What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced CNC Setup Machinist / Precision Grinder position at LTL Company?
Experienced CNC Setup Machinist / Precision Grinder
LTL Company | Rockford, IL | 1st Shift
Family-run job shop in Rockford, making chips since 1917. We're a high-mix, low-volume to mid volume shop, so the work changes constantly and no two weeks look the same.
We are looking for an experienced CNC setup machinist who can set up and run CNC mills or lathes from start to finish. We're also interested in experienced precision grinders with hands-on ID, OD, or surface grinding experience.
Tell us what you're good at.
We have the flexibility to build the job around the right person. If you're strong in one area, we can use that. If you're a well-rounded machinist who likes working across different machines and solving different problems, there's room for that too.
What We're Looking For
You should be able to:
- Read and work from blueprints, including GD&T
- Perform your own setups with minimal supervision
- Inspect your own work using micrometers, bore gages, indicators, and other inspection tools
- Make adjustments and solve problems when a job isn't running correctly
- Speak up when something doesn't look right
- Take pride in producing good parts
CNC Machining
Setup experience is more important to us than experience with a specific machine brand. Experience with any of the following is valuable:
- CNC mill or lathe setup
- Editing programs at the machine
- G-code and M-code
- Tooling and workholding
- Adjusting speeds and feeds
- Improving setups, cycle times, or processes
- Okuma or Haas experience
Precision Grinding
We're also interested in experienced precision grinders with hands-on experience in:
- ID grinding
- OD grinding
- Surface grinding
- Tight-tolerance inspection
You do not need experience in both CNC machining and precision grinding. We're looking for experienced people who are strong at what they do.
Pay
Up to $32 per hour based on actual experience and capability.
The higher end of the range is for experienced machinists or precision grinders who can independently set up, troubleshoot, and produce tight-tolerance work.
