We’re hiring a skilled Wire EDM Machinist to set up, operate, and optimize CNC Wire EDM equipment producing high-precision tooling and components for metal packaging and high-volume manufacturing.

This is a hands-on role for a detail-driven machinist who takes pride in tight tolerances, clean setups, and consistent, high-quality output. If you enjoy solving problems at the machine, working with precision blueprints, and keeping complex equipment running at peak performance—this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Set up, operate, and monitor CNC Wire EDM machines to produce precision components and tooling
• Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, tolerances, and manufacturing routings
• Make program edits, offsets, and adjustments to maintain dimensional accuracy and optimize performance
• Determine machining strategy based on print requirements and process flow
• Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections using precision measuring tools and CMM equipment
• Troubleshoot machine, programming, setup, and tooling issues to minimize downtime
• Manage wire, electrodes, and consumables to maintain efficient production
• Run multiple EDM machines and support lights-out / unattended machining operations
• Support scheduling for overnight and weekend unattended production
• Ensure compliance with ISO standards, safety guidelines, and quality requirements
• Partner with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to improve processes and reduce waste
• Cross-train and support CNC Milling and Turning operations as needed
  
  

What We're Looking For

Experience & Knowledge

• 3–5 years of CNC Wire EDM or RAM EDM experience
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Hands-on experience with controls such as Fanuc, Makino, Mitsubishi, or similar
• Ability to edit CNC programs and document changes accurately
• Experience with first article and in-process inspection
• Proficient with precision measuring tools and CMM equipment
• Familiarity with ISO quality systems and manufacturing best practices
• High School Diploma or GED required (technical training or apprenticeship preferred)
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical school, machining certification, or apprenticeship training.
• Experience producing precision tooling, dies, molds, or metal forming components.
• CMM inspection experience.
• Experience operating CNC Mills and CNC Lathes.
• Manufacturing experience supporting metal packaging, consumer goods, or industrial production environments.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Produce precision tooling and components that support high-volume manufacturing operations.
• Work with advanced machining technology in a clean, quality-focused environment.
• Expand your skills across EDM, CNC Milling, and CNC Turning.
• Join a stable organization with long-term career growth opportunities.
• Be part of a team that values craftsmanship, precision, and continuous improvement.
  
  

If you’re a machinist who thrives in a high-precision environment and wants to be part of a team that values craftsmanship, efficiency, and innovation, we want to talk to you.

Apply today and bring your EDM expertise to a role where your work truly makes an impact!
