TekPro Engineering
South Elgin, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 1/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/3/2026

Your day on the floor


From first-piece to final inspection, you own the process. You'll set up multi‑axis mills and lathes, dial in tooling and offsets, interpret detailed prints with GD&T, and make in‑control edits at the machine using G&M codes to keep parts running to spec. Quality is your constant—measuring, verifying, and documenting at every stage, and deburring parts so they're ready for the next operation or shipment.

What you'll do

  • Set up CNC equipment for production runs, including tooling selection, tool presetting, and offset adjustments
  • Read and interpret blueprints and GD&T feature control frames to validate dimensions and tolerances
  • Operate and adjust programs at the control using G & M codes to optimize cycle time and maintain conformance
  • Ensure part quality through proper tooling practices, in‑process measurements, inspections, and careful deburring

What you bring

  • Fluency in GD&T and blueprint reading
  • Hands‑on experience with CNC tooling and machine setups for production
  • CNC programming knowledge with strong G‑Code and M‑Code skills
  • Deburring expertise and a quality‑first mindset

Machines & technologies you'll use

  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Fanuc, Mazak, Okuma, Makino
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) — Mazak, Okuma
  • CNC Swiss Lathe — Star, Citizen
  • CNC Mill (5 axis VMC) — Mazak, Okuma
  • CNC Lathe (5 axis) — Mazak, Okuma

If you thrive on precision, enjoy solving machining challenges at the control, and take pride in producing accurate, clean parts, this role is for you.
