Jesse Navarro

Operated and maintained multi-axis CNC machines (DMG MORI, swiss machines,EDM, Mazak, Kuraki, etc.) to produce high-precision Multi million dollar aerospace components under stringent tolerance and AS9100 standards.

Served as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and technical resource, providing troubleshooting expertise and solutions for machining and process issues across multiple machine platforms, often researching independently when formal support was unavailable.

Proactively identified significant process inefficiencies, including reliance on tribal knowledge and gaps in standardization, stemming from diverse training experiences.

Initiated, developed, and submitted data-driven proposals (Process Change Requests) for process improvements that were subsequently implemented, contributing to enhanced operational efficiency and quality.

Created comprehensive operation guides, reference notes, and clarified process documents to improve understanding and performance among coworkers

Provided hands-on training and mentorship to multiple machinists on machine operation, safety protocols, inspection techniques (including Keyence systems), and 5S methodology ect...

Performed advanced dimensional inspection using a wide range of metrology equipment, including Keyence systems, surface plate work, optical comparators, micrometers, dental mold, shallow test gauges calipers, bore gauges, indicators, etc.., ensuring compliance with technical specifications.

Gained specialized experience in deburring precision aerospace components and designing/machining custom lapping tools for critical surface finishes and flatness.

Set up and operated CNC milling and lathe machines to produce finished parts.

Inspected finished parts by checking for defects to meet quality standards.

Acted as the mechanical designer for the shop, contributing design input and solutions.

Interpreted blueprints, engineering drawings, and applied GD&T principles.

Maintained tooling, fixtures, and machines for efficient production runs.

Collaborated with programmers to troubleshoot technical issues.

Performed in-process and final part inspections using micrometers, calipers, and gauges.
