About The Position

For more than 70 years, Senior Metal Bellows has been pushing the limits of innovation—designing and building custom-engineered metal bellows for industries that demand the best: aerospace, defense, energy, and beyond. We don’t just sell — we solve. Join a team that’s redefining what’s possible through innovation, strategy, and relationships that move industries forward. This role involves working from blueprints, route sheets, and written instructions to produce high-quality components, demonstrating strong attention to detail in every step of the process. The operator will set up and run hydraulic and mechanical presses ranging from 150 tons to 1,200 tons, ensuring safe and precise operation. The position also includes performing rubber-to-metal stamping (experience preferred but not required; training provided) and working with various materials, including Inconel (Inco), AM350, and titanium strip stock with thicknesses ranging from .001" to .008", maintaining accuracy and consistency. The operator will perform set-ups (or request assistance for complex set-ups) and conduct in-process inspections per ES Specifications to ensure all parts meet dimensional and quality requirements. They will maintain set-ups and make minor adjustments as needed, escalating unusual issues to the supervisor. Product quality will be verified using quantitative charting methods such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and a range of precision measuring tools, including contour readers and non-contact measuring systems, with meticulous attention to detail. Basic computer skills will be used to perform labor transactions and other required system functions with accuracy and completeness.
