About This Job


Build Tools That Build the Future

Midstate Spring has been crafting high-precision springs in Syracuse, NY since 1939 — and we’re still going strong. In our Tool Room, we don’t just fix things — we craft the custom tools and dies that power our entire production floor. If you have machining experience, love working with your hands, and take pride in making things the right way, this is where you can take your skills to the next level.

We’re not looking for perfection on day one. We’re looking for people who are mechanically sharp, eager to learn, and ready to join a team that takes craftsmanship seriously.


What You’ll Do:

Sharpen and rework die sections, punches, and cut-off tools with precision
Fabricate or repair custom tooling and fixtures for our springmaking operations
Use a wide range of machines: mills, grinders, lathes, band saws, CNC equipment
Interpret blueprints and part drawings for complex tooling components
Measure with precision using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and comparators
Work with tool steels like O-1, A-2, and D-2 — and apply proper heat treatment
Torch work, welding, and hands-on problem-solving when things don’t go as planned
Collaborate with engineers, production leads, and fellow tradespeople


What We’re Looking For:

1+ years of experience in a manufacturing, machining, or tool room environment
Confidence with machine tools — whether manual or CNC
Comfortable using precision measuring instruments and basic shop math
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings
Experience with or interest in tool steels and heat treatment processes
You love working with your hands, and you care about doing quality work
Team-first attitude — but able to work independently with minimal supervision


Nice to Have (but not required):

Formal machinist or toolmaking training
CNC programming or setup experience
Die making or stamping tooling experience
Military or vocational background in mechanics or fabrication


What We Offer:

Hands-on training, mentorship, and a real career path
Fully climate-controlled facility (no sweating or freezing on the job)
Health, dental, and life insurance (available 1st of the month after hire)
401(k) with match (eligibility after 6 months)
Paid time off awarded upon hire and every quarter
A respectful, skilled, and supportive team


Why Midstate Spring?

At Midstate Spring, we’ve been manufacturing precision springs in Syracuse, NY since 1939 — and we’ve built a reputation for reliability and craftsmanship that spans industries. Our components are used in power tools, medical devices, defense systems, and more. That level of performance starts in the Tool Room, where every part, fixture, and die is made with care and expertise. When you join Midstate, you become part of a team that takes pride in doing things right — with a legacy of quality, hands-on skill, and continuous improvement.

Ready to Build Something That Lasts? Apply today if you’re:

A skilled machinist looking to specialize
A hands-on problem-solver who takes pride in their work
Ready to join a team that values quality, training, and teamwork

Midstate Spring is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to diversity and to providing accommodations during the hiring process for qualified individuals with disabilities.
