Overview
NASA Ames and Astrion is looking for skilled Machinists experienced across a range of skills that ensure the accuracy and quality of work. Possess problem-solving, time management and communication, and technical skills, such as programming and technical knowledge of machines
Individuals develop foundational skills and gain experience. A machine operator learning set up and run of CNC machines, interpreting blueprints, specifications and shop travelers. Can perform routine maintenance tasks.
Education
The minimum educational requirement for a machinist is typically a high school diploma or GED. However, post-secondary education, such as apprenticeships, certificate programs, or associate degrees in precision machining, is often preferred
Certifications
Certifications from recognized bodies, such as the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS), can be advantageous. These certifications demonstrate a machinist's proficiency and can enhance career advancement opportunities.
Candidate should possess:
Computer numerical control programming
Computer numerical control (CNC) programming skills means knowing how to operate CNC machines. These are computer-operated machines that use preprogrammed directions to cut pieces from a block of material. As a machinist, it is important to be skilled in operating, programming and upgrading CNC machines for effective operation and design
CNC Machinist
Computer numeric controlled (CNC) machines are critical in the operations of the manufacturing industry. These machines cut, shape and finish raw materials into finished products, and they require the input and skills of CNC machinists to operate optimally. If you have a strong desire to work in technology and design and have a passion for precision and complex tasks, a career as a CNC machinist could be the right path for you. In this article, we will discuss what a CNC machinist does, the steps to become one and the average salary and job outlook for CNC machinists.
Milling
Milling is one of the most common duties for machinists. Machinists utilize and maintain milling machines as the primary tool for producing metal, aluminum, steel and plastic parts. Having experience and skills in the operation, supervision and maintenance of milling machines is necessary for the role of a machinist.
Necessary Qualifications:
Safety and precision
Calibration of Equipment
Use of High-Quality Cutting Tools
Implementation of Proper Work holding Techniques
adherence to OSHA Regulations
