Job Description
Overview Lomar is a shop that still values skill. Manual machining isn't something we've phased out it's something we rely on. At Lomar, we build custom products, which means there are no shortcuts and skill matters every step of the way. This isn't copy-and-paste programming or push-button manufacturing. Sometimes the print is just the starting point; the real work happens at the machine, dialing in setups, making adjustments, solving problems, and getting it right. As a tool maker, you'll produce custom parts to precise specifications using manual lathes, Bridgeport mills, and surface grinders. You'll play a key role in the complete tool build and assembly process, working closely with Design Engineers during tryouts, troubleshooting, and final machine development. If you take pride in craftsmanship, critical thinking, and seeing a project through from concept to completion, this is the opportunity for you. What you'll work with Manual Bridgeport milling Custom, low-volume production parts Prints that often require interpretation and setup decisions Hands-on adjustments at the machine not just running programs What you bring A machinist who thrives here spots problems before they become scrap.

We are a team-oriented work environment. You will have an opportunity to work on custom, precision tooling projects At Lomar, you're not just making parts you're building components for custom machines used by customers around the world. You'll see the full process, from raw stock to a machine running in production, and you'll have a real hand in how it gets there. How to Apply Email resume to hrmanager@lomar.
