T&D Machine
Job Description
Job Description
Make precision real
Our mission is simple: deliver flawless parts, fast. As a CNC Setup Specialist, you transform drawings into reality—setting up Mazak and Doosan mills and lathes for short runs and prototypes, proving out first articles, and ensuring every feature aligns with the print.
Impact you’ll haveEvery day brings a new challenge: a different material, geometry, or tolerance target. You stage tools, touch off, set offsets, and measure meticulously to ±0.0005". You collaborate with experienced programmers and machinists, tweak G-code when needed, and suggest process improvements that save minutes without losing a tenth.
Success looks like- First-article parts that meet spec on the first pass
- Efficient, repeatable setups documented via setup sheets
- Clear feedback to programmers and teammates that improves the next run
- A calm, respectful presence on the floor—no raised voices, just results
- GD&T principles applied at the machine
- Blueprint reading and practical G-code adjustments
- CNC tooling selection, touch-offs, and offset strategies
- Inspection with indicators, calipers, and micrometers
- CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
- CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
- Horizontal Machining Center (3–4 axis)
- Calipers and Micrometers
- Forklifts for safe material handling
- Competitive pay that matches your capability
- Air-conditioned, modern shop and equipment
- A crew that takes pride in precision and listens to ideas from the floor
- Health, dental, vision benefits and a 401(k)
- Balanced schedule—reliable hours so you’re home for dinner
If you build better parts and better processes, you’ll feel right at home here. Let’s get to work.
