  • Design, fabricate, and refine custom tools, fixtures, and jigs—supporting rapid innovation and one-of-a-kind assemblies
  • Interpret and work from detailed drawings, engineering specs, and verbal instructions; suggest improvements for quality or efficiency
  • Apply deep shop math and engineering principles to ensure parts are manufacturable, practical, and cost-effective
  • Inspect work using all necessary measuring tools, ensuring tight tolerances and exact specifications
  • Proactively improve processes, maintain a safe workspace, and mentor teammates when needed

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 10 years’ experience programming and running CNC lathes and mills
  • Extensive hands-on expertise with Mastercam (X9 or newer) for multi-axis machining and live tooling
