About the role

The Toolmaker II is responsible for the fabrication, modification, and inspection of precision tools, fixtures, and components. This role involves performing advanced equipment setup and maintenance, using precision measurement tools, fabricating fixtures, and adhering to shop safety and best practices. The Toolmaker II will also be proficient in operating laser tracker equipment and associated software, performing dimensional measurements, and troubleshooting tooling issues.
