Job description

The pilot metals development team is expanding to Las Vegas, growing Applied Medical's precision manufacturing operation. This expansion supports Applied Medical's mission to advance minimally invasive surgery by manufacturing precision metal components and tooling used in medical device development and production. Team members joining the Las Vegas operation execute high‑tolerance work that supports medical device development, backed by established processes in a vertically integrated environment. These careers contribute directly to product quality, speed to market, and design‑for‑manufacture. Career opportunities align with precision machinist, CNC programmer, EDM machinist, tool and die maker, mold maker, and metal fabrication specialist roles.

Position Description

Our Team Will:

• Manufacture precision parts for pilot builds and product launch using CNC milling, CNC turning, EDM (wire/sinker), grinding, progressive stamping, and related processes.
• Program and optimize toolpaths, feeds, speeds, and workholding to achieve quality, throughput, and repeatability targets.
• Build and maintain tooling, molds, and dies; troubleshoot fit and function to meet dimensional and durability requirements.
• Interpret engineering drawings and models; apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure design intent and tolerance stack‑ups are met.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to translate requirements into manufacturable solutions and support design‑for‑manufacturing feedback loops.
• Inspect parts using precision metrology; document results and maintain records within medical device quality systems.
• Improve processes through continuous improvement practices that enhance quality, safety, and cycle time.

Career Opportunities Include

• CNC Lathe Machinist
• CNC Milling Machinist
• CNC Programmer

Success On This Team Looks Like

• Delivering tight‑tolerance parts that meet dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and functional performance requirements.
• Reducing cycle time and increasing first‑pass yield through smart setups, programming, and fixturing.
• Partnering effectively with cross‑functional teams to accelerate development timelines and de‑risk scale‑up.
• Documenting work clearly to ensure regulatory compliance and traceability within quality systems.
• Driving continuous improvement that reduces scrap, improves throughput, and supports cost‑effective production.

Position Requirements

What We Look For:

• Foundational machining or fabrication knowledge across CNC milling or turning, EDM, grinding, stamping, toolmaking, or mold making.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and use precision measurement tools, for example micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and comparators.
• Understanding of GD&T principles and the ability to follow documented processes within a quality‑regulated environment.
• Effective communication with engineering, quality, and manufacturing partners, with accurate documentation of work.
• Ability to operate safely in shop, lab, and clean room environments as required, and to adhere to company safety rules and policies.

Applied Medical Offers

• Vertically integrated development, allowing teams to design, build, test, and refine products within a single organization.
• Career pathways across technical, operational, and leadership roles, supporting long‑term growth and skill development.
• Fast feedback loops between engineering, quality, and manufacturing that accelerate learning and improve execution.
• Mission‑driven work that directly supports technologies used in minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation range: $18 – 30+ / hour (Nevada).
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Training and mentorship opportunities.
• Education reimbursement program.
• 401(k) program with discretionary employer match.
• Generous vacation accrual and paid holiday schedule.
