Job DescriptionTungsten Alloys Centerless Grinding Technician
Picture this: a workpiece arrives just shy of round. You straighten it by hand—or with a hydraulic press—tweak the guides and blades, dress both wheels, and bring it into tolerance with a clean finish. That’s the craft you’ll practice on our 2nd shift at Mi-Tech Tungsten Metals.

In this role, you’ll own the full centerless grinding process—from setup to final measurement—while keeping quality, speed, and safety aligned.
- Set up and operate centerless grinders, closely monitoring grinding operations and measurement checks.
- Adjust work guides and grinding blades to achieve round, consistent parts ready for finishing.
- Straighten parts by hand or with a hydraulic press prior to grinding.
- Modify operating parameters to maintain tight tolerances and the required surface finish.
- Replace regulating or grinding wheels whenever needed.
- Dress both the regulating and grinding wheels as instructed.
- Spot malfunctions, troubleshoot process issues, and make control adjustments to correct them.
What you bring
- 1 or more years of manufacturing experience.
- Comfort using precision instruments: micrometers, comparators, and gauges.
- Mechanical aptitude paired with solid math capability.
- Previous grinding experience is a plus.
Compensation & benefits
