CNC operator & Jig Setter
Job Summary
Experience: 25 years of experience setting up and operating CNC machines with at least 12 years specifically focused on composite materials.
Education: ITI Fitter Diploma in Mechanical or any suitable degrees
Technical Requirements:
CNC Setup & Operation: Set up and operate multi-axis (3-axis / 5-axis) CNC routing milling and trimming machines.
Tooling & Fixturing Management: Select install and align composite-specific tooling (diamond-coated/PCD tooling router bits compression cutters) and manage vacuum workholding systems (vacuum tables custom soft-jaws porous fixtures). Setting up of Assembly Jigs & Fixtures.
Blueprint & GD&T Interpretation: Read and interpret complex 3D CAD/CAM models engineering drawings and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) specifications.
Process & Tool Path Monitoring: Monitor cutting parameters (speeds feeds dust extraction flow) to prevent delamination splintering fiber pull-out or heat build-up in composite structures.
EHS & Dust Suppression: Strict adherence to safety protocols regarding airborne composite dust including operating dust containment systems (HEPA vacuums) wearing required PPE (P100/respirators) and maintaining clean-room standards.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Perform daily preventative maintenance on CNC machinery vacuum pumps and dust collection units; troubleshoot minor G-code program or setup issues.
Knowledge on CMM & Laser tracker is advantage
