Precision CNC Milling Setup Machinist -- VMC (Fanuc/Haas)

LAUNCH

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
