Background

About Matthew Wilkinson

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Northern Arizona University, complemented by a strong technical background in precision machining and advanced manufacturing practices. My professional expertise includes hands-on operation and programming of HAAS “ST” series CNC lathes, utilizing both CAD/CAM software and manual G-code to drive accuracy and efficiency on the shop floor. Proficient in Autodesk, Fusion 360, and SolidWorks, I apply these platforms to manufacture innovative, application-specific solutions across a wide range of consumer and industrial products. I am particularly focused on identifying and integrating modern manufacturing techniques that streamline production workflows, reduce waste, and improve overall part quality. I regularly coordinate across departments and between shifts, with a focus on training and onboarding new lathe operators, while also ensuring production goals and quality standards are consistently met. My approach emphasizes collaboration, knowledge transfer, and operational efficiency. With a lifelong dedication to machining, both professionally and as an experienced personal hobbyist, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding of the manufacturing process, a strong commitment to continuous improvement, and a practical, results-oriented mindset to every challenge.
