Job description
You know when a setup is right. You know when a cut doesn’t sound right. And you know that a few thousandths can be the difference between a finished part and scrap.
to join our manufacturing team in Euclid, Ohio. In this role, you’ll set up and operate CNC equipment to machine precision components from specialized materials. You’ll work from blueprints and technical specifications, prepare tooling, set up fixtures and workpieces, machine first articles, make offsets and adjustments, and inspect your work to make sure every part meets requirements.
The underlying role requires hands‑on CNC setup and operation across machining functions including turning, cutting, drilling, reaming, and boring. This is an experienced machining position for someone who understands the entire process—not just how to start the machine.
Your hourly wage is just the beginning. Elmet offers competitive pay, bonuses, benefits, and opportunities to grow.
- $22–$27 per hour
- $250 perfect-attendance bonus every month — up to $3,000 per year
- Quarterly production bonus of up to 9%, based on company performance
- 4% company match on retirement savings
- Benefits starting Day One
- Three medical plan options
- Dental and vision coverage
- Company-paid life insurance
- Company-paid short-term and long-term disability
- Paid time off
- Paid company holidays
- Tuition assistance
- $2,500 employee referral bonus
- Internal growth opportunities
As a CNC Lathe Machinist, you’ll be responsible for taking work from setup through machining and inspection. You’ll:
- Read and interpret blueprints, routing sheets, sketches, and technical specifications
- Determine tooling requirements, setup procedures, control settings, and machining sequences
- Prepare and preset tools for CNC equipment
- Set up CNC lathes for turning and related machining operations
- Mount, align, and secure fixtures, tooling, attachments, and workpieces
- Assemble cutting tools and position tool holders in machine turrets
- Retrieve and load preprogrammed machining instructions
- Calculate and set machine controls and key process variables
- Verify setups against required dimensions, depths, angles, tolerances, and specifications
- Machine first-article parts for inspection and quality approval
- Monitor machine operation throughout the production process
- Perform tool changes and make offsets and adjustments to maintain specifications
- Make minor adjustments to preprogrammed instructions when needed to meet product requirements
- Perform manual machine functions when necessary
- Recognize programming, tooling, or equipment problems and work with supervisors or programming personnel to resolve them
- Inspect finished work using precision measuring and inspection equipment
- Maintain machines, tooling, and work areas according to established safety and quality standards
The source role specifically gives the machinist responsibility for tooling and fixture setup, first-article machining, tool changes, offsets, minor program adjustments, and responding to machine or programming problems.
This isn’t an entry-level machine operator role. We’re looking for someone who already has a strong CNC machining foundation.
You could be a great fit if you:
- Have a high school diploma, vocational school diploma, or GED
- Have significant hands‑on CNC machining experience
- Have experience setting up and operating CNC lathes
- Can read and interpret complex blueprints and layouts
- Understand machining tolerances and specifications
- Understand tooling, fixtures, offsets, and machining processes
- Can use micrometers, dial calipers, dial indicators, optical comparators, and other precision inspection equipment
- Can recognize when a machining process is moving out of specification
- Can make appropriate tooling, offset, or machine adjustments
- Are comfortable working with computer‑controlled manufacturing equipment
- Can troubleshoot problems rather than simply stopping when something goes wrong
- Take safety, quality, and precision seriously
The existing job description specifies five to seven years of CNC machining experience and requires competency in blueprint interpretation, tolerances, precision measurement, and machine operation and maintenance.
Experience with any of the following can help you hit the ground running:
- FANUC controls
- HAAS controls
- OKUMA controls
- CAD/CAM software
- CNC turning
- Multi-axis machining
- First‑article machining and inspection
- Precision measurement
- Complex blueprint interpretation
- Tool setup and presetting
- Machine troubleshooting
Experience with FANUC, HAAS, and OKUMA controls and CAD/CAM software is preferred in the underlying role.
Successful CNC Lathe Machinists:
- Set up machines correctly and efficiently
- Understand the blueprint before machining begins
- Select and prepare the right tooling
- Produce first articles that meet specifications
- Monitor the machining process rather than simply waiting for a cycle to finish
- Measure parts accurately throughout production
- Recognize changes in tooling or machine performance
- Make appropriate offsets and adjustments
- Catch problems before they become scrap
