Machinist -II

Overview

As a successful Machinist, you will be responsible for all aspects of creating and/or modifying raw and WIP materials using CNC and manual machining techniques. Responsibilities include creating and modifying programs to accommodate new products and parts and improve efficiency of existing machining operations. You will review blueprints and other technical drawings to ensure proper transformations into raw / WIP materials and finished components.

You will work with the facilities and maintenance team to ensure equipment and tools are well-maintained and operating optimally. You will ensure all parts created and machined meet our quality standards and product specifications. In parallel with the physical machining of parts, you will continuously review processes and propose improvements to best serve our customers.
