Job Description
About the Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced CNC Prototype Machinist / Manufacturing Engineering Technician to join an established manufacturing operation. This position is ideal for a skilled machinist who enjoys hands-on problem-solving, developing custom tooling, and supporting manufacturing improvements.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in CNC and manual machining, precision tooling, and prototype fabrication, with the ability to take projects from concept through completion.
Key Responsibilities
- Set up and operate CNC milling machines, lathes, and manual machining equipment.
- Manufacture, modify, and repair precision tooling, fixtures, gauges, and prototype components.
- Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications.
- Troubleshoot machining processes, tooling failures, and manufacturing equipment issues.
- Design and implement tooling modifications to improve production efficiency and quality.
- Work closely with engineering, maintenance, quality, and production teams to resolve manufacturing challenges.
- Support new equipment installations, process improvements, and engineering changes.
- Perform precision measurements and inspections to ensure components meet required tolerances.
- Assist with preventive maintenance activities and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Maintain accurate technical documentation and follow established safety and quality standards.
Required Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in a machine shop, CNC machining, or tool-and-die environment.
- Hands-on experience operating CNC mills, lathes, and/or manual machining equipment.
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and machining specifications.
- Experience with precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators.
- Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
- Ability to independently manufacture or modify components based on technical requirements.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety.
Preferred Qualifications
- Associate degree or technical training in Machining Technology, Tool and Die, or a related field.
- Experience manufacturing custom fixtures, tooling, gauges, or prototype parts.
- CNC programming or program modification experience.
- Experience with CAD/CAM software, including SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD, or Mastercam.
- Precision surface grinding experience.
- Knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial manufacturing equipment.
- Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, root cause analysis, APQP, or continuous improvement practices.
- Previous experience in automotive, aerospace, or precision manufacturing environments.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
This is more than a traditional CNC operator position. You'll have the opportunity to apply your machining knowledge to solve challenging manufacturing problems, develop custom solutions, and contribute directly to equipment reliability, product quality, and production efficiency.
We are particularly interested in candidates who enjoy hands-on machining, custom tooling, prototype development, and technical problem-solving.
