We run five facilities across the Midwest and serve aerospace, medical, defense, and injection mold customers — work that's harder to find under one roof anywhere else in the region. We do precision repair, modification and assembly that most weld shops can't touch. Our team machines the parts that go into our own laser-welded assemblies and the custom automation our engineers build for our customers.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>What that means for you: your work is visible end-to-end. You see the customer, you know the part, and you watch it ship. There's no production black box.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">WHAT THIS ROLE IS</span></p>\n<p>We're hiring a CNC Lathe Programmer / Machinist — and we're open to the right person at any experience level, from operator with programming curiosity through senior programmer. We'll start you at the level that fits your skills today and build a path to where you want to go.</p>\n<p>You'll work from prints and 3D models to program, set up, and run CNC lathe jobs across a high-mix shop. You'll have senior programmers to learn from, real ownership of the work that comes through your machine, and a clear ladder up.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">CAREER PATH</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">CNC Lathe Operator — </span>Run jobs, learn setups, read prints.

We'll tell you exactly what each step requires.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">WHAT YOU’LL DO</span></p>\n<p><em>(Scope depends on your level.)</em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read prints and 3D models (including GD&amp;T callouts) and translate them into CNC lathe programs.</li>\n<li>Program in CAM (we run ESPRIT — happy to train you if your background is Mastercam, Fusion, or another modern CAM).</li>\n<li>Set up CNC lathes, choose tooling, dial in feeds and speeds.</li>\n<li>Run parts, inspect first articles, and document FAIs.</li>\n<li>Troubleshoot when a setup or program isn’t behaving — with someone senior next to you when you’re learning.</li>\n<li>Look for ways to shave cycle time, extend tool life, and improve quality. Your ideas will get heard.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Required (any level)</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comfortable reading prints, including GD&amp;T symbols and callouts.</li>\n<li>CNC lathe experience — operating, setting up, or programming.

We’d rather start you fairly than haggle.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">BENEFITS</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Health coverage — </span>Health, dental, and vision insurance — choice of two plans: a fully company-paid plan, or a premium plan with employee contribution.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Income protection — </span>Company-paid life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Retirement — </span>Simple IRA with up to 3% employer match.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Holidays — </span>8 paid holidays, including the day after Thanksgiving.</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Paid time off — </span>Paid time off that grows with tenure, up to four weeks annually.
