Join a team that prizes craftsmanship and continuous improvement. Your mission: transform raw stock into precision components that meet strict specifications and support high‑reliability applications. You’ll own your setup, make data‑driven adjustments on the fly, and collaborate across the shop to keep quality and throughput high.
Your impact
Configure and operate CNC/lathe equipment to execute turning, facing, drilling, threading, and grooving with consistency across metals and alloys.
Translate engineering drawings and technical instructions into a clear machining plan with defined dimensions and tolerances.
Prepare workholding: align, fixture, and clamp parts securely to safeguard accuracy and part integrity.
Choose and install the best tooling; set offsets along with optimal speeds, feeds, and depths of cut for the job at hand.
Track tool condition, surface finish, and size control; tune parameters proactively to sustain precision and efficiency.
Execute routine equipment care—cleaning, lubrication, and tooling changes—to maximize uptime.
Engage with engineers, supervisors, and peers to resolve issues and enhance machining processes.
What sets you up for success
High school diploma or equivalent.
Experience as a lathe operator or similar manufacturing role (preferred).
Ability to read blueprints and specifications accurately, including tolerances and machining requirements.
Proficiency with micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, and gauges to confirm dimensions.
Understanding of cutting tool types/geometries and their best‑use scenarios; confident tool selection and installation.
