Job Description
Summary:This occupation requires planning the sequence of operations, layouts and construction of various types and sizes of jigs and fixtures used in the fabrication of parts and assemblies, including the fabrication of jigs and fixture for master tooling. With an emphasis placed on designing complex tooling when furnished with only engineering drawings of the parts to be produced.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Under general supervision, must be able to perform a variety of job duties including, but not limited to:
Plans sequence of operations, fabricates, builds and makes complete layout of all types of jigs and fixtures (including tool masters), involving compound angles where the establishment and coordination to exacting to tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points between several planes is required.
Must be capable of suggesting changes in design involving practicability, economy, and process manufacture to proper personnel.
Makes decisions regarding fabrication and design detail parts such as fitting stops, locating pins and mechanical operation of jigs and submits them for approval to proper personnel.
Lays out and fabricates from tool design and engineering prints and sketches for the construction of such jigs as sub-assembly and assembly jigs (including tool masters) involving coordination of tooling holes and reference points in parallel planes or planes at right angles and having compound angles and complex contours where the establishment and coordination to exacting tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points in several planes is required.
Determines permanent or tooling reference points on jig and fixture structures using sight level and transits when required.
Performs the layout, fabrication assembly, rework and repair of jigs, fixtures and tool masters involving compound angles and complex contours where the establishment and coordination to exacting tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points in several planes is required.
Performs rework, repair and other associated operations relating to the work described.
Follow all Senior policies and procedure.
Must have more Mill Specialist experience.
Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications
Education and/or Experience:
High School Degree or General Education Degree; or 5 years of related experience and/ or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Required Skills:
Language:Ability to read and comprehend simple instructions, short correspondence, and memos.
Reasoning Ability: Ability to apply a general understanding to carry out detailed, written and oral instructions. Ability to deal with problems involving a few concrete variables in standardized situations.
Mathematical Ability:Ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in all units of measure, using whole numbers, common fractions, and decimals. Must know how to use higher shop mathematics such as descriptive geometry and trigonometry to figure compound angles, complex contour and multiple coordinated dimensions as well as any other calculations necessary to perform work. Must be able to perform these calculations quickly and without assistance from other persons.
Other Abilities:Must be able to read and interpret blueprints and design drawings. Must be able to set up and operate necessary equipment. Must have the ability to perform all necessary operations in the fabrication of jigs and fixtures, use precision measuring instruments, and having a general knowledge of machine shop practice and procedure. Must be able to adopt jig and fixture building ship theory. Must be able to assist in accurately quoting the time required to build jig and fixtures. Must be able to perform in jig and fixture building.
Tools used:
Hand tools, brushes, torches, and templates. Must be able to use machinists hand tools, precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, height and surface gauges, Verniers, scribes, calipers, templates, transits, sight levels, dial indicator, sine blocks, straight edges, and gauge blocks.
Materials used:
Lubricants, rubber, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their alloys in various degrees of hardness in the form of sheet stock.
