• Testing & Adjustment: Conduct test runs with completed tools or dies, inspect results against specifications, and make necessary adjustments.
• Machine Monitoring: Monitor automated machining operations and adjust machine parameters to achieve required production and quality outcomes.
• Material Handling: Cut, shape, and trim blanks or blocks and safely lift, position, and secure machined parts using appropriate equipment.
• Work Aids & Fixtures: Design jigs, fixtures, and templates to support efficient and accurate fabrication.
• Equipment Care & Production Support: Complete required maintenance and machine-cleaning logs and provide support to production as needed.
• Safety, Quality & Compliance: Promptly report food safety, workplace safety, violence, or quality concerns and follow all applicable ISO, SQF, GMP, and Health & Safety Management System requirements.

What You’ll Bring
