-hired as an NC machinist (lathe)

-worked with manual hand measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, height gages, etc.

- worked to set up an emergency response team (medical and fire)

-attended training with "Behavioral Health Technologies" and taught that program to groups of employees concerning ways to address "at risk" behaviors in a work and home setting and discuss safety ways to be productive while being safe as well .

-operated tow motors while machinery was down or being worked on by maintenance.

-performed preventive maintenance on lathes, mills, drills on a weekly schedule

-hired as a quality technician (inspector)

-Programmed CMM inspection machine using PCDMIS software for tolerances as close as .0002" for our Nations' space program.

-assisted machinists in understanding blueprints and technical drawings and the requirements that they should machine parts too.

- worked closely with upper management in a plan to order raw stock, machine, inspect and ship the finished product to the customer on their time constraints.

- kept the quality inspection room tidy and temperature controlled to assure that the atmospheric conditions did not cause an "out of tolerance" event.

- set up a schedule to calibrate employee owned tools and gauges to verify customer requirements were being met using a quality standard of measurement throughout the shop.

-ordered proper tools and working gauges to assist machinists in manufacturing.

• Operated CNC machines to produce precision components, adhering to strict tolerances and specifications.
• Interpreted technical drawings and blueprints to determine machining processes and sequences.
• Conducted routine maintenance on machinery, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing downtime.
• Collaborated with engineering teams to troubleshoot manufacturing issues and implement solutions.
• Monitored production quality, performing inspections using calipers and gauges to ensure compliance with standards.
• Trained new machinists on equipment operation, safety protocols, and best practices in machining processes.
• Implemented process improvements that enhanced workflow efficiency and reduced waste in production operations.
• Developed standard operating procedures for machine setup and operation, promoting consistency across shifts.
• Inspected completed parts to verify compliance with specifications and quality standards.
• Read and interpreted blueprints, technical drawings and schematics to determine parts dimensions.
• Worked with team members to improve production processes and procedures.
• Supported team members in troubleshooting complex machine issues, sharing knowledge and expertise to resolve problems quickly.
• Assisted in training new machinists on company procedures, best practices, and safe operation of equipment.
• Achieved tight tolerances by carefully calibrating machines before beginning each job.
• Performed preventative maintenance on machines regularly to minimize downtime due to breakdowns or malfunctions.
• Collaborated with quality assurance team to resolve discrepancies and implement corrective actions for non-conforming parts.
• Trained on CMM programming using PCDmis software at Hexagon metrology in Brentwood, TN. The use of the CMM ensured strict tolerance control at each stage of the machining process and helped to quickly identify discrepancies to the manufacturing plan for the customer's requirements.
• Worked on the Safety committee as a emergency medical responder (certified EMR through the state of TN), where I was active in advising on safety protocol, emergency response, haz mat cleanup and purchasing proper emergency response equipment to respond to medical emergencies within our facility.
