Haas VF-4 3-axis mills
Haas UMC-750 5-axis mills
Design and build fixtures and work holding, and perform complete machine setups.
Complete machining operations through first article inspection.
Develop tool lists and machining strategies that prioritize safety, accuracy, surface quality, and cost effectiveness
Utilize Renishaw probing systems (tool setter and part probe) for setup, in-process verification, and inspection
Support manual mill and lathe work for quick-turn prototype parts, tooling, and fixturing.
Perform saw operations to prepare raw material as required and perform final deburr including edge-breaks, polish and thread

work as required.

Apply strong understanding of GD&T, datum structures, and inspection methods to ensure parts meet engineering intent
Perform first-article inspections and support quality documentation
Work closely with manufacturing and design engineers to influence DFM and process development
Help establish shop best practices, standard work, and workflows as the shop grows

Safety, Organization & Culture

Maintain an extremely high standard of safety — safety is the number one priority
Take ownership of equipment care, preventive maintenance, and proper machine use
Keep tooling, fixtures, and work areas organized and clearly labeled
Support and help build a 5S / Lean manufacturing environment
Demonstrate a proactive, can-do attitude and willingness to step in where needed
