Job Details:
API Industrial is hiring an experienced Manual Machinist to join our precision machining team. You will work independently from blueprints and work orders to produce close-tolerance components on manual lathes, mills, surface grinders, and related equipment.
Responsibilities:
Set up and operate manual engine lathes, vertical and horizontal mills, surface grinders, and drill presses to produce precision parts.
Interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and written/verbal specifications to plan machining operations.
Consistently hold tolerances of ±0.001" on critical dimensions; achieve tighter tolerances when specified.
Select, dress, and change tooling (HSS, carbide, form tools) and calculate appropriate speeds and feeds for a variety of materials including steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, and exotic alloys.
Use precision measuring instruments — micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, indicators, gauge pins, and surface plates — to verify dimensions and geometry.
Perform first-article inspections and in-process checks; document results per our quality procedures.
Deburr, finish, and prepare parts for inspection, assembly, or shipment.
Perform routine machine maintenance: way lubrication, coolant checks, minor adjustments, and reporting issues promptly.
Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production to troubleshoot setups, improve processes, and reduce scrap.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area; follow all shop safety and PPE requirements.
Qualifications:
5+ years of verifiable experience as a manual machinist in a precision job-shop, prototype, or short-run production environment.
Demonstrated ability to consistently hold tolerances of ±0.001" without relying on CNC compensation.
Strong blueprint reading skills, including GD&T, surface finish symbols, and geometric callouts.
Fluent use of precision inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, indicators, bore and depth gauges, height gauges, sine bars).
Experience machining a wide range of materials: carbon and alloy steels, stainless, aluminum, brass/bronze, and tool steels.
Ability to plan complex setups, select workholding, and work from a print with minimal supervision.
Solid shop math: trigonometry, decimal/fractional conversions, speeds and feeds calculations.
High school diploma or GED; completion of a formal machinist apprenticeship or trade-school program is a strong plus.
Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
