I have worked at Automatic Valve Nuclear for under 4 years, making parts for nuclear power plant valves. My main role was as a CNC machinist, setting up and operating machines such as Haas UMC-750, VF-4, and ST-30Y. Toward the end I took on another role, as material handler, receiving raw materials and cutting them to length to go on the machines, and taking into account what material we needed and what material we had, for the next upcoming jobs, and relaying the required information to my manager.

• Utilized CAM software to generate tool paths and optimize cutting strategies for complex parts • Performed machine set-up, including loading materials, installing fixtures, and calibrating tools • Developed and implemented CNC programs for machining operations, ensuring efficient production processes • Troubleshot program errors or machine malfunctions to identify root causes and implement corrective actions
