Full Job Description

Description:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Assist in the design of CNC workholding fixtures (milling/turning/secondary ops) to improve part stability, repeatability, and throughput.
Create and maintain 2D/3D CAD models and drawings for fixtures, soft jaws, nests, clamps, and related tooling.
Collaborate with engineers, tool room machinists and CNC operators to review fixture concepts, incorporate feedback, and support build/debug.
Support fixture prove-outs on the shop floor; document results and implement revisions as needed.
Assist with process documentation including set-up sheets, work instructions, tooling lists, and basic process flow documentation.
Support continuous improvement efforts (cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, ergonomic/safety improvements) using structured problem-solving.
Participate in root cause analysis for fixture- or process-related quality issues (5-Why, fishbone) and help implement corrective actions.
Help standardize tooling/fixture components and support basic tooling inventory and identification practices.
Assist with engineering changes affecting fixturing, gaging, and process steps; update documentation accordingly.
Work cross-functionally with Quality and Inspection to ensure fixtures support print requirements and measurement strategy.
Follow all safety policies; support EHS requirements related to guarding, clamping forces, pinch points, and safe setup practices.

Requirements:

Required

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (0–2 years experience).
Basic understanding of machining concepts (turning/milling), fixturing fundamentals, and how workholding impacts quality.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, familiarity with basic GD&T concepts.
Working knowledge of CAD (SolidWorks preferred; equivalent acceptable).
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to be hands-on in a manufacturing environment.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel/Word).

Preferred

co-op in machining, tooling, or manufacturing engineering.
Exposure to fixture design principles: locating schemes (3-2-1), datum strategy, clamp methods, repeatability.
Familiarity with common shop measuring tools and concepts (calipers, micrometers, indicators).
Basic knowledge of machining process planning and tooling selection.
Experience with ERP/MRP systems or basic BOM/tool lists.

Key Competencies

Practical mechanical aptitude and curiosity
Clear communication with machinists/operators
Design-for-manufacturability mindset
Documentation discipline and follow-through
Structured problem-solving
Ability to prioritize and manage multiple requests

Work Environment / Physical Requirements

Combination of office and shop-floor work; PPE required.
Ability to stand/walk for extended periods and occasionally lift up to 25 lbs.
Will frequently support tool room builds and production prove-outs at machines.

What Success Looks Like (first 6–12 months)

Designs and releases simple fixtures with supervision, then progressively more complex workholding.
Builds strong relationships with tool room and operators; responds quickly to production needs.
Helps reduce setup time, improves repeatability, and contributes to scrap reduction through better workholding.

Tools/Software

SolidWorks (or similar CAD), basic CAM exposure a plus, Excel, and document control practices.

Compensation:

Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
PTO
