About the role

Temperature Specialists, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom, high-accuracy temperature sensors used in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide. We are hiring a Sensor Case Fabricator to join our machine shop team producing the custom metal sensor cases and components that house every sensor we make. This position is based out of Saint Francis.

This is a hands-on metal fabrication and production machining role with genuine variety. No two weeks are exactly the same you'll work across manual lathe turning, tube cutting, TIG welding, laser welding, sandblasting, deburring, and metal finishing to produce high-volume runs of precision sensor cases. You'll read blueprints, set up your own work, and take ownership of parts from raw stock to finished component. No prior experience is required we train from the ground up. A background in machining, welding, fabrication, or any hands-on metalworking trade is a plus.

What you'll do

• Operate a manual lathe to turn and machine metal sensor case components to specification, including machine setup, tooling, and in-process measurement

• Use a chop saw and cutting equipment to cut metal tubing and stock to specified lengths

• Perform TIG welding to close one end of sensor case tubes, producing clean, consistent welds to print

• Operate laser welding equipment to join small sensor case components and fittings with precision

• Deburr and clean up machined and cut parts to remove sharp edges and meet finish requirements

• Operate sandblasting equipment to surface-treat metal sensor cases and components

• Use wire wheel polishing equipment to finish and clean metal parts to the required surface appearance

• Read and interpret blueprints and work orders; use measuring instruments to inspect finished parts for dimensional accuracy and quality

• Operate manual milling equipment and other shop equipment as needed

• Document production output and log completed work orders; maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop environment

What we're looking for

• Mechanical aptitude and genuine comfort working with machine tools, hand tools, and fabrication equipment

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints and work orders

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, consistent parts in a production environment

• Comfortable working in a machine shop environment you'll be around metal chips, cutting fluids, welding, and surface treatment processes daily

• Collaborative attitude and ability to communicate with other production departments

• Prior experience in machining, fabrication, welding, metalworking, or a related hands-on trade is preferred but not required all technical skills are developed through in-house training

A note on the work

This role is a good fit for someone who likes variety and takes pride in producing physical things. You won't be doing the same task all day the mix of turning, welding, blasting, and finishing keeps the work engaging. If you've ever enjoyed working with your hands, building things, or operating machinery whether professionally or as a hobby this is worth applying for.

Why join Temperature Specialists

• Genuine variety of fabrication work lathe turning, welding, cutting, finishing, and more in a single role

• Comprehensive in-house training no prior machining or fabrication experience required

• Stable, full-time position with a specialty manufacturer of custom-engineered precision products

Opportunity to develop a broad, in-demand skill set across multiple fabrication and metalworking processes
