• Observe machines operation to detect sounds such as those made by dull cutting tools or excessive vibration and adjust machines to compensate for problems.
• Adjust machine feed and speed, change cutting tools.
• Stop machines to remove finished work pieces, or to change tooling, setup, or work piece placement, according to requirement machining sequences.
• Measure dimensions of finished work pieces to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments.
• Maintain industrial machines within the scope of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) specifications, applying knowledge of mechanics, shop mathematics, metal properties, layout, and machining procedures.
• Comply with safety regulations and maintain clean and orderly work areas.
• Promote a compliance culture in area of responsibility and live the letter and spirit of the Code of Conduct.
• Advanced Job Functions:
  • Mount, install, align, and secure tools, attachments, fixtures, and work pieces on machines, using hand tools and precision measuring instruments.
  • Lift work pieces to machines manually, or with hoists or cranes.
  • Establish zero reference points on work pieces, such as at the intersections of two edges or over hole locations.
  • Calculate machine speed and feed ratios, and the size and position of cuts.
  • Modify cutting programs to account for problems encountered during operation and maintain records of all manufacturing steps and deviations in the work piece heading card during the process and save modified programs.
  • Addition to 8: or adjust machine controls when automatic programming is faulty or if machines malfunction.
  • Perform other tasks as assigned.

• High school diploma or GED, AND 2+ years of mechanical, maintenance, or machining trade school or equivalent Associate's degree, OR

• Intermediate knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and their applications.
• Basic ability to interpret Statistical Process Control (SPC) and operate scanning devices for system communications.
• Basic knowledge of manufacturing and production processes, raw materials, quality control, costs, and other techniques for maximizing the effective manufacturing of goods (Quality Alerts, Second Checks, etc.).
• Basic knowledge of OSHA safety requirements and the ability to use relevant information and individual judgment to determine whether events or processes comply with laws, regulations, or standards.
• Basic troubleshooting and problem-solving skills where problems are complex.
• Basic interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with other employees.
• Basic ability to interpret blueprints, build documents, schematic drawings, layouts, or other documents regarding engine assembly and testing.
• Basic organizational, planning, and follow-up skills and the ability to cope with stress.
• Basic oral and written communication skills.
• Basic reading, writing, and math skills.
• Ability to work any shift and overtime as required.
• Basic PC knowledge and the ability to efficiently operate computer terminals, tools, and devices.
• Ability to interpret knowledge of Rolls Royce America products, policies, and procedures preferred.
• Experience as a CNC milling cutter operator preferred.
• Ability to obtain appropriate hoists and power vehicle licenses (Flatbed, Hi-Lo, & Mule) when necessary preferred.
