Precision CNC Lathe Machinist, Hard‑Turn GD&T Specialist

Build precision that powers products

Join a team where craftsmanship meets rigor. You’ll transform detailed prints into dependable CNC lathe programs and repeatable setups, delivering hard-turned parts that meet the tightest tolerances.

Your impact

• Own the full cycle: program, set up, and operate CNC lathes while maintaining quality, safety, accurate records, and the upkeep of equipment/supplies.
• Author programs from drawings using Mazatrol or G/M code with expert command of GD&T (Mazatrol T, T32, Smart, Smooth X preferred; CELOS familiarity welcomed).
• Validate dimensions with precision tools and make fine adjustments to hold 0.0001″ tolerances.
• Evaluate surfaces and edges; categorize nonconforming parts by defect type for proper disposition.
• Fixture with confidence: mount, align, and secure tools, attachments, fixtures, and workpieces using precision methods.
• Follow machining sequences—stop machines to remove parts or reconfigure tooling, setup, or part placement as required.
• Leverage connected manufacturing by transferring programs from servers to CNC controls via the network.
• Set up and efficiently run moderate through highly complex components on CNC lathes.
• Meet stringent engineering specifications and interpret complex engineering drawings.
• Champion continuous improvement across quality, safety, and throughput.
• Create clear setup sheets, tool lists, and supporting documentation to enable fast, repeatable production.
• Collaborate closely with Manufacturing Management and Machinists for smooth shift handoffs and process updates.
• Execute routine PM (grease, oil, coolant, filters) to maximize machine reliability.

What you need
