Machinist- Expert (Swing)Kavaliro is seeking a highly skilled Career Machinist to join a precision manufacturing team supporting advanced mechanical components and assemblies used in cutting-edge electronic and microwave applications. This role operates at the intersection of machining excellence and engineering collaboration. You will develop, optimize, and sustain machining processes using advanced equipment including Swiss-style lathes, single and multi-turret lathes, and 3- to 5-axis CNC milling centers.
Working closely with engineering teams, you will influence component design for manufacturability, support new product introduction (NPI), and ensure stable, repeatable production processes. This is not a production-only operator role. We are looking for a machinist who takes ownership of process performance, quality, and continuous improvement.Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop, refine, and sustain precision machining processes for complex componentsOperate and set up Swiss-style lathes, mill/turn centers, and 3- to 5-axis milling machinesCollaborate with engineering teams to improve design for manufacturability (DFM)Support new product introduction (NPI) and production transitionEnsure process stability, repeatability, and yield performanceUtilize advanced metrology tools to verify conformance to tight tolerancesInterpret and apply engineering drawings including GD&TContribute to continuous improvement initiatives in tooling, fixturing, and cycle time optimizationMaintain thorough documentation of setups, tooling strategies, and process changesQualificationsWe are seeking a motivated machinist with strong technical capability and a passion for precision.Career-level machining experience in high-precision environmentsStrong understanding of machining fundamentals and tight tolerance workAbility to interpret engineering drawings and GD&TStrong teamwork and communication skillsPositive attitude, flexibility, and willingness to learnHighly Desired Experience3- to 5-axis CNC millingSwiss-style lathesMill/Turn machine centersAdvanced metrology (CMM, optical systems, precision inspection tools)CNC/CAM programmingCAD/Solid Modeling softwareTool grinding and custom tool developmentWhat We ValueOwnership mindset and accountabilityDetail orientation and process disciplineCollaboration across engineering, maintenance, and production teamsContinuous improvement thinkingAdaptability in a dynamic NPI and production environmentIf you are passionate about precision machining and want to contribute to high-performance mechanical solutions, we encourage you to apply.
