Primary Duties & Responsibilities: .

Primary Functional responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Review and analyze method sheets, product drawings, work drawings, and related

specifications for each order to be processed and have any errors or inconsistencies

resolved.

• Prepare programs for each operation scheduled to run on CNC lathes, milling machines,

and grinding machines.

• Select and assign drills, reamers, cutters, threading tools, form tools, fixtures, spacers,

holders, cams, bushings, collets, etc (tooling) necessary to setup and perform each operation as called for on the method sheet.

• Utilize existing or standard tooling wherever possible. Design complicated tooling or

modify and improve existing tooling when standard tooling does not exist giving full

consideration to the dimension requirements, material, shrinkage, formability,

machinability, machining rates, etc.

• Prepare the necessary drawings for each new tool, assign part numbers and maintain part

number files, parts books, reference files or other records used to locate tools and parts and to eliminate duplication.

• Prepare layout sheets as required, especially for complicated progressions or multiple

tooling, to show manufacturing the position of each tool on turrets, carriages, slides, etc.,

the relationship to other tools and the sequences of operation.
