Qualifications

Ruland Manufacturing is looking for a CNC Setup Machinist to join a diverse manufacturing team that operates Haas, Brother, and RoboDrill CNC mills and lathes in a fast-paced production environment where programs are prewritten by engineering. The ideal team member must be willing to setup and/or operate three to six machines at a time while performing routine inspections, helping operators make in-depth mechanical adjustments, and identifying visual product defects. The CNC Setup Machinist must be comfortable working in a collaborative environment where results are measured, and performance is rewarded. Due to Ruland's fast growth the CNC Setup Machinist must be comfortable adapting to changes in technology, processes, and equipment. This person will train operators on new equipment and help them advance to setting up machines.

The primary responsibilities of the Machine Operator are operating equipment that has already been setup, performing routine inspections, operating manual lathes for secondary operations, making process recommendations and regularly reporting any issues with quality or safety, to the production supervisor. Success of the Machine Operator will be measured by productivity, scrap rate, average lead time, late orders, and compliance with process and safety standards. Team results are measured on a daily basis allowing for a transparent view of performance.

Ruland expects the CNC Setup Machinist to perform routine inspections to maintain our industry exceeding quality standards. Inspections are performed until consistency of the part setup has been established, when an operator has a quality issue they can not fix, and on a routine basis depending on workload. Ruland uses standard monitoring and measuring equipment as well as visual aids to ensure compliance with documented standards. Setup machinists must possess good math skills and the ability to program and mechanical adjustments to maintain quality.

Ruland is a high mix, small to medium run-size production environment with schedules that can change daily depending on customer orders and need. The CNC Setup Machinist must be flexible and willing to adapt to these changing schedules including giving input on if parts can be run that day. Strong organizational skills are required which include keeping a tidy work area, understanding of what parts are running on each machine, having blanks prepped to be run, and attention to detail with inspection sheets. To keep up with the demanding schedule the CNC Setup Machinist must be quick and efficient with changeovers, group setups, and prepare fixturing and tooling in advance of setup.

Ruland puts a high priority on keeping a safe work environment and is compliant with OSHA requirements. Safety recommendations are encouraged by all team members to prevent potential injury. Ruland celebrates safety milestones of no injuries with a company party.
