CNC Milling Machinist

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a skilled CNC machinist capable of independently programming, setting up, and operating our Haas VF-4SS equipped with a TRT210 trunnion for full 5-axis machining .

The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who understands the complete machining process, from interpreting customer drawings and selecting the proper tooling to developing programs, machining components, and inspecting finished parts.

This is not an operator-only position. We need an experienced machinist who can take a customer drawing and work order and turn them into a finished, dimensionally accurate part with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently program, set up, and operate a Haas VF-4SS CNC milling machine equipped with a TRT210 trunnion.
• Read and accurately interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, GD&T, dimensional tolerances, and manufacturing specifications.
• Develop CNC programs from customer drawings and CAD models using appropriate programming methods and CAM software.
• Determine the most efficient machining strategies, setups, workholding methods, and operation sequences.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, toolholders, and machining parameters based on part geometry and material.
• Calculate and optimize speeds, feeds, depths of cut, and machining cycles.
• Set up fixtures, establish work offsets, perform tool touch-offs, and verify programs before production.
• Machine precision components to drawing specifications, including tight tolerances and critical dimensional requirements.
• Perform first-piece and in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment.
• Troubleshoot programming, tooling, setup, and machining issues independently.
• Maintain part quality, production efficiency, and proper documentation in accordance with our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
• Work with management to identify process improvements, reduce cycle times, and minimize scrap.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on CNC milling experience , including programming, setup, and operation.
• Demonstrated ability to independently take a job from customer print to finished part.
• Strong knowledge of CNC milling processes, cutting tools, workholding, speeds and feeds, and machining strategies.
• Experience programming and setting up Haas CNC milling machines or comparable equipment.
• Working knowledge of G-code and M-code.
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and apply GD&T.
• Experience machining a variety of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and carbon steel.
• Proficiency with precision measuring instruments, including micrometers, calipers, depth gauges, and other inspection tools.
• Ability to troubleshoot machining problems and make necessary program or setup adjustments.
• Strong attention to detail, quality, and efficiency.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with the Haas VF-4SS and TRT210 trunnion.
• Experience with full 5-axis CNC milling, including simultaneous 5-axis machining.
• Proficiency with Mastercam, SolidCAM, Fusion 360, or comparable CAM software.
• Experience developing complex fixtures and machining strategies for multi-axis applications.
• Experience working in an ISO 9001-certified manufacturing environment.
• Background in aerospace, defense, or other precision manufacturing industries.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly compensation based on experience and demonstrated skill level.
• Full-time, stable employment.
• Opportunities to expand technical skills and work on a variety of precision machining projects.
• Paid time off and other company benefits discussed during the hiring process.
• Supportive, hands-on work environment where experience, initiative, and quality workmanship are valued.

What We're Looking For

We value machinists who understand the trade beyond simply pushing cycle start.

If you can review a drawing, determine how a part should be manufactured, write the program, select the right tooling, set up the machine, and produce a quality finished component, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, can think independently, and understands that precision, efficiency, and reliability are equally important.

To Apply: Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your CNC programming, setup, and 5-axis machining experience.
