About The Position

The Mills Machinist III operates and sets up machining equipment to produce workpieces that meet drawing specifications and quality standards. The role requires 7–10 years of relevant experience, knowledge of Fanuc controllers, a strong understanding of GD&T and datum structures, and familiarity with machine probing; Renishaw is preferred. The machinist uses precision instruments to inspect finished parts, monitors machine operation, and adjusts tooling, feeds, speeds, controls, and programs as needed. The position also involves setting up fixtures, tools, and programs for first-run and repeat parts, writing simple programs, and using probe routines and machine macros. The role requires knowledge of machine tools, machining equipment, trigonometry, metallurgy, blueprint reading, inspection techniques, and CNC program management. Training areas listed include 5S and Lean Manufacturing, documentation and Modern’s Production System, SPC charts and tools, machine applications, tooling and fixtures, and adjusting boring heads. A crane/hoist operator certification is a special requirement. Physical requirements include lifting up to 35 pounds, lifting pieces with hoists or cranes, and standing for periods of time.
