Summary:

RANDYS Worldwide builds drivetrain components for off-road and performance vehicles. We're looking for a hands-on, all-around machinist who can move between running a CNC tool room lathe, working manual mills and lathes, reworking existing inventory, and building the fixtures and tooling that keep our assembly line moving. This job blends CNC tool room lathe work (such as a HAAS TL-2) with manual machining — Bridgeport-style mill and manual lathe work, drill press, fabrication, and welding — and it suits someone who likes solving problems on the floor as much as running a part

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

Set up and operate a CNC tool room lathe (such as a HAAS TL-2) to produce production parts to print
Set up and operate manual machines, including a Bridgeport-style mill (DRO-equipped) and manual lathe, for production parts, rework, and prototype work
Run grinders, drill presses, saws, and other fabrication equipment as the job requires.
Rework and modify existing parts to bring them into spec or adapt them for new applications.
Design and fabricate fixtures, jigs, and tooling for assembly and machining operations, working from sketches, prints, or a verbal description of the problem.
Perform basic welding (MIG/TIG) on fixtures, tooling, and fabricated assemblies as needed — welding experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T callouts, and engineering drawings.
Inspect your own work using calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, height gauges, and indicators, and document results as required
Maintain and troubleshoot shop equipment, coordinating with maintenance on larger repairs.
Work directly with engineering and production leads to improve part quality, cycle time, and process repeatability
Keep the work area clean, organized, and compliant with all safety requirements.

Preferred Education and Experience:

Three to five years of machining and fabrication experience in a production or job-shop environment, combining CNC and manual work.
CNC experience required, ideally on a CNC tool room lathe such as a HAAS TL-2; candidates with light/basic CNC experience and strong all-around machining skills are encouraged to apply.
Proven proficiency on manual machines, including a Bridgeport mill and manual lathe — indicating in work, dialing in setups, selecting speeds and feeds, and holding tight tolerances without hand-holding.
Comfort working from a digital readout as well as dials.
MIG and TIG welding experience on steel and aluminum is a plus, but not required.
Ability to read and work from prints, including geometric tolerancing.
Command of precision measuring instruments and shop math, including trig for layout and setup.
Demonstrated ability to build fixtures and tooling from concept, not just to a finished drawing.
Self-direction and sound judgment — you can prioritize when three jobs land at once and know when to raise a question.
Reliable attendance and safety-first mindset
Computer proficiency including MS Excel, Outlook, and SharePoint.
High school diploma or equivalent.
Machining certificate, apprenticeship, or associate degree in machine tool technology preferred.
Welding certifications a plus but not required.

Knowledge and Personal Attributes:

Strong organizational and communication skills, attention to detail
Ability to work well in a team environment
Experience with gears, axles, differentials, or other drivetrain components.
Surface, cylindrical, or tool-and-cutter grinding experience.
Tool and cutter sharpening. CAD familiarity for sketching tooling and fixtures.
Rotary table, indexing head, or boring head experience. Heat treat, hardness testing, or metallurgy exposure.
Automotive or off-road enthusiast background.
Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement experience.
Proven experience in effectively working in a highly stressful and driven environment.
Able to meet all mandated safety requirements and Company policies and procedures.

Physical Requirements:

Standing for extended periods on a concrete shop floor.
Lifting up to [50] lbs. regularly, occasionally more with assistance.
Bending, reaching, and working in awkward positions during setups.
Manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination for precision work.
Exposure to noise, coolants, metal chips, welding fumes, and varying shop temperatures, with required PPE provided.

RANDYS Worldwide Automotive is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to status as a protected veteran or a qualified individual with a disability, or other protected status, such as race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age.
