• Working knowledge of G and M codes for understanding and editing CNC programs.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and apply tolerancing requirements.
• Proficiency using micrometers and calipers to inspect and verify part dimensions.
• Experience performing basic machine edits, tool changes, and routine maintenance.
• Comfort working in a production job shop environment with shorter run times and frequent setups.
• Ability to machine materials such as stainless steel and brass while maintaining tight tolerances.

• Experience with CNC lathes, including 3-axis lathes with live tooling, is highly beneficial.
• changeovers, setups, and production machining across multiple machines.
• Familiarity with live tooling operations and multi-axis milling and turning.
• CNC programming experience is a plus and can provide additional growth opportunities.
• Attention to detail and a strong commitment to quality in safety-related components.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a family-oriented, mid-sized team environment of around 50 employees.

You will join a family-oriented company culture that values flexibility, teamwork, and long-term growth.
