$28–$35.50/hour | First Shift | Company-Paid Employee Health Insurance
Do you prefer building precision parts from raw material instead of loading a machine and pressing a button?
We’re looking for an experienced Tool Maker/Machinist to manufacture low-volume, high-precision components, prototypes, fixtures, and tooling for automation and aerospace applications. This first-shift opportunity is ideal for a well-rounded machinist who can read a print, determine the best machining approach, and independently take a part from concept to completion.
Compensation & Benefits
- $28–$35.50/hour, based on experience
- First-shift schedule
- Employee health insurance fully covered by the company
- HSA health plan option
- 401(k) with company-funded profit sharing
- Up to four weeks of PTO
- Seven personal or sick days
- Company-paid life insurance
- Short- and long-term disability coverage
What You’ll Do
- Manufacture machine components, prototypes, fixtures, tooling, and aerospace parts
- Operate CNC knee mills, lathes, surface grinders, and other machine-shop equipment
- Program, set up, and run your own work
- Fabricate parts and assemblies from raw material
- Read and interpret blueprints, specifications, job orders, and GD&T callouts
- Machine low-quantity parts to tolerances of ±0.0005 inch or tighter
- Inspect completed parts using precision measuring equipment
- Adjust machine settings, tooling, and processes to maintain accuracy and quality
- Assemble fixtures, tooling, and mechanical components
- Collaborate with engineers and other machinists to solve manufacturing challenges
- Perform routine machine maintenance
Required Qualifications
- At least five years of practical machining or tool-making experience
- Strong experience operating knee mills, lathes, and surface grinders
- Ability to independently program, set up, and operate machine-shop equipment
- Experience producing parts from raw material through final inspection
- Ability to read and interpret complex prints and GD&T
- Proven ability to hold tolerances of ±0.0005 inch or tighter
- Experience using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, optical comparators, and related inspection equipment
- Must provide personal tools and measuring equipment
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
- Self-directed and capable of working with limited supervision
- Strong mechanical aptitude, organization, and attention to detail
- Ability to communicate and work effectively with engineers and machinists
Preferred Experience
- Conversational machine programming
- Machining steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and exotic aerospace materials
- Welding, fabrication, and mechanical assembly
- Automation equipment or machine-building experience
If you’re the person coworkers call when a difficult print, tight tolerance, or one-off part lands in the shop, this role should feel right at home.
