Job Description

Job Description

Step Into a Day on the Floor

At our modern Muskego, WI facility, your shift starts with a blueprint in hand and a plan in mind. You review specs, choose tooling, and bring a CNC machine online with a clean, accurate setup. As parts run, you listen for telltale changes, watch gauges, and make smart adjustments so every component meets print.

What You’ll Do
  • Own CNC setups and operation to produce precise parts to specification.
  • Translate drawings and blueprints into accurate machine actions and G-code strategies.
  • Monitor cycle progress, verify dimensions, and fine-tune offsets to hold tolerance and finish.
  • Troubleshoot issues and perform routine maintenance to keep equipment reliable.
  • Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with teammates to streamline processes and boost throughput.
  • Keep your cell organized and safe, following established safety protocols.
  • Document setups, tooling, and run notes to create repeatable, efficient processes.
What You Bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent; machining coursework or certification preferred.
  • Hands‑on experience as a CNC Machinist (setup and operation).
  • Solid understanding of CNC programming and machine operation.
  • Fluency reading/understanding technical prints and specifications.
  • Accuracy mindset with a passion for high‑quality results.
  • Comfort working independently and collaborating in a fast‑moving shop.
  • Mechanical aptitude with strong problem‑solving instincts.
Tools & Techniques You’ll Use
  • CAM Software: Mastercam, GibbsCAM
  • Troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis
  • Tape measure and basic precision measurement
  • CNC machine setup and changeover for production runs
  • Manual machining fundamentals
Why It Matters

Your craft turns prints into real‑world parts that meet tight tolerances, fueling our team’s reputation for quality and reliability. If you’re driven by precision and take pride in a clean, efficient setup, you’ll thrive here in Muskego.
