High-Caliber 5-Axis CNC Machinist Needed in Wichita, Kansas

Indotronix announced a short-term CNC Machinist (M07A) opening in Wichita, Kansas, paying $52 to $56 per hour for a three-month duration.

The role requires candidates to handle strictly 5-axis machining work at the facility located at 3420 South Oliver Street, meaning workers with only 3 or 4-axis experience will not be submitted, Indotronix reported.

Managers are searching for high-caliber machinists rather than basic button-pushing operators. Applicants need enough skill to work with minimal training and must be able to explain their specific technical skillsets during the vetting process.

Preferred experience covers a wide range of 5-axis machine brands. Candidates should be familiar with equipment from Cincinnati, Makino, Okuma, Mazak, SNK, Matsuura, Delving, Modig, Henri Line’, Cinetic, Doosan, Hurco, Jig Bore, Toshiba, Flexi-Mill, or Torres.

The position is assigned to either the second or third shift. Workers must remain comfortable with any assigned shift, alongside weekend shifts and mandatory overtime work.

Upon starting, the worker will go through computer-based SLS training, precision measurement, blueprint reading, and skin quality assessments.

Daily duties involve teaming with others to set up, operate, and inspect parts on conventional and computerized numerical controlled machines. Workers must assure timely production and delivery of quality products to the customer while working from drawings, process specifications, and quality control requirements.

Machinists will concurrently perform related functions to provide complete hardware according to engineering specifications. This includes operating multiple machines simultaneously, deburring part surfaces, milling, drilling, boring, honing, grinding, and fastening.

Daily responsibilities also encompass routine minor machine maintenance as part of total preventative maintenance duties. Workers will replace machine filters, change standard lightbulbs on equipment, and maintain lubrication and coolant levels.

Additional duties involve moving products within the immediate manufacturing work area across aisles using shop-assigned equipment. Workers will complete transactions necessary to move product to the next operation and cross-train in inspection to become SIA qualified.
