Precision Machining Technician — Press & Lathe Operations

Shape Metal. Build Quality. Grow Your Craft.Step into a production floor where your hands-on skill makes a measurable difference. As our Precision Machining Technician, you’ll start each shift preparing press and lathe equipment so every run meets spec—from first piece to final pallet.A day in the lifeYou arrive, review the work order, and ready the machines—cleaning, calibrating, and dialing in settings so the first production cycle starts smooth. You load raw material into semi-automated equipment, monitor speeds and feeds, and make adjustments on the fly. Periodically, you test machine performance and confirm output meets standards. When something isn’t right, you troubleshoot, correct the issue, and document what you did. Throughout the shift, you inspect parts using precision measuring tools, flag defects, and record both accepted and rejected units. Before you clock out, you wrap with accurate activity and production logs so the next team can hit the ground running.Core responsibilitiesPrepare and calibrate press and lathe machines; clean and verify readiness for production cyclesAdjust operating parameters (e.g., speed) to maintain quality and throughputLoad raw materials/parts into semi-automated equipmentMeasure components with precision instruments and gaugesPerform periodic test runs and functional checksTroubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during the shiftInspect output to identify machine-related defectsRecord approved and defective units or finished goodsMaintain accurate activity and production logsWhat you’ll bringStrong commitment to health and safety practicesAnalytical, problem-solving mindsetKeen attention to detail and qualityClear communication and teamwork skillsPhysical stamina and strength to perform shop-floor workMinimum qualificationsHigh school diploma or equivalent; technical degree is a plusEmployment detailsJob Type: Full-timeWork Location: In personSchedule2nd or 3rd Shift8 hour shiftOvertimeWeekends as neededProficiencies that set you up for successQuality Inspection ExperienceMechanical Troubleshooting SkillsMachine Setups for Production RunsExperience in a Manufacturing EnvironmentBasic Computer SkillsBenefits401(k)401(k) matchingDental insuranceHealth insuranceLife insurancePaid time offReferral programVision insurancePeople with a criminal record are encouraged to applyResonac is an equal opportunity employer #J-18808-Ljbffr Resonac Powdered Metals
