Precision Tooling Machinist (EDM/CNC)

Job Description

Job Description

Precision Tooling Machinist (EDM/CNC) A day in the toolroom

You clock in, scan the work queue, and pull the day’s drawings. A complex extrusion die needs a tweak, a new fixture must be roughed and finished, and a set of gauges is due before end of shift. You load the Wire EDM, choose tooling, post a fresh CAD/CAM program, and chase tolerances measured in thousandths. Between cycles, you verify with micrometers and depth mics, mentor a newer teammate on a setup, and keep the shop tidy and safe. By the time you power down, the line has the tooling it needs—on spec and on time.

What you will handle
  • Design, build, repair, and maintain tools, dies, jigs, gauges, fixtures, extrusion dies, and calibrators
  • Set up and operate Wire EDM (WEDM), CNC mills, and conventional/manual machines
  • Create and edit CNC programs using CAD/CAM software; post and prove out programs at the machine
  • Interpret blueprints and specifications to produce components to tight tolerances
  • Use precision metrology tools, including calipers, micrometers, and depth micrometers
  • Meet deadlines while ensuring accuracy, fit, and finish of all tooling
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe toolroom environment
  • Support and follow the Quality Management System (QMS)
  • Participate in safety training and ongoing upskilling
  • Coach and support newer or developing shop teammates
  • Drive a positive culture and continuous improvement efforts
  • Pitch in with additional tasks as needed to help the team
Qualifications to succeed Required
  • Technical College training in Machine/Tool Processes or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a problem-solving mindset
  • Ability to read blueprints and confidently use precision measuring tools
  • Experience operating machining equipment
  • Reliable attendance and strong work ethic
Preferred
  • 4+ years as a Toolmaker or Machinist
  • CAD/CAM programming experience
  • Basic computer literacy
  • Solid math ability and strong organizational habits

  • Regularly lift up to 30 lbs; occasionally lift up to 60 lbs with assistance
  • Stand, walk, bend, stoop, reach, twist, and carry tools/materials during 8–12 hour shifts
  • Willingness to support a 24-hour / 5-day-per-week manufacturing operation
Why you will enjoy this role
  • Hands-on craftsmanship where your skill directly impacts production
  • A collaborative, team-first shop environment
  • Room to learn, grow, and contribute to continuous improvement
  • A culture that prioritizes safety, quality, and pride in workmanship
