/communication skills to ensure that the many components going through the rough machining process come together in the designated timeline so that the customer due date is hit. Basic blueprint reading knowledge is required for this area. The Rough Machining Specialist is expected to do whatever it takes to get the most machine production runtime as quick as possible without jeopardizing quality. The Rough Machining Specialists must have knowledge of measuring equipment such as indicators, comparators, height gages, toolmaker scopes, and micrometers. Rough Machining Specialists must have the ability to follow instructions and communicate between other Team Members to ensure top quality with little downtime between all rotating shifts.
· Perform hands on machining tasks on the CNC Milling Machines to achieve top quality in a timely manner. Use blueprints, CAD files, written and verbal work instructions while operating the equipment in a safe manner at the skill levels required in achieving dimensional accuracy and productivity.
· Actively verifying and monitoring the quality of all components being manufactured through the milling process is a significant part of your job responsibility.
· Take personal ownership of all components being processed through the department to ensure the mold delivery due date is met.
· Communicate with the department Group Leader any concerns or issues that may jeopardize quality or completion date of the mold.
