We are seeking experienced CNC Machinists to machine large, custom components in a job shop environment.

Key Responsibilities

Set up and operate CNC equipment including 2-axis lathes, 3-axis mills, and 4-axis horizontal boring mills.
Use precision machinery to perform turning, milling, and boring operations on large custom components with high accuracy and repeatability.
Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
Determine tooling, workholding, and machine setups for large, custom components.
Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs for 2D, 3-axis milling, 2-axis turning, and boring operations.
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 equipment including 2-axis lathes, 3-axis mills, and 4-axis horizontal boring mills.
Capabilities: Ability to perform turning, boring, and multi-axis milling operations on custom, fabricated, and heavy components.
Strong setup experience machining large, custom, or low-volume components.
Required: Experience with G-code and/or M-code programming and interpretation for CNC machine control.
Preferred: Strong proficiency with Mastercam CAD/CAM software, including creating, editing, and optimizing CNC programs for all machine types.
Experience with CNC program troubleshooting, toolpath optimization, and setup verification.
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

Compensation

Pay: $30–$40 per hour, based on experience
Benefits:
- Medical, vision, and optional dental insurance
- Two weeks of paid time off
