Precision Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Bring your mastery of CNC machining to Major Tool & Machine (MTM) and help manufacture components that power Space, Defense, Energy, Nuclear, and Commercial programs. We offer market leading pay, comprehensive benefits, an optional 4/10 work schedule, quarterly bonus potential, and a culture centered on employee engagement and growth.

You arrive to a clean, organized cell, review the day’s priorities, and open the latest print. You translate sketches, drawings, specifications, and router instructions into a clear plan of action—sequencing operations and deciding exactly how to stage the work. You choose and align fixtures, improvise with risers or angle plates when needed, and set up your machine for custom work. As the first cut begins, you dial in speed, feed, and depth, keeping a watchful eye to anticipate any malfunctions or out-of-tolerance conditions. You adjust controls and control media with confidence.

With the first piece off, you verify every feature against print and router specs using precision measuring tools, recording inspection data and ensuring first-piece signoff for multi-piece runs. Throughout the shift, you maintain machine and work-area cleanliness and partner closely with peers, engineers, and leadership—hitting deadlines with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
