• Machine a variety of metals, primarily carbon steel and low-alloy steels, stainless steel, aluminum and brasses, nickel-based and titanium alloys, as well as common industrial plastics such as HDPE and epoxy-based composites
• Verify that all material is properly marked for traceability throughout the preparation process and storage
• Perform accurate inspections and verifications of machined specimens using basic Quality Control measuring tools, record findings, and report to the Quality Manager any conditions observed during sample preparation that might produce an out-of-tolerance specimen
• Manage and maintain equipment, tools, and supplies in the machine shop, including in-house calibrations as needed
• Maintain safe machining practices by adhering to industry norms for the craft and internal safety policies and procedures

• Ability to program, set up, and operate a CNC lathe
• Knowledge of the machining properties of various metals and plastics
• Previous work experience in an ISO 17025 machine shop a plus.
