CNC Machinist

CNC Machinist

We are seeking an experienced CNC Machinist to produce high-precision components for medical device applications. The ideal candidate will set up and operate CNC lathes and milling machines, interpret blueprints using GD&T, and consistently meet quality standards under ISO 13485. This role supports production goals while maintaining strict adherence to regulatory and quality requirements in a Lean manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, program, and operate CNC lathes and milling machines to produce precision parts to print specifications.
• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T callouts to ensure dimensional and geometric compliance.
• Perform first-article inspections and in-process measurements using calipers, micrometers, CMMs, and other metrology tools; document results per ISO 13485 procedures.
• Create, revise, and verify CNC programs using CAM software and collaborate with engineers on CAD models as needed.
• Select tooling, cutting speeds, feeds, and work holding appropriate for materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt chrome.
• Maintain accurate production records, nonconformance reports, and quality documentation in compliance with ISO and internal procedures.
• Troubleshoot machining issues, make corrective adjustments to tooling and programs, and implement process improvements to reduce scrap and cycle time.
• Follow cleanroom or controlled-environment protocols required for medical device manufacturing.
• Support Lean Manufacturing initiatives by identifying waste, participating in continuous improvement activities, and suggesting process optimizations.
• Train and mentor junior machinists and operators on machine setup, safe operation, and quality expectations.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of CNC machining experience, including setup and operation of lathes and milling centers.
• Hands-on experience in the medical device industry or with medical-grade components preferred; strong knowledge of ISO 13485 requirements.
• Proficient reading and applying GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) to ensure part conformity.
• Experience machining stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt chrome or other difficult-to-machine alloys.
• Familiarity with CAM (e.g., Mastercam) and CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) tools for program creation and revision.
• Strong metrology skills, including use of calipers, micrometers, gauges, and CMMs.
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and a demonstrated history of process improvement.
• High school diploma or equivalent; technical certificate or associate degree in machining, manufacturing technology, or related field preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and commitment to quality and regulatory compliance.
