Frequently asked questions
Precision is critical for a Platinum EDM Machinist, especially on the 2nd shift where tight tolerances are standard for medical device components. Operators need sharp skills in blueprint reading and measurement tools to maintain quality, ensuring every part meets stringent specifications during overnight production cycles.
Advancement may include roles like EDM programming specialist, shift lead, or quality control technician. Gaining expertise in troubleshooting and setup on EDM machines can open doors to supervisory positions, especially valuable during 2nd shift when operational continuity is essential.
Success hinges on strong math aptitude, mastery of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and experience with precision tools like micrometers. The 2nd shift demands self-reliance and meticulousness to uphold quality standards without immediate supervisory presence.
RMS leverages the 2nd shift machinists to sustain continuous production of high-precision medical implants. This role is pivotal in meeting tight schedules and quality benchmarks, contributing directly to the company’s reputation within the Cretex Medical family.
RMS combines advanced EDM technology with comprehensive employee benefits and a supportive culture including onsite clinics and training. The 2nd shift role here uniquely balances demanding technical work with incentives like shift differentials and sign-on bonuses.
The hourly wage spans from $20.38 up to $35.72, reflecting experience and skill level. This competitive pay aligns with industry standards for medical machining jobs in Coon Rapids, factoring in shift differentials and potential bonuses.
Certifications in CNC machining and knowledge of OSHA chemical safety standards are highly valued here. Local employers prioritize machinists familiar with medical device manufacturing protocols and those who understand Minnesota’s regulatory environment.
Working 3:30pm to 3:30am allows for quieter commute times and daytime availability for personal activities. However, adapting to overnight hours demands good sleep hygiene and planning, which many find manageable with steady shift routines.
This role requires advanced skills in EDM machine operation, precision measurements, and blueprint interpretation, unlike entry-level jobs that focus more on basic machine handling. The 2nd shift role also involves higher responsibility in maintenance and quality control.
RMS offers comprehensive onsite medical services and routine safety testing to mitigate chemical exposure risks. They also provide ongoing training and wellness programs designed to sustain health and productivity during long 2nd shift periods.
