The ideal candidate has strong technical aptitude, hands-on manufacturing experience, and a working knowledge of software used to write or generate machine code. Key Responsibilities Perform minor machine maintenance and troubleshooting, including issues related to MD, IA Table, PCD, RIP, SAP, and label printing. Address both mechanical and software-related problems to ensure smooth machine operation. Identify root causes of various machine issues through close observation of equipment performance and detailed troubleshooting. Write machine code manually or use software (e.g., Salvagnini STREAM) to generate programs based on engineering drawings and CAD files. Adjust and optimize parametric programs for sheet metal mockups, ensuring all dimensions and bend angles are accurate based on part design requirements. Apply necessary angle corrections and adjust box dimensions to achieve precise part geometry while maintaining adherence to quality and design standards. Set up and load sheet metal materials into the machine, verifying alignment and tooling clearance before running production. Perform first-piece inspections to ensure part quality and compliance with specifications. Handle S4 tooling changes, track punch and die status by material thickness, and manage tooling inventory and safety stock. Maintain control of final part DLO (Dimensional Layout Output) for THP parts in full-release orders, ensuring all parts remain within specified tolerances. Program and operate Salvagnini P4 (panel bender) and S4 (punching/shearing) machines in accordance with production schedules and part specifications. Interpret blueprints, CAD models, and work orders to determine tooling and machine setup requirements. Train new and existing employees in proper operation and programming of Salvagnini equipment, including safety procedures, setup, and troubleshooting. Regularly inspect and verify labels on each machine output to ensure correct part identification and traceability. Document all machine- and program-related issues in the logbook, including the solutions applied, to ensure accurate records are maintained. Assist in ongoing machine performance evaluations to minimize downtime and improve operational efficiency. Perform thorough shift handovers by communicating all relevant machine status updates and job details to the next shift operator. Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized work area. Qualifications College diploma or equivalent; technical training or certification in CNC operation, mechanical technology, or related field preferred. Minimum of 2 years of experience operating and programming Salvagnini machines (P4/S4), or comparable automated CNC sheet metal equipment. Proficient in creating or editing machine code using proprietary or third-party software (e.g., STREAM). Ability to train and mentor operators and team members on Salvagnini systems and procedures. Strong knowledge of blueprint reading, and Data sheets for metal fabrication processes. Must know how to use a tape measure Strong math skills including the ability to convert fractions to decimals Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills. Excellent verbal and written communication skills Self-motivated, organized, and capable of working independently or in a team environment. Willingness to work flexible hours or shifts as needed.
