R&D Machinist

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: R&D MACHINIST

The primary responsibility of the R&D Machinist will be to program, set-up, and operate CNC machines to manufacture precision pump parts. An element of the job will be to participate in design reviews with engineering to develop manufacturing processes and documentation and execute prototyping of general and rotating machinery components in accordance with concept drawings. This will also apply to specialized service and assembly tooling for our equipment in service.

• Develop manufacturing processes for high precision, high-alloy machine components.
• Program, set-up, and operate precision mill and turn machinery to produce parts used in refueling stations and pumps.
• Interpret engineering drawings to ensure proper dimensions and specifications for parts.
• Program 3, 4, and 5 axis CNC mills and lathes with live tooling, or multi-spindle combination machines from 3D files and 2D schematics.
