Precision Machinist — Build, Create, and Innovate With Us
If you take pride in craftsmanship, love solving technical challenges, and want to work with advanced machining equipment, this is a great opportunity to sharpen your skills and grow your career. In this role, you’ll work independently within a machining cell—setting up, adjusting, and operating a variety of precision machines—and you’ll play a key part in building high‑quality components that support our mission.
What You Will Do:
Run Advanced Precision Equipment
- Set up and operate lathes, grinders, milling machines, and other precision tools to verify performance and ensure parts meet customer specifications.
- Use your knowledge of prints, sketches, diagrams, specifications, and shop math—including trigonometry and descriptive geometry—to plan and perform work accurately.
Own Your Work From Start to Finish
- Determine machining methods and sequences to maximize machine capacity and minimize setups.
- Select the right tools, fixtures, and attachments for each assignment, identifying problems and taking corrective action when needed.
- Perform finishing, bench work, and hand‑tool operations to bring parts to their final specification.
Ensure Accuracy and Quality
- Use calipers, gauges, micrometers, dial indicators, and other precision measuring tools to verify part conformance.
- Confirm part finish, alignment, tolerances, and functionality.
- Provide feedback on part quality and contribute to continuous improvement.
Use Your Technical Insight
- Interpret drawings and specification manuals to plan machining sequences.
- Monitor machine systems—including mechanical, electrical/electronic components, probes, sensors, and cutter data—to make proper adjustments.
- Work across multiple information systems to support your tasks.
Support Smooth Operations
- Collaborate with customers, support teams, and your supervisor to resolve design or developmental challenges.
- Coordinate, prepare, and move materials in your assigned area, including receiving, storing, issuing, and helping correct discrepancies.
What You Will Bring:
- A high school diploma or equivalent
- 2–5 years of machinist experience in a manufacturing environment
What Makes You Stand Out:
- Completion of a machining apprenticeship or equivalent hands‑on training
- Experience with Esprit CAD/CAM or CREO Manufacturing software
- A Q‑Clearance (or ability to obtain one)
Why You’ll Love This Role
- You’ll work with advanced equipment and grow your technical capabilities.
- You’ll have autonomy to solve problems and make decisions.
- You’ll join a team that values precision, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
- Every part you make contributes to something bigger—supporting critical national work and cutting‑edge technology.
