Job description

Description

Wire EDM Operator 

Location: Beachwood OH. (Climate-controlled facility)

Hours: 7am - 3:30pm 

Pay: $20-$25/hour (paid weekly + eligible for overtime)


We manufacture precision ball screws and linear components for aerospace, medical, and defense. We need a Wire EDM operator who can set up, run, and monitor EDM machines independently, inspect their own work, and hold tight tolerances to print. 


Hard Requirements

  • Experience operating and setting up Wire EDM machines, required
  • Must read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T
  • Must inspect your own work using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring instruments
  • Able to troubleshoot process and machine issues without constant escalation
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
  • Comfortable working with industrial fluids (coolants, dielectric fluid, oils)
  • Must be a U.S. person (citizen or lawful permanent resident) - required by U.S. export control law

What You'll Do

  • Set up Wire EDM machines to job specifications and engineering drawings
  • Monitor machining operations to ensure consistent quality and process adherence
  • Inspect finished components for dimensional accuracy and conformance to print
  • Perform routine machine maintenance and identify issues before they affect output
  • Maintain a clean, organized, 5S-ready work area
  • Collaborate with engineering and production to resolve issues and optimize processes

Nice to Have

  • Background in AS9100, ISO 9001, or regulated environments (aerospace, medical, defense)
  • Experience with other precision machining processes
  • Technical certification or vocational training in machining or manufacturing

Who You Are

  • You don't pass work you wouldn't put your name on
  • You set up and run independently, you're not waiting to be walked through it
  • You communicate when something's off and help find the fix
  • You hold yourself to a standard even when no one's watching
  • You're looking for a place to build skills, not just fill a shift

What It's Like to Work Here

  • Climate-controlled facility, no harsh shop conditions
  • Exposure to advanced equipment: Wire EDM, Swiss CNC lathes, multi-axis mills, precision grinders
  • Team of machinists and engineers who take their work seriously
  • Consistent day shift, no rotating schedules
  • Your work goes into aerospace, defense, and medical systems, the parts you make matter, and we don't lose sight of that
  • We move with urgency, but we don't cut corners to get there
