We are a growing precision grinding company producing close-tolerance components for customers in the medical/dental, aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and industrial engine industries , along with other demanding industrial applications. Historically known for our precision-ground tungsten carbide inserts used in surgical instruments, Abrasive West has expanded into new markets, materials, and applications. We are looking for a dependable machine operator who wants to develop their skills and grow with us as our capabilities and customer base continue to expand. What You'll Do Set up and operate CNC creep-feed and surface grinding equipment to produce precision components to customer specifications. Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, routings, and dimensional requirements. Make machine adjustments and offsets as necessary to maintain dimensional requirements. Inspect parts during production using precision measuring equipment such as micrometers, indicators, microscopes, comparators, and other gauges . Monitor part quality throughout the manufacturing process and identify potential problems before producing nonconforming parts. Maintain required production and inspection records. Meet established production rates while maintaining quality requirements. Coordinate with other operators, supervisors, inspection, and support personnel to maintain production flow. Perform routine machine maintenance and maintain a clean, organized work area. Follow established safety, quality, and manufacturing procedures. Take ownership of assigned jobs from setup through completion. What We're Looking For Required 2+ years of CNC machine operation, precision machining, or precision grinding experience preferred. Experience using precision hand-measuring equipment such as micrometers, indicators, calipers, or similar gauges. Ability to read and understand mechanical blueprints, dimensions, and tolerances. Mechanical aptitude and ability to understand how machine adjustments affect the finished part. Ability to consistently produce parts to close dimensional tolerances. Basic computer skills for electronic timecards, production records, and email. High school diploma or equivalent. Dependable attendance and ability to work effectively as part of a growing manufacturing team. Highly Preferred Previous CNC creep-feed grinding or surface grinding experience . Experience setting up CNC machine tools. Experience machining or grinding tungsten carbide, hardened steels, superalloys, or other difficult-to-machine materials . Experience producing close-tolerance components for aerospace, medical, turbine, or other highly controlled industries. Familiarity with GD&T. Experience with optical inspection equipment or microscopes. Experience with our specific machines or CNC controllers is not required. We will train an experienced machine operator on our equipment and processes. Export Control / ITAR Requirements Abrasive West serves customers in industries that may involve ITAR-controlled or other export-controlled products and technical information . This position may require access to controlled drawings, specifications, manufacturing information, equipment, and/or components.
