Cnc setup / programmer (mazatrol specialist)

We are seeking a skilled CNC Setup/Programmer who thrives in a hands‑on, shop‑floor environment. This role is unique: our client does not utilize CAM software. You won't be sitting behind a desk; you'll be at the machine "fat‑fingering" programs directly into Mazatrol controls. While this position involves high‑level setup and programming for lathes and a selection of mills, much of the workflow involves heavy repeat production. This requires someone who can program with precision, setup quickly, and maintain consistency across high‑volume runs. Our client values the "Old School" expertise of a true machinist. You won't be bogged down by corporate software updates; you'll have the autonomy to run your station and the satisfaction of seeing your programs turn into high‑performance components immediately. salary: $52,000 - $72,800 per year shift: First work hours: 7 AM - 4 PM education: High School Responsibilities Manual Programming: Create, edit, and optimize programs directly at the machine using Mazatrol conversational programming (no external CAM support). Machine Setup: Perform complete setups on CNC lathes and mills, including tool selection, offsets, and work‑holding adjustments. Repeat Production Management: Oversee long‑running repeat jobs, ensuring that once the process is dialed in, parts remain within tight tolerances. Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve machining issues, tool wear problems, or program errors on the fly. Quality Control: Inspect "first‑article" parts using standard metrology tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to ensure 100% blueprint compliance. Technical Requirements Mazatrol Mastery: Extensive experience with Mazatrol controls is non‑negotiable. You must be comfortable programming conversationally without software assistance. Lathe & Mill Proficiency: While the focus is heavy on lathes, you must be capable of handling mill setups as well. Blueprint Reading: Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, including deep familiarity with GD&T symbols. Tooling Knowledge: Expert understanding of speeds, feeds, and insert grades for various materials and alloys.
