Shape Lives, One Micron at a Time
Join our 2nd or 3rd shift team producing precision medical implants and surgical instruments. As a Precision CNC Machining Specialist, you’ll set up and run multi-axis CNC mills and lathes, verify quality with advanced inspection methods, and help maintain production equipment in a temperature-controlled environment.
A Day in Your Shift
- Begin with safety and readiness: complete required equipment checks and basic maintenance before any manufacturing starts.
- Review documentation: confirm prior operation sign-offs and verify part counts before you press cycle start.
- Check measurement readiness: confirm gauges and handheld tools (calipers, micrometers) are calibrated, in-date, and in top condition.
- Load/unload medical implants for machining and manage part flow through operations.
- Run CNC programs, make thoughtful offsets, and verify dimensional accuracy using GD&T principles and advanced inspection & gauge measurement practices.
- Protect traceability: follow established protocols to maintain product/document ID; stop and escalate if any identification is unclear.
- Reference the right information: consult applicable drawings, specifications, Manufacturing Process Instructions, and your department’s Standard Process Instructions for each operation.
- Document with precision: capture work in work orders, inspection sheets, maintenance logs, and digital systems like Machine Metrics and Net Inspect.
How You’ll Grow
Within your first year, you’ll develop from minor setups to full setups, including program downloads and complete CNC operation on both mill and lathe platforms.
What You Bring
- At least 1 year of CNC machining experience in metal manufacturing preferred (seasoned operators may be considered for a senior track).
- Fluency reading and interpreting manufacturing prints/blueprints.
- Hands-on skill with calipers and micrometers; solid math and basic computer skills.
- Working knowledge of CNC tooling, G-code, and M-code; comfort applying GD&T and advanced inspection & gauge measurement.
Who Thrives Here
- Self-starters energized by a fast-paced environment and varied product mix (no two days are the same).
- Curious learners ready to deepen their understanding of manufacturing processes.
- Reliable teammates who communicate clearly, plan across teams, and show up when it counts.
- People who appreciate a close-knit culture where we look out for each other.
What You Won’t Experience
- Feeling stuck — clear pathways to advance and learn.
- Monotony — high product variety keeps work engaging.
- Being a number — a supportive, tight-knit team has your back.
Rewards & Support
- Competitive pay with comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- PTO plus 10 paid holidays annually.
- Employer-paid Basic Life, AD&D, STD, and LTD.
- 401(k) with company match and a generous referral bonus program.
- Tuition reimbursement and additional resources like travel assistance and EAP.
- Career growth in a thriving, performance-driven company that promotes from within.
- Community involvement and a clean, temperature-controlled workspace.
Equipment & Tech You’ll Use
