This person will raise the bar on product quality and fabrication efficiency through smarts and creativity and they’ll help to build a healthy, creative, and inspiring workplace.
It’s early in the development of the business and we’re looking for someone to be an integral part in bringing the vision life. You won't be a cog in a machine; you'll be central to how our products get made and how the company evolves.
Seaworthy’s flagship workshop & design office is located in the historic maritime district of Ballard.
Responsibilities
• Generate & optimize 3D cutting paths using Fusion360
• Operate CNC routers to machine hardwoods to tight tolerances (other materials as well: solid-surface, cork, metal, etc)
• Machine complex 3D forms, detailed v-carve inlays, and 4th Axis parts
• Develop tooling and jigs for material holding and for other needs in the shop
• Perform machine maintenance, calibration, and basic troubleshooting
• Manage materials efficiently - part nesting, waste reduction, and stock tracking
• Work with the broader team to flag design issues that affect machinability or yield
• Work closely with the owner on production planning, scheduling, & priorities
• Sanding and finishing of CNC machined parts as needed
• Since we are a small team, collaborating with and assisting other members of the crew with their tasks when needed is critical
Requirements
• Hands-on experience operating a CNC router - professional or serious hobbyist backgrounds both welcome
• Working knowledge of at least one CAM platform for generating and editing toolpaths (Ideally Fusion360)
• Woodshop skills - you’ll need to prepare stock for machining and post-process the parts when necessary
• A detail-oriented personality - quality isn't negotiable
• Organized & steady under pressure - even when juggling multiple tasks
• A self-starter - anticipate what needs to be done & do it
Compensation
• Part-time to start, with hours growing alongside production volume
• Pay will be based on experience - the priority is to find the right person and build the role and pay rate around their skills
