Responsibilities

• Operate machine tools — including CNC mills and lathes (4- and 5-axis) — to produce precision parts and instruments
• Modify parts, programs, and processes to improve overall production efficiency and part quality
• Test completed parts to detect and eliminate defects, adjusting process as needed to hold tolerance
• Perform routine maintenance on machinery and troubleshoot issues that arise during production
• Calculate dimensions and tolerances using precision measuring instruments
• Set up and operate a range of machinery, including lathes, milling machines, and CNC equipment, for low-volume, high-complexity parts
• Read and interpret complex technical drawings, blueprints, GD&T callouts, and CAD files to determine specifications and production processes
• Measure and inspect in-process and finished parts using precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators) to ensure parts meet spec
• Collaborate with engineers and other team members to improve processes, resolve production challenges, and support new part launches
• Mentor and train junior and mid-level machinists on setups and best practices
• Maintain accurate job documentation

Qualifications

• Strong CNC machining experience
