As demand continues to grow, we're expanding our machining capabilities, investing in our people and processes, and creating opportunities for machinists who want to play an active role in improving how work gets done.

• Set up and operate CNC lathes and CNC machining centers.
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, specifications, and work orders.
• Select tooling and determine appropriate feeds, speeds, and cutting parameters.
• Secure workpieces using chucks, collets, fixtures, and other holding devices.
• Perform machine setups, fixture changes, and dimensional adjustments throughout the shift.
• Edit and update CNC programs in collaboration with Engineering and Programming teams.
• Inspect finished parts using precision measuring instruments and calibrated gauges.
• Deburr and finish components as required.
• Support continuous improvement, quality, and safety initiatives.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What Success Looks Like

• Producing quality parts that meet specifications and tolerances.
• Performing accurate machine setups with minimal downtime.
• Maintaining a strong focus on safety and quality.
• Contributing ideas for process and machining improvements.
• Working collaboratively with production, engineering, and quality teams.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 6 months of machining experience, technical training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• CNC setup and troubleshooting experience.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and manufacturing documentation.
• Ability to use precision measuring equipment and gauges.
• Ability to lift up to 30 pounds.
• Must possess a high school diploma or GED

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical certification in Machining, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field.
• Experience in a low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environment.

What We Offer

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with company match
