• Minimum 2 years of CNC spindle repair, industrial maintenance, or precision mechanical work
• Proficient with precision measuring tools — micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, dynamic balancing equipment
• Manual lathe and grinding experience
• Ability to read blueprints, manuals, and diagrams
• Willingness to travel on short notice including overnight and weekends
• Strong documentation and computer skills
• Detail-oriented, self-starter, quality-focused mindset

Nice to Have

• CNC machine operation and basic G-code programming
• Experience coordinating with engineering and customer service teams

Benefits

• 401(k)
• Health, Vision & Dental Insurance
