What if your handiwork powered a spacecraft?
At Ace Precision, it can. We’re a long-standing leader—40 years strong—serving Aerospace, Power Generation, Defense & Space, and Aftermarket Repair & Overhaul. From commercial jets to military platforms to spacecraft, our parts keep missions moving. Now we’re adding a Precision Laser Operator in Oconomowoc or Menomonee Falls, WI.
The opportunity
Imagine stepping to a station equipped with CO2, YAG, and flat-cut laser systems. You review the sketch and setup packet, map your sequence, launch the program, and keep a sharp eye for anything off—heat input, edge quality, or a dimension drifting. You verify with micrometers, pin gauges, and vernier calipers, deburr to spec, and flag any process or sequencing anomalies so the next run is even better.
Core responsibilities
- Read and apply sketches, setup sheets, and related documents to machine precision parts.
- Start and monitor laser operations; catch malfunctions and out-of-tolerance conditions early.
- Recognize/report process variation, sequence issues, and dimensional/finish deviations.
- Inspect to specification using micrometers, pin gauges, and vernier calipers.
- Deburr and finish parts as required.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or GED.
- Two or more years of relevant experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination.
What’s in it for you
- Strong pay with annual reviews.
- Choose from day or night schedules, with compressed workweeks and a 10% shift premium for eligible shifts.

- Robust benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance.
- 401(k) match up to 8%.
- Time to recharge: Paid Vacation, Personal Time, and 9 Paid Holidays.
- Paid Parental Leave.
- Wellness Program reimbursements, Safety & Wellness reimbursement, and an Employee Assistance Program.
