CNC Lathe Machinist/Programmer

CNC Machinist Opportunity We are seeking a versatile and detail-oriented CNC Machinist with strong experience in both lathe and milling operations. This position is for a well versatile machinist that has a strong experience with lathes. We have other machines in house that will be available for use such as a 5 axis mill, Wire EDM. CMM, Waterjet, and 3 axis Mill, but taking ownership of lathe will come first. This is a R&D shop so most work is never the same and always different materials. Key Responsibilities Operate, set up, and maintain Hyundai WIA CNC lathes and CNC mills to produce high-quality parts. Program and edit CNC machine tool paths using ESPRIT CAM software or Fusion 360. Interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to execute precise machining tasks. Select and adjust tools, offsets, and feeds/speeds to optimize machine performance and part accuracy. Perform quality control inspections using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, height gauges). Troubleshoot machining issues and collaborate with engineering and production teams to enhance processes. Maintain a clean and safe work environment, complying with all safety standards and operational protocols. Work closely with fellow machinists and team members to meet production schedules and quality expectations. Qualifications Proven experience in CNC machining, with expertise in both lathe and mill operations. Proficient in CNC programming, particularly using ESPRIT software or Fusion 360. Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and technical specifications. Solid understanding of machining principles, tooling selection, and materials behavior. Skilled in machine setup, adjustments, and operational troubleshooting. Knowledge of quality control methods and precision inspection tools. Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality parts. Able to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic team environment. Previous experience in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment is a plus.
