Machinist job in Warsaw, IN
Job DescriptionYour weekend, engineered for precision
Picture this: It's Friday at 6:00 AM. You power up a Hanwha Swiss lathe, review the traveler and blueprint, load bar stock, touch off tools, and dial in offsets. A first-article part is on your bench minutes later-checked against AQL with calipers, micrometers, and a Keyence. You deburr critical edges, verify dimensions on the optical comparator and Micro-Vu, and sign off the setup in our Visual Labor Entry system so production can flow. Before lunch, you jump into a new implant NPI-debugging a program, streamlining a setup with fixtures and jigs, and clearing a production gap to keep delivery on track. By Sunday evening, you've kept quality tight, counts accurate, and your team moving forward.
What you'll own
Set up, operate, and maintain CNC Swiss-style lathes (including 20's, 32's, 38's, NTY3's; Hanwha and Hardinge) to manufacture medical instruments and implants.
Run production to established procedures and work instructions; complete deburring and finishing as required.
Read and interpret blueprints, setup sheets, inspection check-sheets, and work operation sheets.
Use precision metrology tools-calipers, micrometers, height gauges, depth micrometers, height stands, optical comparator, Micro-Vu, Keyence, and vici measuring tools-to verify parts per AQL and documentation.
Troubleshoot dimensional issues, make tool changes and machine adjustments, and approve setups completed by other operators.
Maintain precise counts of good and scrapped parts; complete production paperwork and enter data into the company database via Visual Labor Entry while monitoring work orders.
Support new product introductions (NPI) through program debugging and setup optimization to maintain on-time delivery and quality targets.
Comply with all policies and procedures and perform all other duties as assigned.

Self-starter mindset in a fast-paced, team-driven environment; strong communication across shifts and operators.
Organized, quality-first approach and a desire to be “Best in Class.”
Willingness to lead by example and learn NGI processes and procedures.
How you'll grow
You won't feel stuck-there's room to cross-train, expand skills, and advance.
No two days are the same-expect variety across parts and processes.
Be known-work within a tight-knit team that has each other's backs.
