We’re a stable, family-owned precision machining company in Tempe, AZ, supporting the aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor industries. Our shop is clean, well-organized, air-conditioned (all summer!), and run by people who understand machining, not by corporate layers.
We’re growing steadily and looking for an experienced or mid-level CNC Lathe Machinist who wants a stable, long-term home where their work genuinely matters and is recognized.
Why our employees love working here:
• Culture - We see employees are part of our family, and each person plays a big role in achieving our goals. Your ideas and input matter and make a difference. We don't see people as just a number. We value each employee and what they bring to the table.

• Growth & Learning Opportunities - When we hire employees, we invest in them. Our experienced team provides training on new equipment and machining techniques, as well as a full GD&T course. If you’re ready to take on new challenges and lead projects, we want to help you grow.
• Competitive Pay & Benefits - We recognize experience and hard work offering competitive wages, health benefits, and career advancement incentives.
• Diverse Work Load - We machine a good mix of thermoplastics like ultem, teflon, and vespel as well as metals such as aluminum, stainless, titanium and inconel. Tolerances can be as tight as +/- .001"

• 3+ years experience running CNC lathes
• Understanding of GD&T principles, reading blueprints
