This position is ideal for a hands-on machinist who values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement. Supervisory Responsibilities · None What You’ll Be Doing · Set up CNC grinding machines, including tooling, offsets, and adjustments. · Program and operate CNC grinders to meet exact blueprint and customer specifications. · Read and interpret detailed blueprints, prints, and technical documentation. · Inspect parts using precision measurement and quality control tools. · Monitor production quality throughout the process—catching issues before they become problems. · Troubleshoot quality concerns and communicate effectively with programmers and leadership. · Perform daily machine inspections to ensure safe, efficient operation. · Maintain organized, clean, and safe workstations. · Support continuous improvement and take ownership of your work. · Perform additional responsibilities as needed to support production goals.
