About The Position

MPG delivers radio frequency (RF) spectrum-centric solutions at the speed of technology. We enable mission-critical communications and space-based missions with ruggedized RF components, subsystems, and turn-key solutions. Civilian government, military and commercial customers rely on MPG's deep engineering expertise, and scalable manufacturing capability to deliver what they need, when they need it. MPG operates engineering and manufacturing facilities in: Austin, TX; Columbia, MD; Ventura, CA; West Chester, OH; Salisbury, MD; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and York, United Kingdom. CNC machinists work with computer numeric controlled (CNC) heavy machinery from setup to operation to produce parts and tools from metal. CNC machinists make adjustments to the machine to control speed, material feed and path of the cut, as well as make sure the machines are set up properly, working well, and producing quality product. CNC machinists make sure their machines are working at full capacity, are stocked with needed materials, well-maintained and perform periodic checks on output. Using measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers and depth micrometers the operator will perform detailed inspection of parts and pieces, ensuring the product meets production guidelines. CNC machine operators report quality-control problems such as defects in raw material and finished products, suggesting changes and adjustments to both the raw materials and machine, while maintaining a clean workspace and wash or polish finished products when needed.
