Mazak CNC Lathe Setup Operator

Kadon Precision Machining
Rockford, IL
Description

Are you one of the best? Or ready to become one of the best?

We’re looking for driven, detail-oriented professionals who take pride in their craft and want to work in a fast-paced aerospace environment where precision, consistency, and pride in workmanship are the standard.

At Kadon Precision Machining , we don’t just make parts — we build critical aerospace components trusted across the country. We’re an AS9100-certified, high-performance team built on craftsmanship, collaboration, and accountability.

What You’ll Do

  • Set up and operate Mazak CNC lathes for aerospace components.
  • Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and AS9100 documentation.
  • Ensure precision, consistency, and quality across every job.
  • Collaborate with production and quality teams to continuously improve setups and cycle times.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven CNC setup experience (Mazak or similar control preferred).
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a commitment to doing things right.
  • The desire to be part of a team that pushes for excellence every day.
  • Must be able to set up and process your own parts.

What We Offer

  • Top pay for top talent. We reward experience, leadership, and skill — not just time on the clock.
  • Opportunity for growth. If you have the drive and potential to become one of the best, we’ll help get you there.
  • Plenty of hours. Consistent work, long-term programs, and overtime opportunities available.
  • Modern equipment. Late-model Mazak lathes, multi-axis machining, and precision aerospace work.
  • A team that values skill and pride. You’ll work alongside experienced machinists who set the bar high.
  • Competitive wages with opportunities for growth
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance options
  • 401(k) plan with company support to help you build your future
  • Company-paid life insurance coverage
  • Short-term and long-term disability insurance for added peace of mind
  • Additional perks and benefits designed to support you both at work and at home

If you’re already one of the best — or if you’re ready to become one — we want to talk to you.

Join a team where your skill, pride, and potential are recognized and rewarded.
