Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled NC Punch Operator to join our manufacturing team for the swing shift.

Job Title: NC Punch Operator

Department: Punch

Reports To: Punch Department Lead

ROLE:

Mostly you’ll be setting-up and running our EMK and Acies. Occasionally you’ll setup and run our Vipros and Pegas. Since we have loading towers on much of our equipment, our operators often run multiple machines at once. You’ll setup the machines, sharpen tools when needed, verify the programs are correct, and adhere to our quality policies to ensure the parts you make are good.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Safely, efficiently, and effectively setup and operate our NC punches
  • Follow setup sheets and help revise old ones or generate new ones when needed
  • Produce good parts on-time. You are responsible for the quality of every part you produce
  • Interact with our ERP system correctly (punching in and out of jobs)
  • As with all that work at Inland, help your fellow departments when they get in trouble

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

  • 3 years’ experience as an NC operator and able to setup and run EMKs or machines like them
  • Familiar with Virtek laser inspection systems
  • Must be able to read and follow blueprints/drawings
  • Must be able to properly use relevant inspection equipment such as calipers and height gages.
  • Physical strength to repeatedly lift and carry 25 lbs.
  • Laser and/or waterjet experience a strong plus

ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND CULTURE:

We are a $40MM job shop/contract manufacturer established in 1964 that serves the ruthless and uncompromising high-tech Bay Area customer by providing everything they want when they want it. Manufacturing parts in one of the most expensive locations in the country for some of the most demanding customers in existence is not easy. Boring widget shop we are not. We need good, dedicated, engaged team members to keep the dream alive. Apply if that sounds like you.
