CNC Machinist

Voxel is seeking a CNC Machinist to learn the setup, operation, and inspection of tight-tolerance parts used in our advanced manufacturing process. This role is for someone starting their career in CNC machining who wants to develop their skills through hands-on experience and mentorship from our senior team. Voxel is a leader in Pulsed Electrochemical Machining (PECM), an advanced manufacturing process unrivaled in its ability to quickly and accurately machine specialty metal alloys. Our mission is to use PECM and related manufacturing technologies to supply critical, high-value parts to aerospace, energy, and medical customers. At Voxel, we focus on solving meaningful manufacturing challenges in aerospace, energy, transportation, and healthcare. Our work results in real, tangible products - giving engineers the opportunity to see the direct impact of what they build. As a CNC Machinist you will assist with preparing machines, loading tools, setting work offsets, proving out programs, making careful adjustments, running parts, and inspecting your work. Most of our parts are made for Voxel's internal use, including PECM electrodes, fixtures, machine components, and prototype hardware. The work requires patience, precision, and a willingness to learn. This is not a button-pusher position. We are looking for someone to collaborate with the team and learn to think through setups, understand drawings, use inspection tools correctly, and grow toward making program edits and eventually programming parts from scratch.
