Job Description & How to Apply Below
It’s the start of your shift at Hirsh Precision. You pull up the next work order, load a program on a Mazak lathe, select the ideal insert, and dial in your offsets. A first-article passes inspection—micrometers, indicators, and height gauge confirm you’ve nailed the GD&T callouts. While that lot runs, you set up a Swiss lathe for the next job, balancing tool life, cycle time, and finish.
Midday, you’re the go-to resource for an apprentice who’s learning setup strategy. Later, you chase down a stubborn tolerance, adjust feeds and speeds, and document the improvement so it sticks. Before you clock out, you record production data, confirm machine utilization is strong, and hand off cleanly to the next operator.
About Hirsh Precision We’re a US manufacturing leader serving the medical, aerospace, industrial, and scientific sectors. Our teams leverage advanced manufacturing, software, and modern systems to push productivity and boost product innovation—always with integrity, quality, service, and excellence at the core. As we grow, we protect our culture and focus on work that improves people’s lives.
