Job Description:
ob Overview Starting wage is based upon your experience. We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Machinist to join our manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for operating and maintaining a variety of precision machining equipment, including CNC lathes and milling machines, to produce high-quality components. Your expertise in blueprint reading, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and mechanical knowledge will ensure parts meet strict specifications. You will play a vital role in supporting our production processes by setting up tooling, programming CNC machines, and performing precise measurements using advanced instruments. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with state-of-the-art machinery and contribute to innovative manufacturing projects. Responsibilities

• Operate CNC machining equipment such as CNC lathes, milling machines, and other precision tools to produce complex parts with accuracy and efficiency.
• Program CNC machines using CAM software and G-code, ensuring optimal tool paths and machining parameters.
• Read and interpret detailed blueprints, technical drawings, and GD&T specifications to ensure parts meet design requirements.
• Set up tooling, fixtures, and cutting tools on machines, adjusting as necessary for different jobs.
• Utilize precision measuring instruments including calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), and dial indicators to verify dimensions and tolerances.
• Perform routine maintenance on machinery to ensure optimal performance and safety standards are maintained.
• Troubleshoot machining issues promptly by analyzing tooling wear, machine calibration, or programming errors.
• Support lean manufacturing initiatives by optimizing processes for efficiency and waste reduction.
• Assist in assembly operations when required, using hand tools, power tools, welding equipment, and other fabrication techniques.
• Maintain accurate documentation of production activities, inspection reports, and machine logs.
• Follow safety protocols diligently while handling heavy machinery, power tools, forklifts, and other equipment.
• Collaborate with engineers and designers using SolidWorks or CAD software to review designs or suggest improvements for manufacturability.

Qualifications:
Experience

• Proven experience as a Machinist in a manufacturing environment with hands-on operation of CNC lathe and CNC milling machines.
• Strong knowledge of CNC programming languages such as G-code or CAM programming software.
• Familiarity with blueprint reading, GD&T principles, and mechanical drawings is essential.
• Experience working with precision measuring instruments like calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, CMMs, and dial indicators.
• Solid understanding of tooling setup, fixture design, and material properties—especially plastics injection molding or metal fabrication is a plus.
• Ability to perform basic math calculations accurately for measurement conversions and machine adjustments.
• Knowledge of electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes is advantageous but not mandatory.
• Familiarity with Fanuc controls or similar CNC control systems enhances operational capability.
• Experience working with hand tools, power tools, welding equipment, forklifts, and assembly aids is preferred.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety standards in a manufacturing setting while maintaining high-quality output. Join us as a Machinist if you’re passionate about precision craftsmanship!
