Why Join Us?

• Master-Level Craftsmanship: Work on industry-defining jig grinders, ultra-precision spindles, and high-stakes aerospace components.

• Heritage of Excellence: Be part of a legendary manufacturing legacy operating under rigorous ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards.

Are you ready to shape the pinnacle of precision? Apply today.

Responsibilities

• Hand-assemble complex mechanical systems, machine tool sub-assemblies (such as jig grinder air-head spindles or slide ways), and ultra-precision metrology components.
• Perform traditional and modern hand-scraping, lapping, and fine-fitting of cast-iron and hardened steel components to achieve sub-micron/millionths-of-an-inch geometric accuracy.
• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) callouts, and assembly blueprints.
• Set up and operate manual or CNC machine tools (lathes, mills, surface grinders) to modify, fit, or re-work parts during the assembly process.
• Use high-grade inspection equipment (micrometers, dial indicators, autocollimators, or electronic measuring tools) to verify squareness, parallelism, and location tolerances.
• Diagnose mechanical alignment issues, calibrate travel paths/lead screws, and test-run assembled machine tools to meet factory standards.
