Machine Big Parts. Solve Big Challenges.

At Strohwig, we don't build ordinary parts. We manufacture large, complex precision components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and other demanding industries where accuracy, craftsmanship, and attention to detail matter.

We're looking for an experienced Senior CNC Machinist to independently set up, operate, and program our large gantry CNC machining centers while producing high-precision components from start to finish. If you enjoy challenging setups, large workpieces, and seeing your craftsmanship come to life, this is the role for you.

Why Strohwig?

For more than 40 years, Strohwig has built a reputation for solving manufacturing challenges that many shops won't take on. Our 210,000-square-foot facility is equipped with advanced CNC machining technology capable of producing complex, large-scale precision components.

Our machinists don't spend their days loading the same production part. They solve machining challenges, optimize processes, and take ownership of every setup.
