Why join Team Penske?

Team Penske is seeking a CNC Multi-Axis Machinist to manufacture precision components supporting its NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA racing programs.

This is an opportunity to apply your machining skills in a performance-driven environment where accuracy, quality, and speed all matter. You will work with advanced Mazak 4- and 5-axis machining centers and mill-turn equipment, taking jobs from engineering drawings and CAD data through setup, programming, machining, and inspection.

This is not a production operator position. Machinists are expected to think through each job, select tooling and workholding, program or edit at the machine, design fixtures, solve machining challenges, and take personal ownership of the finished component.

For an experienced setup machinist who enjoys complex parts, advanced equipment, and high-mix work, Team Penske offers the chance to contribute directly to some of the most recognized racing programs in North America.

What you’ll be doing

• Set up, program, prove out, and operate 4- and 5-axis CNC machines

• Load and edit EIA programs as required
• Determine workholding, toolholding, and cutting-tool requirements
• Assemble toolholders and set tools using a presetter
• Design and manufacture fixtures and custom workholding
• Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring instruments
• Anticipate tooling and material needs and coordinate orders with your supervisor
• Operate manual machines, saws, and other conventional equipment when needed
• Maintain accurate setup sheets and manufacturing information
• Complete preventive maintenance and assist with equipment repairs
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Take ownership of part quality, accuracy, and on-time completion

Machines, controls & inspection equipment

Team Penske operates a Mazak-focused CNC machine shop. Equipment includes:

• Mazak Variaxis i-700

• 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centers
• CNC mill-turn equipment
• Mazak Smooth controls
• Mazatrol conversational programming
• Manual machining equipment and saws
• Tool presetters
• Digital and analog precision measuring instruments

Shop highlights

• Precision components for NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA
• Mazak-focused CNC machine shop
• Advanced 4- and 5-axis machining
• Integrex mill-turn equipment
• Prototype and high-mix, low-volume work
• Programming and editing at the machine
• Fixture and workholding design
• Ownership from job planning through inspection
• Fast-paced, performance-driven environment
• Opportunities to expand your multi-axis machining skills
