Jig and Fixture Builder Spec

Summary: This occupation requires planning the sequence of operations, layouts and construction of various types and sizes of jigs and fixtures used in the fabrication of parts and assemblies, including the fabrication of jigs and fixture for master tooling.  With an emphasis placed on designing complex tooling when furnished with only engineering drawings of the parts to be produced.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Under general supervision, must be able to perform a variety of job duties including, but not limited to:

• Plans sequence of operations, fabricates, builds and makes complete layout of all types of jigs and fixtures (including tool masters), involving compound angles where the establishment and coordination to exacting to tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points between several planes is required.
• Uses Engineering prints, loft information, tool design, drawings, tool sketches and verbal instructions.
• Must be capable of suggesting changes in design involving practicability, economy, and process manufacture to proper personnel.
• Makes decisions regarding fabrication and design detail parts such as fitting stops, locating pins and mechanical operation of jigs and submits them for approval to proper personnel.
• Lays out and fabricates from tool design and engineering prints and sketches for the construction of such jigs as sub-assembly and assembly jigs (including tool masters) involving coordination of tooling holes and reference points in parallel planes or planes at right angles and having compound angles and complex contours where the establishment and coordination to exacting tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points in several planes is required.
• Determines permanent or tooling reference points on jig and fixture structures using sight level and transits when required.
•  Performs the layout, fabrication assembly, rework and repair of jigs, fixtures and tool masters involving compound angles and complex contours where the establishment and coordination to exacting tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points in several planes is required.
• Performs rework, repair and other associated operations relating to the work described.
• Follow all Senior policies and procedure.
• Must have more Mill Specialist experience.
• Other duties as assigned.
