About The Role

We're looking for a skilled Manual and CNC Machinist with hands-on experience in lathe and manual machining to join our growing manufacturing team. This position plays a key role in transitioning projects from development to production, assembling and testing precision mechanical components, and ensuring on-time delivery for our customers.

If you're detail-oriented, take pride in craftsmanship, and enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in the transition of parts and assemblies from development to full-scale production.
  • Manufacture, assemble, and test mechanical components according to drawings, models, and written procedures.
  • Collaborate with production leads, supervisors, and QA teams to ensure timely and accurate output.
  • Troubleshoot and correct issues through modification, rework, and repair.
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
  • Set up and operate precision tools including manual lathes and gauges.
  • Identify and implement continuous improvement projects to enhance safety and efficiency.
  • Perform daily equipment maintenance and ensure work areas are clean and organized.
  • Follow all safety and quality procedures.

Qualifications

Required:

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • 3-5 years of hands-on experience in industrial manufacturing, machining, or assembly.
  • Proficiency with manual lathes (CNC experience a plus, but computerized-only machining does not apply).
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, models, and specifications.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently or in a team.
  • Basic math and computer skills (Microsoft Office, Windows).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 44 lbs and perform repetitive work.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.

Preferred:

  • Trade school, technical certification, or degree in a related field.
  • Experience in Lean Manufacturing environments.
  • Proven track record in manual lathe machining and precision manufacturing.

Why Join Us

  • Competitive pay with overtime opportunities.
  • Work in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
  • Contribute to the success of cutting-edge production projects.

Apply today to join a team that values craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail.
