Job summary

DeSHAZO, LLC. in Huntsville, Alabama is looking for an Entry Level Machinist to start a machining career. You will learn to set up and run CNC equipment, read prints, and produce mechanical components for our material handling equipment and automation systems, with hands-on guidance from experienced machinists.

Most jobs are custom, one-off parts, so you’ll be learning to work through something new far more often than repeating a process you already know.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED, or current enrollment in a machining or manufacturing trade program.
• Willingness to learn hands-on machining skills from experienced machinists — no prior shop experience required.
• Basic computer skills (Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel) and ability to follow written and verbal instructions closely.
• Comfortable working on a variety of different parts rather than the same job repeatedly.

Responsibilities

• Learn to safely operate CNC machining equipment under the guidance of experienced machinists.
• Run proven jobs — load, cycle, unload, and check parts against the print.
• Learn to read prints and BOMs, and check finished features and dimensions against them.
• Use standard measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) to verify parts and hold size.
• Learn to apply tool wear offsets, and recognize when something is off enough to stop and ask.
• Build toward setting up and running your own jobs as your skills develop.
