Precision CNC Setup Machinist -- Prototypes (Mazak/Doosan)

T&D Machine

Job Description

Job Description

A day in this role

You roll in, review the setup sheet, stage tooling, and bring a Mazak or Doosan mill/lathe online for a short-run or prototype job. You touch off tools, set work and tool offsets, run a first-article, and confirm the part meets blueprint specs to ±0.0005" using indicators, calipers, and micrometers. You collaborate with experienced programmers and machinists, fine-tune G-code when needed, and suggest smarter ways to hit tolerance faster. Then you rinse and repeat for the next unique part—because variety is the norm here.

What you'll handle
  • Set up CNC mills and lathes (Mazak & Doosan) for short-run and prototype work
  • Touch off tooling, dial in work/tool offsets, and validate first-article parts
  • Hold tight tolerances (±0.0005") confidently and consistently
  • Collaborate directly with skilled programmers and seasoned machinists
  • Offer process improvements—and be heard
What you bring
  • Fluency with setup sheets, indicators, micrometers, and inspection techniques
  • Comfort with challenging setups and demanding tolerances
  • An eye for whether a part is right the moment it comes off the machine
  • A calm, respectful communication style; we maintain a no-jerks environment
Core proficiencies
  • GD&T
  • CNC Tooling
  • G-Code
  • Blueprint Reading
Machines & technologies you’ll use
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
  • Horizontal Machining Center (3–4 axis)
  • Calipers and Micrometers
  • Forklifts
Why you’ll like it here
  • Competitive pay for proven skill
  • Air-conditioned, well-equipped shop with new machines
  • A team that takes real pride in craftsmanship
  • Health, dental, vision insurance and 401(k)
  • Predictable, sane hours—home in time for family

If you’d rather make chips than excuses, let’s talk.
