Description
EDM Cell Operator (Aerospace Manufacturing)
Step into a precision-driven day where your focus and craftsmanship shape mission-critical components. From the moment you review the traveler to your end‑of‑shift handoff, you’ll orchestrate multiple machines, pore over part drawings, and capture data that keeps production on spec and on time.
A Day in the Role
You begin by checking the schedule and travelers, confirming tooling and materials. You set up electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment, load parts, and verify offsets. Between cycles you inspect features using micrometers and dial calipers, update inspection gauges, and record results. You’ll switch jobs as priorities change, complete minor preventive maintenance, and keep your work area spotless using 5S. Throughout the shift, you track material usage, scrap, and corrective actions, and you log everything clearly—travelers, production records, and non‑conformance forms—while adhering to AS9100 and related quality standards. Collaboration is constant: you support team goals and continuous improvement, then close the day with accurate documentation and a clean, organized station.
