Day to Day

A Research institute specializing in Aviation is looking for a full scope programmer/machinist for a 4 month contract to join their team of 4 machinists in Boulder, CO. The CNC Machinist/Programmer will play a vital role in the research and development of prototype manufactured parts for use in the modification of aircraft. They will use precision machinery, advanced machining techniques, and a variety of materials to program, setup, operate, and QA parts. Responsibilities include working directly with Engineers to interpret CAD drawings, sketches, and documentation to determine the most effective approach to turn the idea into a reality. They will then Program using GibbsCAM, and design both Jigs/Fixtures as well as the end part. Following the programming, they will be responsible for full setup of Mills/Lathes and Quality checks of parts using micrometers, calipers, and CMM. Candidates will need to understand the full scope of Programming through Quality, and be comfortable working in a prototype, quality over quantity environment.

While this is set out to be a 4 month contract, this is a great way to get your foot in the door with an institute that occasionally offers full time employment to great machinists. There is a possibility for the contract to extend longer than 4 months. This opportunity is a great way to build your understanding of prototype machining as a respected member of a team, and work directly with Engineers at an advisory capacity.

Must Have

• Experience with full scope Prototype CNC part creation including:
• 2+ years of CNC Programming in CAM software (GibbsCAM Preferred)
• 5+ years of experience doing full setups of CNC Mill and Lathe
• Experience proving programs, preferably your own creation
• Strong Communication/collaboration skills

Plusses

• Experience working directly with engineering to R&D Prototype Parts
• Experience with Sheet Metal fabrication tools (Brake Press, Punch press, Sheers)
• Experience with Welding
