Job Description
We're looking for a skilled Wire EDM Machinist to run precision parts on a Mitsubishi MV 2400S . This role covers the full workflow from print to part: programming, setup, cut strategy selection, process optimization, and inspection. You'll work in a high-mix, low-volume environment where accuracy, surface finish, and repeatability are critical.
Key Responsibilities
- Set up, operate, and maintain a Mitsubishi MV 2400S Wire EDM to produce high-quality, high-precision components.
- Program and edit wire EDM jobs at the machine and/or using offline programming as applicable (cut conditions, skim strategies, and start hole planning).
- Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T to ensure parts meet dimensional and geometric requirements.
- Select and optimize wire type/diameter , power settings, flushing, and skim passes to hit tolerance and finish targets.
- Plan and execute challenging cuts including tight tolerances, fine features, sharp internal corners, and fragile geometries.
- Perform quality control inspections using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, pin gauges, optical comparator/CMM (as available).
- Troubleshoot issues such as wire breaks, unstable cuts, taper/straightness variation, poor finish, and dimensional drift.
- Work with engineering and production to improve fixturing, reduce cycle time, increase reliability, and prevent scrap.
- Track consumables and maintain machine condition (filters, dielectric system, wire path components) according to preventative maintenance schedules.
- Maintain a clean, safe work environment and follow all safety and operational standards.
- Support documentation of setups and repeat jobs (fixtures, notes, inspection plans) to improve repeatability.
Qualifications
- Proven experience as a Wire EDM Machinist , including setup and operation on Mitsubishi or similar machines.
- Strong ability to read and interpret prints, GD&T , and technical specifications.
- Solid understanding of EDM fundamentals: burn conditions, skims, flushing, wire selection, workholding, and material behavior.
- Comfortable troubleshooting process issues and making adjustments to consistently hit tolerance and finish.
- Skilled with precision measuring tools and inspection best practices.
- High attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality parts.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate with a team in a fast-paced shop environment.
- High-mix, low-volume experience is a plus.
