Job Number 00005260
Job Title Machinist
Location Kirkland, WA
Description Job Description for: CNC Machinist/Programmers MACHINISTS use machine tools such as lathes, drill press, and milling machines to produce precision metal parts. Though producing large quantities of one part, precision MACHINISTS often produce small batches or one of a kind item. MACHINISTS use knowledge of the working properties of metals and plastics and their skill with machine tools to plan and carry out the operations needed to make machined products that meet precise specifications. Job Tasks for: CNC Machinist/Programmers " Prepare geometric layout from graphic displays, using computer-assisted drafting (CAD) software or drafting instruments and graph paper. " Write instruction sheets, cutter lists, and machine instructions programs to guide set-up and encode numerical control tape. " Analyze drawings, specifications, printed circuit board pattern film, and design data to calculate dimensions, tool selection, machine speeds, and feed rates. " Determine reference points, machine cutting paths, or hole locations and compute angular and linear dimensions, radii, and curvatures. " Compare encoded tape or computer printout with original program sheet to verify accuracy of instructions. " Draw machine tool paths on pattern film, using colored markers and following guidelines for tool speed and efficiency. " Revise numerical control machine tape programs to eliminate instruction errors and omissions. " Enter computer commands to store or retrieve parts patterns, graphic displays, or programs to transfer data to other media. " Align and secure pattern film on reference table of optical programmer and observe enlarger scope view of printed circuit board. " Move reference table to align pattern film over circuit board holes with reference marks on enlarger scope. " Depress pedal or button of programmer to enter coordinates of each hole location into program memory. " Load and unload disks or tapes and observe operation of machine on trial run to test taped or programmed instructions. " Review shop orders to determine job specifications and requirements. " Sort shop orders into groups to maximize materials utilization and minimize machine setup. " Test program through simulation. Skills Required for: CNC Machinist/Programmers Important skills, knowledge, and abilities for machinists and NC Tool Programmers include: " Operations Analysis - Analyzing needs and product requirements to create a design. " Quality Control Analysis - Conducting tests and inspections of products, services, or processes to evaluate quality or performance. " Programming - Writing computer programs for various purposes. " Mathematics - Using mathematics to solve problems. " Computers and Electronics - Knowledge of circuit boards, processors, chips, electronic equipment, and computer hardware and software, including applications and programming. " Mechanical - Knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance. " Design - Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models. " Control Precision - The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine or a vehicle to exact positions. " Visualization - The ability to imagine how something will look after it is moved around or when its pars are moved or rearranged. " Information Ordering - The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain or pattern according to a specific rule or set of rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations). Work Environment for: CNC Machinist/Programmers Most machine shops are relatively clean, well lighted, and well ventilated. However, without the proper safety precautions such as earplugs, facemasks, and safety glasses the job can be noisy and hazardous. Without protection, possible hazards are flying metal chips, abrasive dust, sharp cutting tools, and moving parts.
