Position Summary

The Tool & Die Maker at the Beaver Dam facility plays a critical, highly autonomous role in supporting the production of alternators through expert-level tooling, machine troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. This position is responsible for diagnosing and resolving complex issues on proprietary manufacturing equipment, often where documentation is limited or non-existent. The role requires the ability to independently redesign, modify, and improve machine assemblies, tooling, and components to enhance reliability, quality, and throughput. The Tool & Die Maker is expected to operate as a technical authority within the facility, driving improvements with minimal direction and strong ownership of outcomes.

Core Responsibilities

Proprietary Equipment & Tooling Support (Primary)

Build, repair, modify, and maintain dies, fixtures, gauges, jigs, and specialized tooling used in alternator manufacturing
Troubleshoot highly complex, proprietary machinery and custom-built equipment unique to Generac operations
Diagnose root causes related to alignment, tolerance stack-up, wear, vibration, heat, and mechanical interaction
Independently redesign and rework machine assemblies or components when standard repairs are insufficient
Perform precision fitting, grinding, machining, and hand work to extremely tight tolerances

Machining & Fabrication Expertise

Operate manual and CNC machining equipment including mills, lathes, grinders
Manufacture replacement parts and custom components using prints, sketches, measurements, or reverse engineering
Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, and engineering intent to ensure functional accuracy

Continuous Improvement & Technical Ownership

Take full ownership of tooling and machine performance within assigned manufacturing areas
Proactively identify chronic equipment issues and lead permanent corrective actions
Design and implement improvements that increase uptime, reduce scrap, and improve process stability
Challenge existing designs and processes, proposing innovative mechanical solutions without reliance on external support
Support new product introductions and process changes by designing or modifying tooling and machine components
Provide expert-level guidance to Maintenance, Engineering, and Production when complex mechanical decisions are required

Safety, Documentation & Collaboration

Adhere to all safety standards including machine guarding, LOTO, and toolroom best practices
Document tool modifications, machine changes, and improvement actions to support long-term reliability
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to align improvements with process intent and production goals
Mentor and support skill development within the toolroom and broader operations team

Required Qualifications

High School Diploma or GED
5+ years of Tool & Die Maker, toolroom, or precision machining experience in a manufacturing environment
Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot complex mechanical systems and proprietary equipment
Proven capability to redesign and fabricate machine components with little or no assistance
Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills

Preferred Qualifications

Journeyman Tool & Die Maker certification or completed apprenticeship
Experience supporting alternator, motor, or other rotating equipment manufacturing
Background in automated or semi-automated assembly processes
Demonstrated leadership in continuous improvement or equipment reliability initiatives

Physical & Work Environment Requirements

Ability to stand, bend, reach, and work at machines for extended periods
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and handle precision components safely
Comfortable working around machining equipment, rotating machinery, oils, coolants, and metal chips

What Success Looks Like at Beaver Dam

Proprietary alternator production equipment operates with high reliability and repeatability
Chronic tooling and machine issues are eliminated through effective redesign, not temporary fixes
Continuous improvement efforts result in measurable gains in uptime, quality, and throughput
The Tool & Die Maker is trusted as a primary technical problem-solver and improvement leader

Physical Demands: While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to talk and hear; and use hands to manipulate objects or controls. The employee is regularly required to stand and walk. On occasion the incumbent may be required to stoop, bend or reach above the shoulders. The employee must occasionally lift up to 25 - 50 pounds. Specific conditions of this job are typical of frequent and continuous computer-based work requiring periods of sitting, close vision and ability to adjust focus. Occasional travel.
