• Tooling: Select, assemble, and preset cutting tools. Load tools into the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and input tool offsets (length and diameter) into the CNC controller.
• Operation: Execute production runs, monitoring the machine for unusual noises, vibrations, or tool wear. Perform mid-program restarts and manual data input (MDI) as required.
• Quality Control: Inspect first-off and production parts using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, bore gages, and CMM reports) to ensure adherence to tight tolerances.
• Maintenance: Perform daily preventative maintenance, including checking coolant levels, lubricating ways, and clearing chips from the FH800’s high-capacity chip conveyor system.
• Process Improvement: Collaborate with programming and engineering teams to optimize feed rates, speeds, and cycle times for improved throughput.

Who You Are:

• You quickly and decisively act in fact-changing, unexpected situations. You adjust communication content and style to meet the needs of diverse collaborators.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• 3+ years of Toyoda Experience: Proven experience operating and setting up Toyoda FH-series machines or similar heavy-duty HMCs.
• Control Systems: Proficiency in Fanuc 31i-Model B or similar Toyoda-specific CNC controls. Ability to read and edit G-code and M-code.
• Blueprints: Advanced ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols.
• Metrology: Expert use of manual inspection tools and an understanding of surface finish requirements.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to handle large workpieces and perform setups involving heavy lifting (within safety limits) and overhead crane operation for loading pallets.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Problem Solver: Ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues or programming errors on the fly.
• Safety Conscious: Strict adherence to PPE requirements and machine guarding protocols.
