Why join us?

• Programming Responsibility: Create and edit programs using Mazatrol conversational programming and G-code/EIA.
• Milling and Turning Exposure: Work across three CNC mills and one CNC lathe.
• Full Job Ownership: Take components from blueprint review through programming, setup, machining, and inspection.
• Small-Shop Impact: Your machining knowledge and problem-solving ability will directly affect production and part quality.
• Established Operation: Join an Akron machine shop with nearly four decades in business.
