About Axis Technologies Since 1987, Axis Technologies, Inc. has delivered world‑class precision machined parts and sub‑assemblies from our Lowell, MA facility. We specialize in close‑tolerance CNC work across metals, plastics, and ceramics, with notable expertise in wave guides and complex assemblies for demanding markets.

A Day in the Role Start your morning reviewing open order reports and updates from production meetings. Move into calls with customers to confirm schedules and align expectations. Switch gears to analyze a new drawing: you apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T and DFM principles to suggest a tweak that improves machinability and cost. After lunch, you log into Paperless Parts to advance RFQs, issue a purchase order to a subcontractor, and sync with suppliers on lead times.

You close the day in Vista, updating order status and collaborating with managers to match sales commitments to capacity.
