Job Description

Make precision happen

If you thrive in a clean, lean, and safety-first shop and enjoy moving between CNC and manual machines, this role lets you build and modify tooling and parts that keep production humming.

What you'll do

Set up, adjust, and run mills and lathes (CNC and manual) to produce and refine precision components and tooling.
Translate prints, sketches, and verbal guidance into machining plans; choose materials, holders, and cutters accordingly.
Operate drill presses, sanders, grinders, and support equipment to complete features efficiently.
Verify tolerances using micrometers (standard and depth), inside diameter and outside diameter gauges, and other metrology.
Apply shop math to calculate dimensions; tune speeds / feeds to hit surface finish and tolerance goals.
Maintain a 5S work area; rigorously follow lockout / tagout and safe work practices—comfortable working independently when needed.
Partner with engineering and direct labor teams; recommend safer, faster, and more cost-effective tooling solutions.
Monitor machine health and troubleshoot operating issues; keep equipment running correctly.
Order raw materials and log work within the ERP system.
Pitch in on related tasks as business needs evolve.

What you bring

1–3 years of machining experience required; job shop and CNC exposure preferred. AAS in an engineering field or formal schooling is a plus.

Ability to read and interpret blueprints and sketches; proven record of holding tight tolerances.

Proficiency with CNC tooling and manual machining; experience with CAD / CAM software.

Knowledge of tooling technology, speeds / feeds, and operation monitoring (gauges / dials).

Hands-on, team-oriented approach; strong initiative and communication skills.

Math proficiency and comfort with MS Office; ERP experience to requisition material.

Understanding of lockout / tagout requirements and safe setup practices.

Physical demands
