We manufacture precision ball screws and linear components for aerospace, medical, and defense. We need someone who has run thread rolling machines: set them up, dialed them in, and held tight tolerances. If that's you, keep reading.


Hard Requirements

  • 2-3+ years operating and setting up thread rolling machines, this is required, not preferred
  • Experience producing acme or lead screws is strongly preferred
  • Must be able to read blueprints and work to print
  • Must be able to inspect your own parts using mics, calipers, and indicators
  • Must be comfortable with shop math, if you've used it on the job, be ready to talk through it
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
  • Must be a U.S. person (citizen or lawful permanent resident) – required by U.S. export control law

If you don't have direct thread rolling experience, this role isn't the right fit.

  • Inspect your own output, you own the quality of what you make

  • Document inspection results and production data accurately
  • Flag problems when you see them, we don't work around issues here
  • Follow work instructions and AS9100/ISO 9001 procedures
  • Keep your workstation clean, organized, and safe

What It's Like to Work Here:

  • Climate-controlled facility, no harsh shop conditions
  • Exposure to advanced equipment: Swiss CNC lathes, multi-axis mills, precision grinders
  • Team of machinists and engineers who take their work seriously
  • Opportunity for training and career growth
  • Consistent day shift, no rotating schedules
  • Your work goes into aerospace, defense, and medical systems. The parts you make matter to the end customer, we don't lose sight of that
  • We move with urgency, but we don't cut corners to get there
