Senior 5-Axis CNC Milling Setup Specialist

B&A Precision

Job Description

Job Description

Senior 5-Axis CNC Milling Setup Specialist

Step into a shop where precision is the language and craftsmanship is the culture. At B&A Precision —a mid-sized CNC manufacturer with more than 50 years serving the Aerospace, Defense, and Medical sectors—you’ll spend your day transforming complex blueprints into flawless parts.

A day in your role

Your morning begins at a vertical mill—sometimes 3-axis, often 4-axis, and regularly a full 5-axis setup. You load tools, dial in offsets, and command Fanuc controls with confidence. You write and edit basic G-code/M-code , call up programs, and coordinate with positional indexers to hit challenging features. Before the spindle ever climbs to speed, you verify your first piece using precision instruments and gauges. Throughout the run, you compare results to blueprints and apply your working knowledge of GD&T to maintain exacting tolerances.

You’ll collaborate with a team that values accuracy and repeatability, keeping production flowing efficiently and to spec. You’ll report directly to the shop President , contributing to continuous improvement and quality excellence.

What you’ll do
  • Set up and run 3-, 4-, and 5-axis vertical CNC milling machines .
  • Operate and adjust Fanuc controls; write and edit basic CNC programs (G-code/M-code).
  • Program and work with positional indexers for complex features.
  • Interpret blueprints and apply GD&T fundamentals.
  • Use precision measuring instruments and gauges to validate first-piece and production dimensions.
  • Collaborate within a team-based environment to support efficient workflows and quality targets.
What makes you successful here
  • 5+ years of CNC milling experience.
  • Meticulous attention to detail, accuracy, and precision.
  • Comfort working cross-functionally and sharing best practices.
  • U.S. Person Status.
Schedule & compensation

This is a full-time, first-shift role with a highly competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience.

Benefits

Our comprehensive package includes medical benefits , company-matching 401(k) , paid vacation , paid holidays , and paid sick days .

Core proficiencies
  • CNC Tooling
  • CNC Programming
  • G-Code
  • M-Code
  • CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs

Bring your machining expertise to B&A Precision and help us continue a legacy of manufacturing excellence.
