Engine Shop Machinist

Who Are We:

Fleece Performance Engineering is a leading manufacturer of after-market diesel performance products. With a reputation for innovation, quality, and service, our high-performance products push the limits of diesel performance technology. We are seeking motivated individuals who thrive in a rapidly expanding business environment.

The Perks:

• Paid Time Off, Holidays, and Health Benefits (Medical, Vision, Dental, Life)
• 401(k) with Employer Match and Disability Coverage
• Discretionary Bonus Opportunities
• OnSite Gym, Training, and Other Perks

The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and self-motivated Engine Machinist to join the team at Fleece Performance Engineering. This role focuses on high-precision machining of engine blocks and cylinder heads. We aren’t just looking for an operator — we need a machinist who understands the “why” behind the “how,” particularly when it comes to tool management and the critical tolerances required for high-performance engines.

What You’ll Do:

Job Duties include, but not limited to:

• Perform comprehensive engine block and cylinder head machining, including surfacing, boring, and valve work.
• Set up and operate specialized engine machining equipment, specifically the Rottler EM 69ATC, while ensuring maximum efficiency and tool life.
• Utilize basic CNC programming skills to adjust offsets, select appropriate tooling, and ensure programs meet the specific needs of each build.
• Execute precise cylinder and main line honing to achieve required surface finishes and tolerances.
• Use precision measuring tools, including dial bore gauges, micrometers, and calipers, to verify work within tenthousandths of an inch.
• Perform routine machine maintenance and maintain a clean, organized workspace to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency.
• Represent the company in a professional manner at all times.

What It Takes:

• Proven experience in engine block and cylinder head machining within a performance or remanufacturing environment, including cylinder and main line honing.
• Strong background operating CNC engine machining centers.
• Experience with the Rottler EM69ATC is highly preferred, including a strong understanding of Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) logic, tool wear monitoring, sequencing, and offset management.
• Basic CNC programming skills, including machine setup, troubleshooting minor program issues, and selecting appropriate tooling for specific jobs.
• Mastery of precision measuring equipment. Candidates must demonstrate accuracy using calipers, dial bore gauges, and micrometers to verify bores, decks, and crankshaft alignments.
• Commitment to precision and quality. In highperformance engine building, “close enough” is never enough.
• Ability to manage workflow independently, troubleshoot minor issues, and maintain productivity without constant supervision.
• Ability to handle heavy engine components and stand for extended periods in a fastpaced shop environment.
