Senior CNC Cell Lead (Haas Lathes & Mills)

Express Employment Professionals - North Hollywood

Job Description

Job Description

Lead a Haas CNC Cell in Sun Valley

Through Express Employment Professionals (North Hollywood), our Sun Valley client is seeking a senior-level CNC machinist to own and run a three-machine cell of Haas CNC lathes and/or a small cell of Haas CNC mills. You’ll juggle multiple machines, ensure smooth handoffs to operators, and jump in to solve technical challenges across setups and production.

What your day looks like

You arrive, review the day’s drawings and specs, lay out work, and kick off first-article runs. While one part is proving out, you’re preparing the next setup, designing a quick fixture, and coordinating with fellow machinists to keep the cell moving. You’ll use your shop math, GD&T fluency, and full G-code knowledge to make sure parts are practical to produce—economically and repeatably.

Key responsibilities
  • Set up and operate a variety of CNC equipment for first and subsequent operations.
  • Lead and run Haas CNC lathes and mills, including multi-axis machines, in a low-volume/high-mix environment.
  • Create and refine your own setups; perform rapid changeovers to meet demand.
  • Design and fabricate tools and fixtures to support manufacturing of components and assemblies.
  • Interpret verbal instructions, engineering drawings, and specifications.
  • Apply strong independent judgment, shop mathematics, and sound machining practices.
  • Lay out work based on part knowledge and engineering principles; design for manufacturability.
  • Collaborate with machinists and operators to hand off machines and troubleshoot issues.
Qualifications
  • Hands-on setup and operation of Haas CNC lathes and mills.
  • Experience with sub-spindle, live tooling, and bar feeders.
  • Full G-code proficiency; solid grasp of basic shop math.
  • Comfortable handling both delicate small parts and larger/heavier stock.
  • Proficient with micrometers, calipers, and related inspection tools.
  • Team-oriented, detail-focused, and able to follow direction or work independently.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and drive continuous improvement.
  • Prior Haas experience preferred.
Physical requirements
  • Move moderate weight (50+ lbs.) via bending, stooping, or reaching on a daily basis.
  • Sit or stand for 8+ hours; walk, bend, and stretch consistent with a typical trades role.
Proficiencies
  • GD&T
  • CNC Tooling
  • Troubleshooting Skills
  • G-Code
  • CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
