Why this role?

  • Autonomy: work confidently and independently across software and machines.
  • Impact: test and inspect products, services, and software systems—and fix what isn’t right, from programs to machinery.

What will you do each shift?

  • Translate blueprints and technical drawings into accurate setups and offsets.
  • Program with Mastercam and CamWorks; simulate and prove out toolpaths.
  • Operate mills primarily (3–4 axis VMC and Mitsubishi 5-axis), with lathes and grinders as needed.
  • Measure twice, cut once: verify dimensions using precision instruments and document results.
  • Care for the equipment: perform regular maintenance to minimize downtime.
  • Deliver to spec: ensure quality compliance and make data-driven adjustments.
  • Protect the team: follow OSHA and company safety standards.

Are you a fit?

  • Math-ready: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, geometry, algebra—with strong trigonometry and statistics skills.
  • Clear communicator who follows written and oral instructions.
  • Steady under pressure with proven problem-solving ability.
  • Comfortable interpreting complex engineering drawings.
