Job description
About the role
Temperature Specialists, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom, high-accuracy temperature sensors used in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide. We are hiring a Sensor Case Fabricator to join our machine shop team — producing the custom metal sensor cases and components that house every sensor we make.
This is a hands-on metal fabrication and production machining role with genuine variety. No two weeks are exactly the same — you'll work across manual lathe turning, tube cutting, TIG welding, laser welding, sandblasting, deburring, and metal finishing to produce high-volume runs of precision sensor cases. You'll read blueprints, set up your own work, and take ownership of parts from raw stock to finished component. No prior experience is required — we train from the ground up. A background in machining, welding, fabrication, or any hands-on metalworking trade is a plus.
What you'll do
* Operate a manual lathe to turn and machine metal sensor case components to specification, including machine setup, tooling, and in-process measurement
* Use a chop saw and cutting equipment to cut metal tubing and stock to specified lengths
* Perform TIG welding to close one end of sensor case tubes, producing clean, consistent welds to print
* Operate laser welding equipment to join small sensor case components and fittings with precision
* Deburr and clean up machined and cut parts to remove sharp edges and meet finish requirements
* Operate sandblasting equipment to surface-treat metal sensor cases and components
* Use wire wheel polishing equipment to finish and clean metal parts to the required surface appearance
* Read and interpret blueprints and work orders; use measuring instruments to inspect finished parts for dimensional accuracy and quality
* Operate manual milling equipment and other shop equipment as needed
* Document production output and log completed work orders; maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop environment
What we're looking for
* Mechanical aptitude and genuine comfort working with machine tools, hand tools, and fabrication equipment
* Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints and work orders
* Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, consistent parts in a production environment
* Comfortable working in a machine shop environment — you'll be around metal chips, cutting fluids, welding, and surface treatment processes daily
* Collaborative attitude and ability to communicate with other production departments
* Prior experience in machining, fabrication, welding, metalworking, or a related hands-on trade is preferred but not required — all technical skills are developed through in-house training
A note on the work
This role is a good fit for someone who likes variety and takes pride in producing physical things. You won't be doing the same task all day — the mix of turning, welding, blasting, and finishing keeps the work engaging. If you've ever enjoyed working with your hands, building things, or operating machinery — whether professionally or as a hobby — this is worth applying for.
Why join Temperature Specialists
* Genuine variety of fabrication work — lathe turning, welding, cutting, finishing, and more in a single role
* Comprehensive in-house training — no prior machining or fabrication experience required
* Stable, full-time position with a specialty manufacturer of custom-engineered precision products
Opportunity to develop a broad, in-demand skill set across multiple fabrication and metalworking processes
