Responsibilities

Operate precision grinding machinery, including CNC, ID/OD, honing, lapping, and polishing equipment, to manufacture and finish metal components.
Work with metal parts requiring extremely tight tolerances, including tolerances up to 50 millionths of an inch, while maintaining consistent quality.
Handle small components and perform repetitive production tasks with a high level of accuracy, focus, and attention to detail.
Inspect parts using no-go gauges, calipers, micrometers, and other precision measurement tools to verify that components meet all specifications.
Perform basic mathematical calculations to support measurement, setup, and inspection activities, and accurately record production and inspection data.
Follow established quality, safety, and production procedures to meet customer and manufacturing requirements.
Maintain a safe and organized work area and work comfortably around legacy and older grinding machines and equipment.
Monitor grinding equipment for proper operation and notify appropriate personnel of any issues that may affect quality or production.
Support finishing operations such as honing, lapping, and polishing to achieve required surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
Contribute to consistent on-time delivery by maintaining productivity and adhering to production schedules.

Essential Skills

Comfort working around older and legacy grinding machines and equipment.
Ability to work with and handle small parts with precision and care.

Some prior machine experience in a production, assembly, or manufacturing environment.
Ability to follow written and verbal instructions related to quality, safety, and production procedures.

Experience using gauges, calipers, micrometers, and other precision measuring instruments.
Technical schooling or CNC-related education, such as machining or manufacturing technology programs, is a strong plus.
Interest in expanding skills through additional machining or technical training opportunities.
Experience working in industries such as aerospace, automotive, or military manufacturing is beneficial but not required.

Why Work Here?
