Job Overview:

We’re seeking a hands-on Tool Room Associate to support our in-house tooling needs for our off shift — with a primary focus on grinding and machining operations. This role involves operating manual and CNC equipment, inspecting tooling components, and maintaining accurate records. Ideal candidates have a background in machining, strong attention to detail, and are comfortable reading blueprints and using precision measuring tools.

Key Responsibilities:

Grind and shape precision tooling components using manual and CNC machines such as grinders, lathes, and milling machines — ensuring each part meets exact specifications and performance standards.

Collaborate with engineers and toolmakers to interpret blueprints, sketches, or verbal instructions — turning concepts into high-quality, functional tooling parts.

Perform hands-on part inspections using calipers, micrometers, gauge blocks, and dial indicators to verify critical dimensions, alignments, and tolerances.

Inspect finished tooling and dies for surface finish, contour accuracy, and overall quality — ensuring all components are production-ready.

Maintain accurate records of tooling maintenance, modifications, and part history using internal documentation systems — helping keep the tool room organized and efficient.
Support continuous improvement by following best practices for machining, maintenance, and safety while working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
