CNC Lathe Programming & Setup Specialist (Mazak)
Build precision parts that put critical pumps back in service
At Hydro, Inc.—the Chicago-headquartered, global leader in industrial pump reengineering and the largest independent pump rebuilder since 1969—your machining expertise has real impact.
Picture this: a large refurbished component arrives. You review the drawing with both conventional and GD&T callouts, lay out the tools, stage the raw material, and write or refine the Mazatrol program. You set up the Mazak lathe, verify workholding, and adjust speeds and feeds. As you turn the part to within 0.001 inch, you verify dimensions with precision measuring tools, compute a bolt circle, and collaborate with the shop team to move it to the next operation—confident in the quality you produced. That’s a typical success story on our 2nd Shift .
