Job description

Shape precision parts that power what’s nextAt Alloy Precision Technologies, advanced manufacturing meets craftsmanship. Here, you’ll own the setup and day-to-day operation of Citizen Swiss machines to deliver exceptional quality, while growing your skills alongside a team that values clear communication, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.A day in the lifeYou start your shift with a quick review of the job traveler and blueprint. Bar stock is checked, tools are verified, and your Citizen L32 or L20 (Mitsubishi controls) is prepared for production. You dial in tool and work offsets, confirm longitudinal and diameter settings, and validate first-piece quality with mics, calipers, and a height gage. Throughout the run, you document results, make insert changes, and adjust offsets to keep the process in control. If a machine or process hiccup occurs, you communicate promptly and escalate as needed. Between jobs, you perform bar feed changeovers and contribute ideas that lift quality and throughput for the next run.What you’ll handleOwn the setup and operation of Citizen Swiss machines (L32/L20 with Mitsubishi controls)Apply sound machining practices and principles to stabilize productionInterpret blueprints and apply GD&T to in-process inspectionUse inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, height gage, and no-go gauges) to verify partsMake tool and wear offsets; set longitudinal and diameter valuesPerform tool changes and understand insert nomenclatureComplete bar feeder changeovers efficientlyEdit programs and perform setups (a plus)Follow documentation practices and communicate status or malfunctions to the right personHelp establish best practices that improve quality and machine outputAble to lift up to 75 lbs.What you bring5+ years of on-the-job CNC machining on Swiss-type equipment2+ years setting up CNC machinesComfort reading prints; working knowledge of GD&TExperience using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and no-go gaugesReading, comprehension, problem-solving, and math skills typical of 12th gradeTechnical college training in Machining is highly desirablePhysical requirementsStrong hand–eye coordinationMobility to bend, lift, and move between workstations; alternate sitting and standingLift objects up to 25 pounds throughout the dayPerform repetitive work beyond 8 hours per day and on weekends as neededRead fine print and distinguish colorsReach machine controls located five feet above the floorWear proper personal protective equipmentPersonal protective equipmentMust wear safety glasses and steel-toed boots.Supervisory responsibilitiesNone.Shifts and pay1st Shift: Monday–Friday, 7:00am–3:30pm; Overtime available on Saturdays2nd Shift: Monday–Thursday, 3:15pm–1:45am; Overtime available on Fridays and Saturdays; 10% Premium added to base ratePay is based on experience
