Job Description
Are you the machinist who loves solving the tough ones?

Do you thrive on high-mix, low-volume work where every setup is different? Are you equally comfortable proving out a Mastercam program in NCSimul and fine-tuning a setup on a mill-turn? If you’re energized by machining exotic and heatresistant alloys for critical national defense applications, this opportunity is built for you.

What you will do
  • Set up and run CNC mills, lathes, and millturn machines for complex components
  • Read drawings and 3D models, apply GD&T, and hold tight tolerances
  • Review and validate CNC programs in Mastercam and NCSimul prior to production
  • Use Renishaw probing/tool-setting to speed setups and verify features
  • Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments
  • Troubleshoot machining challenges and drive improvements in setups, cycle times, and part quality
  • Record accurate work order data and process notes in ProShop ERP
What you bring
  • 5–10 years in machining environments
  • Associate degree in Manufacturing, Engineering, Programming, Drafting, or related area
  • Working knowledge of SolidWorks for 3D model comprehension
  • Strong blueprint/GD&T skills and methodical mechanical problem-solving
  • Depth in CNC setup and complex machining operations
  • Familiarity with ERP platforms and Microsoft Office
Proficiencies that set you apart
  • Expertise in CNC tooling
  • Rapid, reliable machine setup and changeover
  • Precision measurement and hand metrology discipline
  • Effective setups for production and short runs
Technologies in your toolbox

  • Renishaw probing and tool-setting
  • ProShop ERP
  • SolidWorks
Eligibility
