We’re a precision manufacturer near Downers Grove serving aerospace, defense, and other high-spec sectors. We obsess over quality and back our craftspeople with a truly supportive environment. Ask yourself:
Is this you?
- Do you have 3+ years setting up and running OD/ID grinders like Landis, Studer, Tschudin, or Cincinnati?
- Can you consistently hit ultra-tight tolerances and deliver the specified finish?
- Are complex prints and GD&T callouts part of your daily routine?
- Do conventional grinding fundamentals—wheel selection and dressing—come naturally?
- Would teammates describe your attendance and safety mindset as rock-solid?
- Do you hold a high school diploma or equivalent (with trade/tech schooling as a plus)?
What you’ll do
- Set up and operate OD and ID cylindrical grinding machines to exact specifications.
- Plan and execute efficient changeovers while maintaining quality and throughput.
