Automation Machinist

The Machinist sets up and operates CNC machining equipment to produce mechanical components for DeShazo's material handling equipment and automation systems. Most jobs are custom, one-off parts - you're rarely running the same setup twice, so the job is less about repeating a proven process and more about figuring out a new one, print by print.

DUTIES:

* Set up and operate CNC machining equipment to produce parts to print.

* Work primarily on custom, low-quantity and one-off parts - most jobs get set up once, run once, and don't repeat, so getting the first piece right matters more than repeating a process.

* Read prints, drawings, and BOMs, and work out how a part should be made - fixturing, operation order, and tooling.

* Select and load tooling, set offsets, run first article, and adjust the process to hold tolerance.

* Take on jobs with little or no repeat history, working out the setup yourself more often than following an existing program.

* Build simple work holding - soft jaws, jigs, and similar fixtures - to hold parts securely and repeatably for the job at hand.

* Inspect finished parts against print requirements using standard measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators).

* Keep your machine, tooling, and work area organized and ready to run.

* Flag print questions, tooling needs, or process issues.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

* High school diploma or GED.

* Hands-on machining experience, or equivalent machining/CNC trade school training.

* Ability to read and interpret mechanical prints, drawings, and BOMs.

* Basic computer skills (Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel).

* Own basic measuring and hand tools - calipers, micrometers, indicators - or a willingness to acquire them.

* Comfortable switching between different parts and setups frequently, rather than running the same job for an extended stretch.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

* CAM programming experience.

* Experience setting up jobs from a print or model with no process already worked out.

* Forklift experience.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:

* Regularly lift up to 25 lbs.

* Occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.

* Stand/walk for 8-10-hour shifts

* Be able to work in any position (reach, bend, kneel, etc.)

* Ability to learn quickly and retain information long term
