  • Interpret blueprints, GD&T, and technical specifications
  • Troubleshoot machining and process issues
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Management to produce stable, repeatable processes
  • Work with titanium, molybdenum, stainless steel alloys and other difficult alloys
  • Edit setup sheets and recommend process improvements
  • Perform tooling and process research
  • Document job activity, time, and nonconformance in our ERP system
  • Partner with Process Engineering on new product introduction (NPI) and continuous improvement

 

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of advanced machining experience
  • Strong CNC setup expertise - multi-axis preferred
  • Tooling, feeds & speeds, workholding and material behavior experience
  • Ability to read and interpret complex technical drawings and specs
  • Excellent measurement skills, including tight tolerances
  • Strong communication skills and team collaboration
  • Deep understanding of best machining/manufacturing practices
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset focused on quality
  • Safety conscience with all aspects of the shop

 

Compensation

  • $30 – $40/hour
  • Sign-on bonus available

 

Why Means Engineering?

  • Medical, dental, vision + supplemental plans
  • 401(k)
  • PTO + paid year-end shutdown
  • Clean, organized and temperature controlled shop
  • Advanced equipment (2-5-axis machines)
  • Stable, long-term employment with consistent hours
