\n

Why This Role Exists

\n

This role exists because AirBoss continues to expand tooling department capabilities supporting both ongoing mold repair work and new mold introduction. The tooling team plays a critical role in keeping production running while also supporting new manufacturing initiatives.

\n

This is a hands-on position where you will own the full machining process — from programming through setup, operation, inspection, and troubleshooting. The shop is looking for machinists who enjoy problem-solving, varied work, and taking ownership of their jobs rather than simply loading production parts all day.
