• Preferred: Experience with Mastercam, SolidWorks, or NC programming software. 5-axis machining experience. Experience with Haas, Mazak, Fanuc, or similar controls.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Support cutting-edge technology and prototype development.
• Use advanced tooling and equipment.
• Join a highly skilled team in an innovative, collaborative environment.
• Gain opportunities for training and skill development.
• Build parts and equipment that help shape the future of technology.

Additional Job Information:

• 2nd shift: 2:00 PM 10:00 PM.
• 720 hour working probationary period.
