Automation Machinist- Entry Level

DeSHAZO LLC•Huntsville, AL

11h•Onsite

About The Position

The Entry Level Machinist is the starting point for a machining career at DeShazo — learning to set up and run CNC equipment, read prints, and produce mechanical components for our material handling equipment and automation systems, with hands-on guidance from experienced machinists. Most jobs here are custom, one-off parts, so you'll be learning to work through something new far more often than repeating a process you already know.

Requirements

High school diploma or GED, or current enrollment in a machining or manufacturing trade program.
Willingness to learn hands-on machining skills from experienced machinists — no prior shop experience required.
Basic computer skills (Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel).
Ability to read and follow written and verbal instructions closely.
Comfortable working on a variety of different parts rather than the same job repeatedly.

Nice To Haves

Any exposure to a machining, CNC, or manufacturing trade school program.
Some comfort with blueprints or basic shop math (fractions, decimals, geometry).
You've used calipers or micrometers before.
Forklift experience.

Responsibilities

Learn to safely operate CNC machining equipment under the guidance of experienced machinists.
Run proven jobs — load, cycle, unload, and check parts against the print.
Learn to read prints and BOMs, and check finished features and dimensions against them.
Use standard measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) to verify parts and hold size.
Learn to apply tool wear offsets, and recognize when something is off enough to stop and ask.
Build toward setting up and running your own jobs as your skills develop — including jobs with little or no repeat history.
Keep your workstation, tooling, and materials organized.
Ask questions and flag anything uncertain rather than guessing.
