CNC Machinist

Federal Mfg•Perrysburg, OH

15d•$20 - $30•Onsite

About The Position

Lako, a product brand of ProMach, is seeking a skilled and motivated machinist for its Perrysburg, Ohio team. This position sets up and operates CNC mills and lathes to produce high-quality precision components safely, efficiently, and on time. The machinist interprets blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T, work instructions, and product specifications; determines dimensions, tolerances, machining parameters, and operation sequences; and selects and sets up appropriate tooling and fixtures. The role also involves inspecting parts, modifying or reworking components as needed, and applying machining practices, shop mathematics, knowledge of metal properties, mechanical principles, and manufacturing processes to meet quality standards. Work takes place in a high-mix, low-volume job-shop environment, with collaboration across engineering, tooling, and grinding departments. The posting identifies the role as first shift. It also contains a conflicting introductory JOB DESCRIPTION about an equipment/machine assembler; the detailed machining responsibilities and requirements are used here because they correspond to the CNC Machinist title.

Requirements

At least 3 years of CNC machining experience.
Experience with vertical and/or horizontal machining.
Experience machining tight-tolerance components for high-precision assemblies.
Ability to interpret and modify G and M code.
Comfort running programs written by others.
Excellent attention to detail.

Nice To Haves

Fourth- and fifth-axis machining experience.
Familiarity with CAD/CAM software such as MasterCAM, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360.
Surface, OD/ID, or jig grinding experience.

Responsibilities

Set up and operate CNC mills and/or lathes, including vertical, horizontal, and multi-axis machines.
Interpret blueprints, GD&T, work instructions, engineering drawings, and product specifications to determine machining requirements.
Review tooling instructions, select and set up fixtures, and determine feed rates, machining parameters, and operation sequences.
Verify dimensions using micrometers, calipers, height gages, bore gages, and other precision instruments.
Maintain specified tight tolerances, often within ±0.0001″ depending on the component.
Make tooling, offset, and program adjustments using G and M codes as required.
Run existing CNC programs and make minor edits for efficiency or dimensional accuracy.
Machine a variety of metals and non-metal materials as required.
Inspect parts during and after machining to confirm quality standards and compliance with prints.
Modify, repair, or rework parts and assemblies as needed.
Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area.
Collaborate with engineering, tooling, and grinding departments as needed.
