At Hirsh Precision, we push productivity and innovation for world‑class partners in medical, aerospace, industrial, and scientific markets. If you thrive on dialing in a setup, shaving seconds off cycle time, and mentoring others while delivering flawless parts, read on. Your Challenge Can you take a CNC or Swiss lathe from zero to stable production—selecting tooling and workholding, loading programs, setting offsets, and validating the first piece? Will you maintain tight tolerances through the run using micrometers, indicators, bore gauges, height gauges, and rigorous in‑process checks? When chatter appears or a bore drifts, do you diagnose root causes—feeds/speeds, fixturing, setup, or machine behavior—and implement fixes fast? Are you comfortable running multiple machines, tracking cycle times, and keeping schedules intact—while documenting setups, downtime, and output? Do you share what you know—coaching Machinist I teammates and apprentices—and communicate clearly with engineering, quality, maintenance, and supervisors? What Success Looks Like Attendance at 98% or higher and daily goal attainment at 90% or better. Scrap held to 2% or less, with setup times meeting or beating standard. High machine utilization and low avoidable downtime. Consistent delivery of in‑spec parts, minimal rework, and visible leadership in problem solving. Must-Haves High school diploma or GED preferred 3+ years of machining or CNC experience, or equivalent capability Independent CNC setup and operation skills Strong blueprint reading with GD&T fluency Proficiency using precision inspection tools Dependable attendance and punctuality Nice-to-Haves Experience with 4-axis and 5-axis machining centers CAM or program editing exposure Background in high‑mix, tight‑tolerance work Vocational/technical machining education How You'll Work Follow all safety procedures, PPE, and machine guarding requirements.
