Work Performed:
Under general supervision, determines from Engineering information the most efficient and expedient method of machining parts, assemblies, and related tools where dimensional sequencing of operations is required on numerical controlled machine shop equipment. Such determination must be related to the rate of production required and requires that the Engineer determine:
1.)Â Â Starting material size, form and condition.
2.)Â Â Sequence of fabrication operations to be performed on numerical controlled machines and their relation to operational processes of treatment and finish.
3.)Â Â Selection of numerical controlled machines and accessories available and capable of securing required tolerances, dimensions and shape.
4.)Â Â Orders, by word descriptions and/or sketch (Tool Orders), special, perishable, and gage tooling sufficient for purchase, make, or design and make of such items.
The Engineer’s Work Comprises:
1.)Â Â The determination of initial speeds and feeds of machine tools based on available data and experience and the selection of the proper cutting tools and coolant.
2.)Â Â The creation of tool orders, sketches, and dimensional charts, material sketches, machine operation diagrams and lists.
3.)  The sequence and operation’s numerical data and language necessary for direct or computer in-put to numerical controlled metal removing machine tools.
4.)Â Â The analysis of shop operations to:
A.)Â Correct for heat treat distortion.
B.)Â Adjust dimensions for fit and function and to secure Engineering change when required.
C.)Â Corrects machine selection, operation, definition or tooling to reduce scrap or cost.
5.)Â Â Directs and instructs lower classified Engineers.
6.)Â Â Maintains records and schedules of work assigned.
7.)Â Â Duties may involve miscellaneous functions such as analyzing, investigating and preparing facility studies relative to plant areas, man-hour, machinery and equipment cost, and specifying proper machines to be purchased, reviewing work to be sub-contracted and advising and assisting sub-contractors on Production Engineering and Manufacturing problems.
Desirable Qualifications:
1.)Â Â Two (2) years college or equivalent, with preferred courses in:
A.)Â Math through Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry.
B.)Â Engineering material.
C.)Â Metallurgy of aircraft type materials.
2.)Â Â Must have sufficient education to be able to:
A.)Â Solve mathematical problems as related to machine shop practices.
B.)Â To communicate either orally or in writing with personnel at Engineering level, as well as personnel at machine operator level.
Or Minimum Experience Of:
A.)Â Six (6) years general machine shop experience, or
B.)Â Three (3) years general machine shop experience with recent machine planning experiences in a lower classification of at least two years, or
C.)Â Three (3) years of machine trade school plus one (1) year of machine shop direct experience.
D.)Â Math through Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry.
