CAD-CAM / Manufacturing Engineer - Firearms Manufacturer

Job Description

Job Description

Law Weapons, a small firearms manufacturer in Aurora, IL. We build custom firearms for law enforcement and responsible citizens, do gunsmithing, and run job-shop work for other firearms companies. It's a hands-on shop — no cubicles, no committees, no slide decks. You'll work directly with me and see your parts go from CAD to chip to finished product the same week.

I'm hiring because we're growing and I need someone who can actually own parts start-to-finish, not a button-pusher.

The Job

You'll be the person who takes a part from design through finished, in-spec product on our Haas machines. That means CAD work in Fusion 360 , CAM programming, building fixtures, setting up jobs, running first articles, and holding tight tolerances. 

This is real work, not a checklist. If you like solving problems on your feet and seeing the parts you programmed walk out the door, you'll like it here.

What You'll Actually Do

- Design and revise parts in Fusion 360

- Program toolpaths (CAM) for our Haas mills and lathes

- Set up jobs, build fixtures, run first articles

- Hold tight tolerances unsupervised

- Work on custom builds, gunsmithing jobs, and contract work

- Help me improve how the shop runs

What I Need You to Have

• 3+ years hands-on programming and running Haas CNC machines (mills and/or lathes)

• 3+ years of real CAD/CAM experience in Fusion 360

- Strong G-code, fixturing, and tooling chops

- Ability to read prints and hold tight tolerances without me hovering over you

- Valid Illinois FOID card, or able to get one

- 21 or older

Nice to Have (Not Required)

- Firearms-industry experience — AR platform, pistols, suppressors, custom builds

- Gunsmithing background

- 4th- or 5th-axis experience

- Experience setting up tooling/fixturing standards in a small shop

What This Job Is Not

- Not a button-pushing role

- Not for someone who needs constant supervision

Tell me:

- What Haas models you've run

- A part you're proud of and why

- When you can start

If you've got photos of parts or fixtures you've built, bring them to the interview. That tells me more than a resume.

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
• Paid Holidays
• Ammo Perks / Employee Ammo Discount

Application Question(s):

• How many years of hands-on experience do you have programming and operating Haas CNC machines?
• Do you have at least 3 years of experience using both Fusion 360
• Do you have a valid Illinois FOID card.
• Are you 21 years of age or older?
• Are you able to commute to Aurora, IL for an on-site, in-person job?
