  • Make program edits and machine adjustments to improve efficiency, accuracy, and part quality.
  • Inspect finished parts to ensure they meet quality standards and engineering specifications.
  • Troubleshoot machining and programming issues to maintain productivity.
  • Follow all safety and quality standards while meeting production deadlines.
Qualifications
  • Proven experience operating CNC mills and lathes.
  • Strong setup experience machining large, custom, or low-volume components.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings.
  • Required: Strong proficiency with Mastercam CAD/CAM software , including creating, editing, and optimizing CNC programs.
  • Experience with CNC program troubleshooting, toolpath optimization, and setup verification.
  • Experience machining fabricated, welded, or heavy components is an asset.
  • Strong attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and problem-solving skills.
Schedule
  • Monday–Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM (approximately 50+ hours/week).
  • Optional Saturday overtime: 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
  • Overtime paid at 1.5x the regular hourly rate.
Pay
  • $30–$40 per hour , based on experience.
Benefits
  • Medical, vision, and optional dental insurance.
  • Two weeks of paid time off.
  • Paid major holidays.
  • Annual bonus and profit-sharing opportunities.
  • On-site parking.
