We are seeking a highly skilled Career Machinist to join a precision manufacturing team supporting advanced mechanical components and assemblies used in cutting-edge electronic and microwave applications.
This role operates at the intersection of machining excellence and engineering collaboration. You will develop, optimize, and sustain machining processes using advanced equipment including Swiss-style lathes, single and multi-turret lathes, and 3- to 5-axis CNC milling centers. Working closely with engineering teams, you will influence component design for manufacturability, support new product introduction (NPI), and ensure stable, repeatable production processes.
This is not a production-only operator role. We are looking for a machinist who takes ownership of process performance, quality, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop, refine, and sustain precision machining processes for complex components
Operate and set up Swiss-style lathes, mill/turn centers, and 3- to 5-axis milling machines
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve design for manufacturability (DFM)
Support new product introduction (NPI) and production transition
Ensure process stability, repeatability, and yield performance
Utilize advanced metrology tools to verify conformance to tight tolerances
Interpret and apply engineering drawings including GD&T
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in tooling, fixturing, and cycle time optimization
Maintain thorough documentation of setups, tooling strategies, and process changes
Qualifications: We are seeking a motivated machinist with strong technical capability and a passion for precision.
Required:
Career-level machining experience in high-precision environments
Strong understanding of machining fundamentals and tight tolerance work
Ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
Strong teamwork and communication skills
Positive attitude, flexibility, and willingness to learn
