👍 Why join Team Penske?

Team Penske is seeking a CNC Multi-Axis Machinist to manufacture precision components supporting its NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA racing programs.

This is an opportunity to apply your machining skills in a performance-driven environment where accuracy, quality, and speed all matter. You will work with advanced Mazak 4- and 5-axis machining centers and mill-turn equipment, taking jobs from engineering drawings and CAD data through setup, programming, machining, and inspection.

This is not a production operator position. Machinists are expected to think through each job, select tooling and workholding, program or edit at the machine, design fixtures, solve machining challenges, and take personal ownership of the finished component.

For an experienced setup machinist who enjoys complex parts, advanced equipment, and high-mix work, Team Penske offers the chance to contribute directly to some of the most recognized racing programs in North America.

⚙️ What you’ll be doing

• Set up, program, prove out, and operate 4- and 5-axis CNC machines
• Manufacture precision components for NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA racing programs
• Plan machining processes from work schedules, engineering drawings, and CAD data
• Program new parts and modify existing programs using Mazatrol
• Load and edit EIA programs as required
• Determine workholding, toolholding, and cutting-tool requirements
• Assemble toolholders and set tools using a presetter
• Design and manufacture fixtures and custom workholding
• Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring instruments
• Anticipate tooling and material needs and coordinate orders with your supervisor
• Operate manual machines, saws, and other conventional equipment when needed
• Maintain accurate setup sheets and manufacturing information
• Complete preventive maintenance and assist with equipment repairs
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Take ownership of part quality, accuracy, and on-time completion
