The ideal candidate is confident independently making decisions regarding machining strategy, work holding, and tooling as well as estimating time required to complete critical tasks. The candidate is proficient operating CAM software, setting up machines, running parts and inspecting critical features. This is a great opportunity for a skilled machinist ready to take ownership and operate at a higher level in an environment your impact is seen and known. Essential Skills & Qualifications: “Team First” mentality showing strong communication skills both written and verbal with a commitment to the overall goal (not just individual targets). Ability to perform as a technical lead on the shop floor for other team members. Strong organizational skill set with proven ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously.

Able and willing to perform assembly operations for parts & products. Able to perform machine maintenance as needed. Inspection abilities utilizing basic measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gage blocks, height gage, etc.) Strong ability to read and interpret prints including tolerances, print notes, etc. Desire to work with your hands and on your feet in a fast-paced environment with a high-performance culture.

What Success Looks Like: You meet with business owner to determine weekly production schedule collaborating to determine what runs on what machine, set production targets, and determine what’s needed to achieve goals. New parts are independently programmed, set up, and machined with minimal input from manager once schedule is set. Production problems are creatively solved using strong mechanical background and experience as they arise. Less experienced team members learn from you as you act as a technical lead on the shop floor. You identify improvements in our processes and equipment that can help us increase efficiency, throughput, and quality in both parts and our working lives.
