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.
