3. Reads blueprints or other documentation to visualize parts to be machined. Checks initial parts including 1st article to exacting tolerances. Applies SPC principles and practices to production runs. Visually checks work in progress to assure proper functioning of equipment.

4. Troubleshoots or reworks any problems with machining or machines operated. Analyzes problems and takes corrective action within delegated authority. Demonstrates ingenuity in adapting tooling, condensing setups, making shop aids, etc. Repairs or modifies tools.

5. Provides necessary counts, processes documentation correctly, and maintains daily production logs using computer software applications or production worksheets. Keeps interim records for subassemblies, material, tooling, rework, etc. while in the cell. Operates computer terminals to input'data as required.

6. Works as an active team member by
participating in problem solving, team building, and all other team activities to improve the processes, productivity, quality, etc. of the
production operations in a cell. Uses interpersonal skills as well as good written and verbal
communications. Assists other cell members as
required

Equipment/Process Responsibilities - Performs duties where property,
tools, equipment,
or machines may be substantially damaged or substantial man hours lost through improper
operation and attention to processing. Sets-up and calibrates a minimum
of 2 Davenport machines for the jobs performed. Maintains and effects minor repairs of
machines. Davenports may have various spindle diameters from 3/16" to
3/4" and may be 5, 6, or 8 spindle bar or chucker machine.

Material or Product Responsibilities - Performs duties that require close
attention to work and supporting documentation specifications and other
requirements. Responsible for accuracy of parts machined. Visually and/or with
measuring instruments checks work performed for proper results, work is machined to exacting
tolerances. Parts machined include enconel, titanium, etc. where hardness
of part creates difficult machining responsibilities.

Responsibility for Work of Others - Accuracy of communication is
mandatory to
the successful production and qualification of workpieces per specifications.
Must communicate to appropriate personnel any problems or concerns regarding quality of
work received or time flow of work in progress as it affects production schedules.
Must be able to train employees of equal or lower classification in Davenport
bar or chucker machines set-up and operation on various spindle sizes as well
as on methods and procedures used by the Company in the production workflow and
tracking. Coordinate with engineering, supervision, quality and manufacturing
professional and managerial personnel regarding highly technical production machining matters.

Safety Responsibilities - Good housekeeping, knowledge of good
machining safety
is necessary. Adherence to Company Safety Rules is mandatory. Protective
equipment and clothing appropriate to the task at hand is required.
Initiative and Ingenuity - Requires considerable initiative in
solving problems associated with the set-up and operation of at least 2 Davenport
machines concurrently
to the highest levels of complexity and uses considerable ingenuity in adapting tooling
and shop aids to complete machining operations. Makes suggestions for improving
the efficiency of workflow or equipment operation. Takes on or reports
for additional work as current tasks are completed. Troubleshoots most
difficult machining problems. Performs other work related tasks as deemed necessary by Company
needs.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Environmental Surroundings - Work is in a machine shop environment
where noise,
temperature fluctuations, the repetitive nature of job, etc. are less desirable than in a
typical office environment. Considerable exposure to oils, dirt and other greasy
substances. Lighting is awkward at times.

finger and hand injuries and muscle strains. Awkward body positions are necessary
at times.
Exposure to metalworking fluids and airborne particles. Appropriate protective equipment and clothing are
required.

EFFORT

Physical - Able to lift up to 50 pounds. Requires
strength to adjust requisite equipment to set-up specifications. Hand and finger
manipulation. Able to reach, bend and stretch. Able to use tools required for machine
set-up which may be fatiguing and require extensive physical exertion for
extended periods of time. Capable of maneuvering between and operating at least 2
Davenport machines concurrently. Most job assignments require standing and/or sitting for
periods exceeding 15 minutes
at a time.

Mental -
Work is highly repetitive and monotonous. Set-up and/or machine repair may require
highly complex improvisation and ingenuity. Reasoning ability required to
interpret complex blueprints and documentation of a highly technical nature. Must be able
to draw valid conclusions from a variety of abstract and concrete variables.
Required to run at least 2 Davenport machines concurrently and be able to
organize work flow for best efficiency with minimal or no supervision or review.

Visual - Close attention to detail with moderate eye concentration over long periods of time.
Able to read various precision instruments such as micrometers, calipers, gauges,
etc. Must be able to visually check workpieces for quality. Requires Distance
vision, close vision, color vision, peripheral vision, and depth perception.

chucker machines. Generally equivalent to high school graduate with 2 years
technical school training or equivalent.

EXPERIENCE
Requires 3 years experience or equivalent skills and knowledge
expertise in the set-up and operation of Davenport bar or chucker machines, tools and equipment which are
similar or comparable to those used by the Company and which are necessary
