About Us

Minuteman Spring Company is a precision spring and wire form manufacturer based in Millbury, Massachusetts, in continuous operation since 1946. We make custom compression, extension, torsion, barrel, and conical springs, along with custom wire forms like clips, brackets, and retaining rings, for customers across aerospace and defense, medical and life sciences, automotive, industrial equipment, electronics, and energy. As a jobber spring shop, we manufacture exclusively to order, using CNC coiling and wire-forming equipment on wire diameters from .008" to .312" in materials from carbon and stainless steel to specialty alloys. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified, and after nearly 80 years we still run like the shop we started as: hands-on, accountable, and known to our customers as partners.

The Role

We're looking for a CNC setup technician or machinist to help run and set up our precision manufacturing equipment, including our CNC spring coiling machines. You don't need prior spring-industry experience — strong CNC setup/machining fundamentals, blueprint reading, and precision measuring are the core of the job, and we'll train the right person on our specific coiling equipment. If you already have coiler or wire-forming experience, even better; that moves you straight to the front of the line.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC machining/forming equipment for new and repeat jobs
• Read and interpret prints/blueprints to determine dimensional specs and tolerances
• Select and install tooling for each job
• Run trial parts, inspect first pieces against print using micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring tools, and adjust settings for dimensional accuracy
• Monitor running production for quality and make machine adjustments as needed
• Maintain and sharpen tooling as needed
• Document setup parameters per job so repeat runs can be recalled quickly

Requirements

• 1+ years of hands-on experience setting up and running CNC machines (any type — machining, forming, stamping, wire, or similar; spring coiling not required)
• Ability to read mechanical prints and blueprints
• Experience with precision measuring tools (micrometers, gauges, calipers)
• Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to tolerance and spec
• Reliable and safety-conscious around industrial equipment

Nice to Have (not required)

• Experience with CNC spring coiling machines, especially Torin
• Experience training or mentoring other operators/setup staff
• Familiarity with wire-forming or 4-slide equipment

As a jobber spring shop, we manufacture exclusively to order rather than off a shelf, using CNC coiling and wire-forming equipment to handle wire diameters from .008" to .312" in materials ranging from carbon and stainless steel to music wire, phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, and specialty alloys. Our team supports customers from initial design and stress analysis through prototype runs and full production, and we're ISO 9001:2015 certified with rigorous in-process and final inspection on everything we ship.

Nearly 80 years in, we still operate like the shop we started as: hands-on, accountable for delivery and quality, and known to our customers as partners rather than a faceless supplier.
