Perform hands-on operation and programming of CNC milling machines.
Perform hands-on milling and drilling operations.
Operate and program Wire EDM machines.
Operate and program Spark EDM machines.
Design and prepare EDM electrodes.
Supervise and participate directly in mold machining and manufacturing.
Perform dimensional checks during machining.
Ensure required tolerances, fits, surface finish, and mold accuracy.
Supervise and participate in mold fitting and assembly.
Perform mold trials on injection molding machines.
Analyze trial results and solve mold defects.
Modify molds based on trial results and production requirements.
Perform mold repairs, maintenance, and engineering modifications.
Troubleshoot machining, mold, and injection-related problems.
Improve machining cycle times and mold manufacturing efficiency.
Reduce tooling costs and manufacturing lead times.
Coordinate with production, quality, maintenance, and injection molding teams.
