Senior 5-Axis CNC Milling Setup & Programming Lead

Talon Precision

Job Description

Job Description

Shape Precision. Lead the Setup. Elevate the Craft.

For over 50 years, B&A Precision has built complex components for the Aerospace, Defense, and Medical sectors. As our Senior 5-Axis CNC Milling Setup & Programming Lead, you’ll be the go-to expert on the floor—owning complex setups, dialing in programs, and championing quality.

A day in this role

You start your 1st-shift morning reviewing prints with GD&T callouts, mapping a setup plan for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis vertical mills. You load tooling, prove out programs on Fanuc controls, and fine-tune G-code/M-code for optimal feeds and speeds. Between changeovers, you program and run positional indexers for multi-face machining, validate first-piece dimensions with precision gages, and collaborate with teammates to keep production flowing. You report directly to the Shop President, turning challenges into repeatable, high-precision processes.

What you’ll take ownership of
  • End-to-end setup and operation of vertical CNC mills (3/4/5-axis)
  • Fanuc control optimization, including on-machine edits
  • Writing and editing basic CNC programs (G-code) and applying M-codes effectively
  • Programming and using positional indexers for accurate indexing
  • Translating blueprints and GD&T into reliable machining strategies
  • First-article and in-process verification using precision measuring instruments and gages
  • Partnering in a team-based environment to hit quality and schedule targets
What you bring
  • Minimum 5 years of CNC milling setup experience
  • Meticulous attention to detail, accuracy, and precision
  • Strength in CNC Tooling, CNC Programming, G-Code, M-Code
  • Expertise in CNC Machine Setup & Changeover and production-run setups
Schedule & pay

This is a full-time, 1st shift position with an extremely competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience.

Benefits

Medical benefits, company matching 401k, paid vacation, paid holidays, and paid sick days.

Compliance

U.S. Person Status.
