Gleason Corporation is a leader in gear technology, seeking Machinists with a wide range of experience for 2nd Shift openings. Excellent learning opportunities are available for candidates just beginning their career in Advanced Manufacturing as well as Precision Machinist jobs for those candidates with the highest level of experience.
Requirements
- Set up and operate a variety of conventional and/or CNC machine tools to produce precision parts and/or instruments.
- Read and interpret blueprints, program readouts, and technical directives to determine and obtain materials and cutting tools for the job.
- Complete basic machine set ups.
- Follow detailed instructions concerning the location of necessary dimensions on blueprints, sequence of machine operations, machine feeds and speeds, tools to be used, alignment processes, and predetermined machined dimensions.
- Use measuring instruments such as internal and external micrometers, vernier height and depth gages, indicators, scales, and various standard or preset snap, plug, bore, or ring gages to achieve and maintain critical dimensions and tolerances during the machining process.
- Operate CNC machine tools when the required manual input includes changes in coolant flow, increases or decreases in speeds and feeds, or stops are programmed for dimensional checks or minor adjustments.
- Edit a CNC program to ensure the part meets the drawing specifications.
- Provide training to Machinist Level I on basic to intermediate machining processes.
- Setup, operate and debug programs on a variety of CNC machine tools.
- Understand a variety of machine controls and able to make necessary manual inputs to insure accurate dimensional tolerances are achieved.
- Establish needed dimensions such as those required for chasing threads or machining angular surfaces; locating and marking surfaces and angles to be machined, locating reference points, or performing other layout work necessary to facilitate accurate job setups on a variety of conventional or CNC machine tools.
- Manufacture an entire item, carrying out all machining operations necessary for completion, and performing precision handwork such as filing, scraping and lapping to fit, assemble, and finish machined parts.
- Use special or improvised tools, fixtures, and setups to machine unusual surface configurations such as curved surfaces requiring machine feeds in different planes simultaneously; surfaces having closely interrelated dimensions; or surfaces having unusual or compound angular relationships.
- Read existing CNC programs line by line during the machining operation to predict and correct potential process failures before they occur resulting in a machine collision and damage to machine tooling or part.
- Recommend changes to CNC machine tool programs on deficiencies noted; and to coordinate directly with the parts programmer or toolmaker.
- Critique part designs and make recommendations for design modifications to part features.
- Advanced knowledge of software, machining sequence, processing time, inspection requirements and operations of CNC machines to help engineering personnel develop software to complement equipment specifications and procurement.
- Skill in performing work assignments requiring untried tasks or procedures such as machining rare metals, or new metal alloys.
- Subject matter expert in a broad spectrum of machine tools.
- Provide training and assist others with the most complex machining processes, programming edits and problem solving.
Benefits
- 6% Company 401(k) match
- Flexible 4-day work week options available in some departments
- New York State Apprenticeship Program
- Shift premiums for 2nd and 3rd shift schedules
