Experienced Machinist / Toolmaker (No Recruiters)

Experienced Machinist/ Toolmaker - Full or Part Time ABOUT US We are a small, specialized company supporting the semiconductor manufacturing industry through consumable and aftermarket parts manufacturing, and custom part modification. We are a lean, close-knit team where quality is non-negotiable and every person's contribution matters. We are seeking an experienced machinist / tool maker to take full ownership of our machine shop — a role held for 26 years by a craftsman who recently retired. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION JOB If you are accustomed to loading stock, pushing a button, and waiting for parts to drop — this is not the role for you. This is a job shop. You may machine one part or six. You may never see that part again, or it may come back in three months with a revision or in a different material. Every day is different. You will be expected to read the print, determine the approach, set up the machine, and make it happen — without someone looking over your shoulder. We are looking for a machinist who takes pride in the craft, can improvise when needed, and brings the kind of experience that no amount of button-pushing can replace.
