Machinist

$30 - $40 per hour

Means Engineering, Inc.

At Means Engineering, we don’t just manufacture parts — we create high-impact solutions across industries. As a vertically integrated contract manufacturer, everything happens under one roof: design, prototyping, machining, build, testing and delivery. That means faster innovation, tighter collaboration, and real ownership of your work.

Would a climate controlled, clean, organized and stocked shop help you to focus on contributing to impressive machining strategies? If you’re a highly skilled machinist who thrives on complex setups, tight tolerances, and solving real-world problems, this is the place for you. At Means Engineering, you won’t be stuck pushing buttons. You’ll take on complex work, use cutting-edge equipment, and be part of a team that respects skill.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform advanced CNC milling and turning setup

  • Inspect and verify parts to strict quality standards

  • Interpret blueprints, GD&T, and technical specifications

  • Troubleshoot machining and process issues

  • Collaborate with Engineering and Management to produce stable, repeatable processes

  • Work with titanium, molybdenum, stainless steel alloys and other difficult alloys

  • Edit setup sheets and recommend process improvements

  • Perform tooling and process research

  • Document job activity, time, and nonconformance in our ERP system

  • Partner with Process Engineering on new product introduction (NPI) and continuous improvement

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of advanced machining experience

  • Strong CNC setup expertise - multi-axis preferred

  • Tooling, feeds & speeds, workholding and material behavior experience

  • Ability to read and interpret complex technical drawings and specs

  • Excellent measurement skills, including tight tolerances

  • Strong communication skills and team collaboration

  • Deep understanding of best machining/manufacturing practices

  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset focused on quality

  • Safety conscience with all aspects of the shop

Compensation

  • $30 – $40/hour

  • Sign-on bonus available

Why Means Engineering?

  • Medical, dental, vision + supplemental plans

  • 401(k)

  • PTO + paid year-end shutdown

  • Clean, organized and temperature controlled shop

  • Advanced equipment (2-5-axis machines)

  • Stable, long-term employment with consistent hours

  • Collaborative, skilled team environment

Equal Opportunity Employer

We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
