Job description

We’re hiring an experienced CNC Lathe / Mill-Turn Machinist to join a growing precision manufacturing operation in Horsham, PA.

This is a senior-level, hands-on machining role for someone who can do significantly more than load parts and run an established cycle. We’re looking for a machinist who can own jobs from setup through finished part — interpreting prints and GD&T, selecting tooling and workholding, setting up equipment, making program and process adjustments, troubleshooting issues, and verifying that parts meet tight tolerance requirements.

You’ll work in a new, state-of-the‑art facility producing complex, high-precision components using advanced CNC equipment.

What You’ll Do:

• Set up and operate CNC lathes, mills, and mill-turn equipment
• Perform complex setups independently and take jobs from setup through production
• Make CNC program edits and adjustments at the machine as needed
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, CAD models, and GD&T
• Select appropriate cutting tools, inserts, workholding, fixtures, speeds, and feeds
• Troubleshoot tooling, setup, dimensional, and machining issues
• Perform first-piece and in-process inspection using calipers, micrometers, and other precision measuring equipment
• Make offsets and process adjustments to maintain tight tolerances
• Monitor machine performance and identify potential quality or process problems before they impact production
• Support development of improved machining methods, tooling, fixturing, and processes
• Document production and quality information accurately
• Maintain a clean, organized 5S manufacturing environment
• Take ownership of assigned work from initial setup through completed parts

• 6+ years of CNC machining experience
• Strong background with CNC lathes and/or mill-turn equipment
• Ability to independently set up and run complex CNC jobs
• Experience programming, editing, or making program adjustments at the machine
• Strong understanding of GD&T and blueprint interpretation
• Experience machining complex, tight-tolerance components
• Strong knowledge of tooling, workholding, fixturing, speeds, feeds, and machining processes
• Comfortable using calipers, micrometers, and other precision inspection equipment
• Ability to diagnose machining problems and make adjustments without requiring significant supervision

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k
• PTO
