CNC Machinist

Company Description

We are hiring experienced, precision manufacturers specializing in Lathe, Mill, and multi-axis CNC turning, Swiss machining, and screw machining. The ideal machinist is experienced with setup and program adjustments to inspection and final part quality. If you enjoy taking ownership and understand why a part changes size, how to correct it, and can prove it with measurements, we encourage you to apply.


Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Set up, run, and adjust CNC turning machines, Swiss automatics, and screw machines.
• Edit CNC programs at the machine and make offset, tooling, and parameter changes as required.
• Program and edit CNC code (G-code), and work with CAD/CAM software like Mastercam, Fusion 360, or Solid CAM.
• Independently diagnose and correct dimensional, finish, or concentricity issues
• Produce first-article-approved parts and maintain consistency throughout the production run.
• Read and interpret complex blueprints, tolerances, and GD&T.
• Apply shop math (fractions, decimals, geometry, basic trigonometry) to correct size and location issues.
• Select the correct measuring tools and verify part accuracy at multiple stages of production.
• Use calipers, micrometers, indicators, gauges, and vision/CMM systems confidently.
• Change tooling, adjust fixtures, and optimize cycle times and tool life.
• Work closely with quality and engineering when process improvements are needed.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area.

Machines You'll Work With: (Experience with some is expected)
