Job Description

Shape precision parts on 2nd shift in Warsaw, IN

Picture your evening: you arrive at our temperature-controlled Warsaw, IN facility for your 2nd shift, review the work queue, and step up to an ANCA CNC grinder. You load the program, confirm tooling, and dial in the setup from the blueprint. As production runs, you verify every critical feature with calipers, micrometers, height and depth gauges, and the comparator—always to AQL and work instruction standards. If a dimension drifts, you troubleshoot, correct, and move forward. You sign off on your own setup and, when asked, you approve setups completed by teammates.

What you’ll take on

• Set up and operate ANCA CNC grinding equipment to manufacture parts per blueprints and documented procedures.
• Run production safely and consistently, following established operating guidelines.
• Perform in-process and final inspections using precision hand metrology tools (calipers, micrometers, height/depth gauges) and a comparator to meet AQL and work instruction criteria.
• Troubleshoot and resolve dimensional variances; verify and approve setups for other operators as needed.
• Accurately track completed and scrapped parts, complete production paperwork, and record data in the company system.
• Follow all company policies, procedures, and quality standards; perform additional duties as assigned.

Skills and experience that help you win here

• Proficient with precision measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, height and depth gauges.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and operation sheets to determine required machining steps.
• Working knowledge of G-Code and M-Code; strong computer aptitude.
• Collaborative approach with solid interpersonal communication.
• Self-directed and comfortable working with minimal supervision.

• Stagnation—clear paths to grow, learn, and advance.
