Job description

Tool & Die Maker
Wilson Tool | Full-Time | Day Shift
Build What Others Can't
Wilson Tool is seeking highly skilled Die Makers who take pride in precision, thrive in complex problem-solving, and consistently deliver work beyond the capability of most shops. This role is ideal for experienced professionals in the Stamping Industry who have built, maintained, or designed dies and are looking for a position that offers variety, technical challenge, and direct impact on global manufacturing.
You'll work with multiple national stamping accounts and advanced manufacturing technology in a role that is anything but repetitive. Every day brings new challenges, new designs, and opportunities to apply true craftsmanship and expertise.
This is not a production machining role. This is a true Die Maker position where craftsmanship, problem-solving, and technical depth are essential. You will build and refine high-precision tooling components that directly impact global manufacturing performance-often working to tolerances of ±0.0001".
If you are the person others rely on for the toughest jobs, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Do
  • Interpret stamping die designs and components for manufacturability and production
  • Manufacture complex, one-off, and short-run tooling to exact specifications
  • Read and interpret advanced blueprints, including GD&T, independently
  • Consistently hold extremely tight tolerances (to four decimal places)
  • Perform advanced setups across multiple machines, including:
    • CNC and manual mills and lathes
    • Surface, ID/OD grinding
    • EDM equipment
  • Select tooling, materials, and machining strategies based on part complexity and material behavior
  • Perform detailed in-process and final inspections using precision measurement tools
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex tooling and machining challenges
  • Partner with engineering and production teams to improve tooling performance and manufacturability
  • Support shop floor operations with urgency and technical expertise
  • Drive continuous improvement in setups, programming, and tool design
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment (5S standards)
  • Mentor and support less experienced machinists

What Sets You Apart
  • Experience in the metal stamping and/or die industry
  • Proven ability to consistently hold ±0.0001" tolerances
  • Trusted with highly complex, high-risk, or high-visibility work
  • You don't just run programs-you understand and improve them
  • Comfortable moving between machines, materials, and setups with confidence
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with a track record of solving difficult problems
  • Ownership mindset with urgency, accountability, and results-driven execution
Required Experience & Skills
  • 3+ years of experience in tool & die or high-precision machining
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in stamping die build or die design
  • Proven ability to independently complete complex setups
  • Advanced proficiency in:
    • G/M code programming
    • GD&T and blueprint interpretation
    • Machinist math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry)
  • Strong understanding of tool steels, material properties, and machining strategies
  • CAD experience (SolidWorks preferred)
Why Wilson Tool
  • Work on challenging, high-precision tooling-not repetitive production parts
  • Be part of a team that values craftsmanship, skill, and technical expertise
  • Clean, climate-controlled, well-equipped tool room
  • Competitive pay: $41.83 - $43.77/hour (DOE) + shift premium where applicable
  • Stable, global organization with continued investment in technology
  • Opportunity to influence tooling design, processes, and continuous improvement at scale
Work Environment
  • Clean, well-lit, climate-controlled manufacturing facility
  • Continuous standing and hands-on precision work
  • Moderate noise levels; PPE required
Schedule
Full-time, Monday-Friday
Day Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM or 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
