Machinist

Responsibilities

• Set up, operate, and program CNC mills and lathes to produce parts to customer specifications — correct the first time.
• Read and interpret customer blueprints accurately and independently, without hand-holding.
• Measure precisely using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other instruments — catch your own errors before they run.
• Follow shop travelers, ISO 9001:2015 QMS documentation, and safety protocols without reminders.
• Communicate immediately when something is off — a problem caught early is manageable; one buried until shipping is a crisis.
• Maintain a clean, organized machine and work area that reflects your standards.
• (Lead) Review quotes and jobs for technical accuracy before they go to the customer or hit the production floor.

Qualifications

• Experience in a CNC machine shop (mills, lathes, or similar) OR close to completing a machining program at CNM or equivalent trade school.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering blueprints.
• Reliable transportation — 7 am start is consistent.
• Ability to lift 80 lbs unassisted.

About LAD ENGINEERING, LLC

LAD Engineering is a precision CNC machine shop built around one idea: we solve complexity. When engineers need parts that are hard to manufacture — tight tolerances, unusual geometries, materials that fight back — they come to us. We prototype. We go to production. We ship custom parts and assemblies to customers across the United States. ISO 9001:2015 certified.

We're a small team with high standards and a clear direction. The people here give a shit about the work, communicate directly, and hold each other accountable in a way that makes the shop better. We're in the process of building a team and a reputation that will precede us — and every hire right now is part of that foundation.
