LAUNCH

Job Description

Job Description

Your day, mastered in thousandths

You roll up to a Haas or DMG Mori, call up the program, and start crafting accuracy. You choose the right tooling and fixtures, upload the program, and run a flawless first article using micrometers, calipers, and gauges. Blueprints aren’t just readable—they’re a roadmap you navigate with confidence. Throughout the shift you keep as many as two vertical milling centers humming, making smart offsets and light troubleshooting adjustments as you go. Depending on the job mix, you’ll knock out 1–5 setups in a single day, all while collaborating in a fast-paced, team-focused environment.

What you’ll do
  • Set up and operate CNC vertical milling centers per job orders and specifications
  • Select and install tooling and fixtures; upload programs to the control
  • Interpret blueprints and manufacturing documentation
  • Perform first-piece and in-process inspections with micrometers, calipers, gauges, and related metrology tools
  • Adjust machine parameters and perform minor troubleshooting as needed
  • Run up to two machines simultaneously; complete 1–5 setups daily based on workload
  • Work effectively within a fast-paced, collaborative shop culture
Must-haves
  • Hands-on CNC setup experience on vertical milling centers
  • Strong blueprint reading ability
  • Quality inspection proficiency using micrometers, calipers, and gauges
  • Experience with Fanuc controls
Nice to have
  • Background setting up and running Haas VMCs
  • Ability to edit programs at the control
  • Working knowledge of G and M codes
  • Experience with CNC machines up to 5-axis
Machines you’ll encounter
  • Haas VF-2 and VF-5 vertical mills
  • DMG Mori CMX 1100 mills
  • DMG Mori NVX 5100 and 7000 mills
  • Okuma mills and lathes
Core proficiencies
  • CNC tooling selection and application
  • G-code and M-code familiarity
  • CNC machine setup and changeover
  • Efficient setups for production runs
Technologies and tools
  • CNC mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Haas, Doosan, Fanuc
  • Multimeter
  • CNC lathe (2–4 axis) — Haas, Doosan
  • Vertical lathe
