The ideal candidate is an experienced machinist who enjoys prototype and small-batch manufacturing, takes pride in precision craftsmanship, and can work independently in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Set up, program (as required), and operate mini CNC mills, lathes, and laser cutting equipment to manufacture precision components within specified tolerances.
  • Fabricate custom tooling, assembly fixtures, winding mandrels, compression fixtures, and production aids to support engineering and manufacturing operations.
  • Perform secondary machining operations including drilling, tapping, reaming, deburring, surface finishing, and precision fitting.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, CAD models, and GD&T specifications to produce high-quality parts.
  • Select appropriate tooling, workholding methods, cutting speeds, and feeds for various materials including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and engineered plastics.
  • Inspect completed components using precision measuring equipment to verify dimensional accuracy and quality requirements.
  • Perform routine preventive maintenance, cleaning, and minor troubleshooting of CNC machines, laser cutters, and shop equipment.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe machine shop environment while following all applicable safety procedures.
  • Collaborate with engineering personnel to improve manufacturability and tooling efficiency.
  • Support prototype development and continuous process improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical or vocational machining education preferred.
  • Minimum 2–5 years of hands-on CNC machining experience.
  • Experience operating CNC mills, routers, or lathes in a precision manufacturing environment.
  • Working knowledge of machining principles including speeds, feeds, cutting tools, workholding, and machining strategies.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T.
  • Experience using precision inspection equipment including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and indicators.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience operating commercial laser cutting systems.
  • Proficiency with CAD/CAM software such as Fusion 360, Mastercam, SolidWorks CAM, or similar.
  • Experience building tooling and fixtures for prototype or low-volume manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with electric motor or aerospace component manufacturing.
  • Understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement practices.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills.
  • Ability to maintain close tolerances and produce repeatable quality work.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills.
