Job description

Tungsten Alloys Centerless Grinding Technician

Picture this: a workpiece arrives just shy of round. You straighten it by handโ€”or with a hydraulic pressโ€”tweak the guides and blades, dress both wheels, and bring it into tolerance with a clean finish. Thatโ€™s the craft youโ€™ll practice on our 2nd shift at Mi-Tech Tungsten Metals.

What youโ€™ll do

In this role, youโ€™ll own the full centerless grinding processโ€”from setup to final measurementโ€”while keeping quality, speed, and safety aligned.

  • Set up and operate centerless grinders, closely monitoring grinding operations and measurement checks.
  • Adjust work guides and grinding blades to achieve round, consistent parts ready for finishing.
  • Straighten parts by hand or with a hydraulic press prior to grinding.
  • Modify operating parameters to maintain tight tolerances and the required surface finish.
  • Replace regulating or grinding wheels whenever needed.
  • Dress both the regulating and grinding wheels as instructed.
  • Spot malfunctions, troubleshoot process issues, and make control adjustments to correct them.
What you bring
  • 1 or more years of manufacturing experience.
  • Comfort using precision instruments: micrometers, comparators, and gauges.
  • Mechanical aptitude paired with solid math capability.
  • Previous grinding experience is a plus.
Compensation & benefits
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, 401k, STD
  • Paid Vacation Days and Holidays
  • Personal Time
  • And More

Bring your precision mindset to 2nd shift and help us deliver parts that meet exacting standardsโ€”every time.
