Our company is seeking a skilled Machinist to join our team on the 2nd shift. This role is focused on operating and programming advanced machines to produce precision parts, with a strong emphasis on CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) programming and operation. The ideal candidate will have a background in machining and a strong aptitude for learning CMM programming. Experience with AutoCAD and CNC machining is particularly beneficial, as those skills will translate well into the training process for CMM programming. You will collaborate closely with engineering and production teams to support both daily operations and new product development.

Utilize and program CMM equipment to inspect parts, ensuring adherence to strict quality standards and tolerances.
Interpret blueprints and technical drawings to determine machining processes and ensure accurate part specifications.
Apply precision measuring tools (such as micrometers, comparators, and calipers) to ensure part quality and dimensional accuracy.
Adjust feeds and speeds based on material and part specifications to optimize machining performance.
Maintain tight tolerances (±.001”) during the machining process.
Assist in tooling and fixture design and fabrication to support machining operations.
Follow safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment (including Lockout/Tagout).
Perform routine machine maintenance and document activities using maintenance tracking software (TMS).

Requirements:

High school diploma or GED required.
A 2-year machining degree or certificate is preferred.
At least 1 year of experience in machining (milling, drilling, turning, grinding).
Experience with AutoCAD and CNC machining is a plus and will be highly beneficial for candidates interested in training as a CMM programmer.
Experience with CMM programming and usage is preferred but not required—training will be provided.
Basic knowledge of CNC programming is an advantage.
Strong ability to read and interpret detailed blueprints and perform basic math, including metric conversions.
Physical ability to lift up to 40 lbs and stand for extended periods.

Work Environment:

Manufacturing environment with exposure to machinery, noise, and heat.
Requires regular standing, climbing, reaching, and lifting.
