Why this job is worth considering

American Machine Company has run a full-service precision CNC shop out of Westborough, MA since 1968, machining parts for valve, aerospace, medical device, electronics, and packaging customers. This role covers the whole job on the mill side — programming it in Fusion 360, setting it up, and running it, not just loading parts and hitting cycle start. The shop's Haas fleet includes 5-axis machining centers run in 3+2, so there's genuine multi-axis work involved, not just straight 3-axis milling. It's job shop work, so the mix of parts and materials changes regularly rather than running the same job for months. Pay is $40–$50 per hour depending on experience.

What you'll be doing

• Program CNC milling jobs in Fusion 360, from print or CAD file through finished toolpath
• Set up and run Haas vertical machining centers, including 5-axis machines operated in 3+2 positioning
• Select and set tooling, offsets, and workholding for each new job
• Read blueprints and GD&T callouts and machine parts to specification
• Perform first-article and in-process inspection using standard shop gauging (calipers, micrometers, height gauges)
• Troubleshoot setup and program issues during the run
• Move between jobs and materials as a job shop — aluminum, stainless, titanium, and engineering plastics

Machines, controls and software

• Haas vertical machining centers (VF-Series and mini-mill)
• Haas 5-axis machining centers, run in 3+2 mode
• Fusion 360 for CAM programming

What we're looking for

Required:

• Experience programming, setting up, and running CNC milling machines independently
• Fusion 360 programming experience
• Comfortable working with 3+2 (multi-axis positioning) setups
• Ability to read blueprints and machine to print/GD&T
• Experience with standard shop inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges)

Preferred:

• Experience specifically with Haas controls
• Prior job shop / high-mix, low-volume experience

Pay, benefits and schedule

• Pay: $40–$50 per hour, depending on experience
• Benefits: 3 weeks’ paid vacation, 6 personal/sick days, and 12 paid holidays
• Schedule: 4x10-hour days (Mon-Thu); a 5th day (Friday) is optional, paid at time-and-a-half
