Essential Duties And Responsibilities

Program and optimize CNC Router operations for sheet plastic materials including Acrylic, Polycarbonate, HDPE, UHMW-PE, PVC, and ABS.
Develop and maintain CAM programs using Alphacam and/or Cimatron for 2D and 3D routing operations.
Read, interpret, and create mechanical drawings using 2D/3D CAD software (SolidWorks).
Design and develop jigs, fixtures, and vacuum hold-down systems specific to sheet plastic routing.
Contribute to on-quality, on-time, and on-cost objectives of production.
Define and optimize cutting parameters (feed rates, spindle speeds, depth of cut) for various plastic substrates to minimize melting, chipping, and burr formation.
Write and maintain Standard Operating Procedures / Work Instructions (SOP/WI) for CNC Router processes.
Train operators on machine setup, program loading, and safe operation of CNC Routers.
Participate in and lead troubleshooting for production issues; identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
Ensure periodical achievement of Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA).
Verify quality of finished parts using appropriate measuring equipment (calipers, micrometers, CMM as needed).
Interface with contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders for tooling, material, and process improvements.
Identify opportunities for process optimization, waste reduction, and continuous improvement.
Support new product introduction (NPI) from development stage through to mass production.
Perform other related duties as required.
