Imagine taking raw bar stock and transforming it into aerospace-grade components that keep the world moving. At Timken’s Aurora Bearing facility, we’re looking for a CNC professional who thrives on accuracy, keeps machines in peak condition, and pursues continuous improvement—especially on afternoon/second shift.
The Mission
Create precision parts on CNC lathes and mills while holding print-defined characteristics. You’ll program or operate equipment, validate first-piece quality, and manage repeatability through disciplined in-process checks.
How You’ll Execute
Program and/or run CNC equipment to machine I.D./O.D. features from bar stock, including facing, chamfering, grooving, and drilling.
Choose and swap arbors, fixtures, inserts, speeds/feeds, and tooling per blueprint specs.
Produce first-piece parts, make offset/tool changes to hit tolerances, and complete paperwork for set-up approval.
Load parts, cycle machines, check at designated intervals, and adjust to maintain quality throughout the operation.
Keep machines production-ready: monitor fluid levels and perform routine care.
Surface grind and re-sharpen arbor teeth as needed.
Schedule & Pay
Afternoon/2nd-shift opportunities available.
1st Shift: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

Compensation starts at $21.50/hour (experience-based) with a $1.50/hour differential for 2nd shift.
What You Bring
High School Diploma or GED.
Ideally 1+ year operating CNC machinery in manufacturing; set-up experience preferred.
Background with Hardinge lathes and/or HAAS, Mazak, Ganesh, Doosan equipment is a plus.
Proficiency with gages and micrometers and confidence reading blueprints.
If you’re driven by precision and eager to grow with on-the-job training, you’ll fit right in at Timken’s Aurora Bearing facility. Let’s build what moves the world.
