Clem Steidinger

Monitor performance and generated reports detailing quality of product and defect rates.

Create CMM programs to inspect the parts we program. Evaluate if tooling will hold up in production environments or if process changes need to take place.

Oversee operations of new and on-going part processes. Work with customer's Mechanical Engineers to reduce manufacturing costs, reduce lead times, and improve quality control. Address process issues on shop floor to fix problems with tooling, work-holding, machine quality, and operator errors. Often work with Quality Control department to do Corrective Action Reports on findings.

Also oversee "New Technology" department to implement CMM arms/scanners, robotic arms, and new cutting tool techniques. Am often required to travel to training seminars and manufacturing technology shows to stay up to date in this field.

Create CNC programs for both new product introduction and high production machining on wide scope of machines. This involves sourcing out tooling to machine large one-off parts, down to low-cost production runs. Wide range of materials machined, both ferrous and non-ferrous.

Design, build, and implement tooling and work-holding solutions into our manufacturing shop. This involves use of machines such as mills, lathes, grinders, abrasive waterjets, and CNC plasmas. Heavy use of manual machines, requiring machining principals such as chip-breakers and different tooling rakes for spindles with low horsepower. Also learned to be fluent in Solidworks and 3D models.

Wired buildings under new construction. Trenched in underground circuits as well as all electrical in buildings from rough-in stage to final trim-out. Worked with team to troubleshoot issues and hit deadlines.
