What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who enjoys building things, solving problems, and finding better ways to manufacture custom projects. The right candidate is equally comfortable working in front of a computer creating toolpaths as they are on the shop floor bringing ideas to life.

  • Interpret drawings, sketches, and customer concepts to develop manufacturable solutions.
  • Participate in concept development, rendering, prototyping, and product design.
  • Select appropriate materials and machining methods to achieve quality and efficiency goals.
  • Perform machine setup, tooling changes, calibration, and routine maintenance.
  • Assist with woodworking, carpentry, assembly, finishing, and general shop production as needed.
  • Inspect finished components to ensure dimensional accuracy and quality standards are met.
  • Collaborate with designers, project managers, and production staff to meet schedules and customer expectations.
  • Follow all company safety procedures and maintain an organized workspace.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of CNC router operation and programming experience preferred.
  • Strong woodworking and carpentry background. Acrylic fabrication experience a strong plus.
  • Experience with CAD/CAM software and CNC programming.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and shop prints.
  • Experience creating custom fixtures, jigs, and manufacturing solutions is a plus.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects.
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in a manufacturing environment.

Preferred Experience

  • Cabinetmaking, architectural millwork, custom furniture, or display fabrication.
  • CNC routers, nesting software, and vacuum table systems.
  • Concept design and product development.
  • Wood, acrylic, laminates, composites, and other fabrication materials.
