Be the Expert Behind Precision Cylinder Components
Picture your day: you review prints for a new hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder component, translate the drawing into an efficient CNC turning program, set up your lathe, dial in speeds and feeds, and run first-article parts that hit spec on the first pass. You collaborate with engineering on manufacturability, with production on throughput, and with quality on verification—so customers get reliable, cost-effective parts on time.
What You'll Do
Own the workflow end-to-end: program, set up, and perform final machining to produce precision parts meeting exact specifications.
Create, store, retrieve, and refine CNC programs for repeatable, high-quality results.
Sequence and prioritize work orders to align with customer deadlines.
Champion safety by following all procedures and regulations on the floor.
Keep equipment production-ready through preventive maintenance; troubleshoot and perform minor repairs as needed.
Set up tooling and offsets, run parts, and verify to print before release.
Interpret job packets, drawings, blueprints, and specifications to determine dimensions, tooling, speeds, and feeds.
