Precision Toolroom Machinist – Die Repair

Is this you?

• Do you instinctively reach for a dial indicator when a die won’t hold clearance?
• Can you move from root-cause analysis to a clean, documented fix without skipping a step?
• Are you comfortable heat-treating, hand-fitting, and validating assemblies before first shot?

What you will do

• Diagnose and repair complex Tool and Die failures with speed and precision.
• Author setup, PM, and troubleshooting procedures that others can easily follow.
• Perform heat treatment on tools and parts and validate results.
• Measure, mark, and scribe metal for machining and rework tasks.
• Hand-finish flat and contoured surfaces with scrapers, stones, and power grinders; assemble parts and mechanisms using hand tools.
• Confirm dimensions, alignments, and clearances using micrometers, thickness gauges, gauge blocks, and dial indicators.

What you bring

• Post-secondary technical education or certification preferred.
• 7+ years of Tool and Die experience.
• 5+ years applying measurement processes and understanding equipment capability to restore complex die sets.
• 2+ years with electronic drawings in AutoCAD, Pro-E, or SolidWorks; able to modify existing prints.
• 2+ years performing heat-treat operations on tooling components.
• Proven ability in failure analysis, reliability study execution, and performance optimization.
• Fluent in reading quality reports and applying test methods.

How we work

• Functional/Technical Skills and Technical Learning drive our craftsmanship.
• Peer Relationships and Developing Others keep knowledge flowing across shifts.
• Learning on the Fly helps us adapt to new dies, materials, and line speeds.

Physical realities of the job

• Regular standing, walking, reaching, and fine motor work with hands/fingers.
• Climbing and balancing (ladders/lifts) and mobility in confined spaces (stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl).
• Clear communication and hearing required; occasional sitting.
• Occasional lifting and moving of items over 50 lbs.
• Consistent need for close and color vision.
• Occasional exposure to outdoor weather and electrical hazards.
• Factory environment: very loud at times; potential contact with hazardous materials and slick/greasy floors.

• Troubleshooting complex tooling issues
• Tool/Die/Mold repair to production-ready condition
• Tool/Die/Mold setup for repeatable, high-quality runs

Tools and tech you’ll handle
