CNC Machinist

Job Description

CNC Machinist

Not a Button Pusher. A Difference Maker.


Are you the person everyone trusts when the tolerances get tight and the setup isn’t straightforward? This role is for a CNC Machinist who owns the process-from setup through inspection-not someone who just hits cycle start.


What You’ll Do

• Set up and run CNC mills, lathes, or multi-axis machines with confidence.
  
  
• Read and interpret blueprints and GD&T and know what those numbers really mean on the floor.
  
  
• Make offsets and basic program edits on controls like Fanuc, Haas, or Mazak.
  
  
• Choose tooling, dial in cutting parameters, and handle fixture setup and part changeovers.
  
  
• Run first article inspections and in-process checks using micrometers, calipers, bore and height gauges.
  
  
• Keep machines healthy with basic preventative maintenance and a sharp eye for problems.
  
  

What You Bring

• 3-10+ years of CNC machining experience.
  
  
• Comfortable doing setups-not just loading parts.
  
  
• Strong understanding of feeds/speeds, materials (steel, aluminum, stainless), and tooling.
  
  
• Proven reliability, attention to detail, and a serious quality mindset.
  
  
• Able to work independently in a fast-paced environment while still being a solid team player.
  
  

Extra Credit

• Experience with CAD/CAM (Mastercam, Fusion 360, etc.).
  
  
• Multi-axis (4th/5th), prototype, or short-run work.
  
  
• A track record of reducing scrap and tightening cycle times.
  
  

If you’re ready to be treated like a true machinist, not a button pusher, send a quick summary of your CNC experience, the machines/controls you’ve run, and the type of work you enjoy most.
