$23.00/hr - $25.00/hr

Location: Franklin, IN |
Job Type: Full time

We build complex, high-accuracy tooling and components for customers across automotive, aerospace, and general industrial markets. Our teams combine advanced manufacturing technology with deep craft to deliver consistent, top-tier quality.

When you arrive on the shop floor, you review the schedule and open travelers, load fixtures, confirm tools, and validate offsets on CNC lathes, mills, and occasional grinders. With prints and CAD models at your station, you cut the first piece, verify critical dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and CMM support as needed, then dial in the process for repeatability. Throughout the shift, you keep machines running, document production data, troubleshoot issues, and partner with engineering to trim cycle time while protecting quality.

Before you wrap up, you perform light preventive maintenance, leave your area organized, and note any mechanical concerns for follow-up.
