Big Rock Machining Co. is a precision CNC machining company serving industries including aerospace and defense. We build to print and rely on safe work, accurate information, teamwork, and disciplined processes to deliver quality parts on time.

We are hiring a CNC Machinist and will consider someone ready to learn the trade or someone who can independently set up and program precision parts. Previous CNC experience is not required for an entry-level candidate with mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn. An experienced hire will take on more advanced setup, Mastercam, inspection, and troubleshooting work.

• Operate CNC mills, lathes, or other assigned equipment at the level supported by your training.
• Follow drawings, job travelers, setup sheets, and work instructions; check parts with calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
• Monitor production, report unusual conditions promptly, and complete production and inspection records accurately.
• Keep your work area clean, organized, and safe.

• Set up tooling, fixtures, and workholding independently and verify first-piece results.
• Create, edit, prove out, and improve Mastercam toolpaths and CNC programs within assigned authorization.
• Use drawings and GD&T to inspect close-tolerance work, troubleshoot machining and part-quality issues, and help developing machinists learn.

• Dependable attendance, mechanical aptitude, basic math skills, and attention to detail.
• A commitment to safety and quality, a willingness to ask questions, and a respectful team approach.
• For entry-level applicants: a genuine willingness to learn. CNC experience is helpful but not required.
• For experienced applicants: proven independent CNC setup and operation, working knowledge of Mastercam, strong drawing and GD&T skills, precision inspection, and systematic troubleshooting.

CNC coursework or mechanical, manufacturing, automotive, fabrication, or maintenance experience can help a developing machinist. For experienced applicants, close-tolerance or aerospace machining, multi-axis work, live tooling, probing, fixture development, or familiarity with AS9100 and formal quality records are useful.

With or without reasonable accommodation, the employee must be able to stand and move for extended periods; reach, bend, and handle tools and materials; and wear required personal protective equipment.

• $18-$33 per hour, based on the level of CNC skill and experience brought to the role.
• A full-time, first-shift schedule Monday through Thursday.
• Hands-on training for developing machinists and opportunities to grow in setup, inspection, programming, tooling, and process improvement.

Apply through Indeed with your resume or work history. If you are new to CNC, tell us about your mechanical background and interest in machining. If you are experienced, tell us about the equipment, setups, and programming you have handled.
