Build and Improve Specialized Metal-Forming Processes

Founded in 1957, Hialeah Metal Spinning (HMS) is a family-owned precision manufacturer serving aerospace,

defense, industrial, transportation, and commercial customers. Our capabilities include advanced CNC/PNC metal

spinning, deep drawing, fabrication, CNC machining, laser processing, and complex metal-forming operations. HMS

operates in an AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality environment and is ITAR registered.

Position Summary

The Senior CNC Metal Spinning Setup & Process Technician is a hands-on senior manufacturing role responsible for

setting up, operating, troubleshooting, and improving specialized CNC/PNC metal-spinning processes. This person

will work with tooling, programs, process parameters, drawings, inspection requirements, and production personnel

to produce complex formed components safely and consistently. A major part of the role is transferring knowledge:

developing repeatable processes and helping train the next generation of HMS spinning operators.

Key Responsibilities

 Set up and operate CNC/PNC metal-spinning machines for prototype and production work.

 Interpret engineering drawings, CAD information, specifications, tolerances, and inspection requirements.

 Select and install spinning tooling, rollers, mandrels, tailstock/support components, and related fixtures.

 Develop, prove out, document, and optimize spinning sequences and machine parameters for new and existing

parts.

 Evaluate material behavior during forming and make controlled adjustments to improve dimensional accuracy,

surface condition, cycle time, and repeatability.

 Troubleshoot forming issues such as wrinkling, thinning, cracking, springback, dimensional variation, tooling

marks, and process instability.

 Use micrometers, calipers, gauges, templates, and other inspection equipment to verify conformance.

 Work closely with Engineering, Quality, Tool Room, Maintenance, and Production to resolve manufacturing

problems.

 Maintain accurate production, setup, tooling, and process information in HMS systems and work instructions.

 Support preventive maintenance and basic troubleshooting of spinning equipment and promptly communicate

machine issues.

 Train and mentor CNC spinning operators and apprentices in safe setup, operation, inspection, and process

discipline.

 Support continuous-improvement efforts involving safety, quality, setup reduction, productivity, and tooling life.

What You Bring

 Substantial hands-on experience in metal spinning, spin forming, shear forming, flow forming, or a closely related

precision metal-forming process.

 Demonstrated experience setting up and operating CNC/PNC forming or turning equipment; CNC

programming/process-development experience strongly preferred.

 Strong understanding of tooling, workholding, machine setup, feeds/speeds/process parameters, and the

behavior of formed sheet metal.

 Ability to read complex mechanical drawings and apply dimensional tolerances and GD&T as required.

 Proficiency with precision measuring equipment and first-piece/process inspection.

 Strong mechanical aptitude, troubleshooting ability, and disciplined problem-solving skills.

 Ability to communicate process knowledge clearly and train less-experienced employees.

 Strong English reading, writing, and speaking skills for drawings, work instructions, documentation, and OEM

communication.

 Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a manufacturing team.

Preferred / Bonus Experience

 Experience with LEIFELD CNC/PNC metal-spinning equipment or comparable spinning machinery.

 Experience forming stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, nickel alloys, or other aerospace/industrial materials.

 Experience in AS9100, aerospace, defense, or other controlled manufacturing environments.

 Tool-and-die, manual machining, CNC turning, or forming-tool development experience.

 Spanish language skills.

What HMS Offers

 Competitive compensation based on experience and demonstrated skill level.

 Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.

 Paid vacation and holidays.

 401(k) with company match and performance-based bonus opportunities.

 Overtime opportunities based on production needs.

 A stable, family-owned manufacturing environment with opportunities to learn, grow, and advance.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

 Hands-on work in a manufacturing environment that is generally not air-conditioned and may include heat,

humidity, noise, fumes, airborne particles, and moving machinery.

 Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and work safely around industrial equipment for extended periods.

 Ability to lift and move up to 50 pounds when required, with reasonable accommodations available for qualified

individuals.

 Safety glasses and appropriate safety footwear/PPE are required.

The Ideal Candidate

You are an experienced metal-forming professional who can look at a drawing, tooling concept, material, and

machine and determine how to create a stable, repeatable process. You enjoy solving difficult forming problems,

improving existing jobs, and teaching others why the process works - not simply how to push the buttons.
