Job Responsibilities & Requirements
POSITION SUMMARY
Operate and set up CNC laser cutting equipment, robotic setting cells, and auxiliary manufacturing equipment to produce structural steel components that meet engineering specifications, dimensional requirements, and quality standards. Responsible for reading blueprints, verifying measurements, performing in-process inspections, maintaining tight tolerances, and accurately reporting production results. Supports continuous improvement, safety, quality, and productivity initiatives within the MBP manufacturing operation.
Reasonable Accommodations Statement
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
· Set up and operate CNC laser cutting equipment to process steel components and custom parts according to work orders, blueprints, and production schedules.
· Manufacture steel components from various material thicknesses while maintaining print specifications and required dimensional tolerances as specified on engineering drawings, including tolerances as tight as ±0.010" where applicable. Verify compliance through the use of precision measuring instruments and first-piece inspections.
· Set up, operate, monitor, and troubleshoot robotic welding cells to ensure weld quality and production efficiency.
· Read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, engineering drawings, bills of material (BOMs), routings, work instructions, and revision-controlled documents to ensure conformance with customer and engineering requirements.
· Perform dimensional inspections utilizing calipers, micrometers, height gauges, angle gauges, tape measures, and other precision measuring tools to verify compliance with engineering specifications.
· Inspect welded components for fit-up, weld size, penetration, appearance, distortion, and overall conformance to quality standards and engineering requirements.
· Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections to verify quality and compliance with specifications.
· Load, unload, and organize raw materials and finished products using forklifts and material handling equipment.
· Perform machine changeovers, tooling adjustments, and minor programming edits as necessary.
· Identify and report quality concerns, equipment malfunctions, tooling issues, and production abnormalities.
· Complete production reporting, quality documentation, and material transactions accurately.
· Support preventive maintenance activities on CNC laser systems, robotic welding equipment, and related machinery.
· Assist with lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement initiatives to improve safety, quality, and productivity.
· Attendance at work during the regularly scheduled shift is an essential duty. This includes but is not limited to the ability to work overtime as required, to be present at work, arrive on time and be at the workstation ready for work at the start of the shift.
