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

- 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
- 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
