About The Position

We’re hiring CNC Machinists for our rapidly growing custom machining department in a highly technical, low-volume/high-mix environment. We trust our machinists: you will regularly be handed a blueprint and raw forgings, and it will be up to you to set up the machine, tweak the program, and deliver flawless parts. Working hands-on with highly specialized, proprietary automated mills and lathes that are custom-tuned to our specific applications. Using your strong mechanical aptitude to understand the "why" behind every machining process. Building the high-performance components that power top-of-the-line consumer and industrial machines. If you thrive on precision, enjoy the dynamic challenge of learning specialized equipment, and want to make custom parts that actually matter, this is the shop for you.

Requirements
