Description
We're looking to get some advice from an experienced machinist to help us better understand the milling process. We'd love to set up a weekly video call (about 2–3 hours each) where we can review CAD drawings together and chat about the best way to mill each part. On these calls, you'll share not only your go-to method but also why you choose that approach—what about the geometry or features influences your decision. Your insights on different milling techniques would really help us refine our processes. You don't need to know all axis milling operations, but at least many of them.
Key Responsibilities:
CAD Analysis & Strategy:
Review CAD drawings of parts requiring milling.
Advise on the optimal milling technique (e.g., 4-axis, 3-axis, or 2.5-axis milling) based on part complexity and material.
Be able to explain what about the feature's geometry is why you would choose one milling strategy over another
Process Insights:
Estimate setup and production times for various milling processes.
Provide expert guidance on material handling and machining strategies.
Nice-to-have
Assist in identifying the appropriate type and size of drill based on part features.
You not only know which is best type and size of drill, but you can also give insight on why it's the best option
Qualifications:
Machining Experience:
Minimum of 3 years working as a Milling Machinist in a job shop or a similar environment.
Proven expertise working with a diverse range of metal materials.
CNC Programming:
Hands-on experience in programming parts for CNC milling machines, with a solid understanding of machining operations and G-code.
