Step into a shop where precision is the language and quality is the standard. As our CNC Milling Setup Specialist, you’ll turn complex prints into flawless parts for demanding applications.

A Day in the Life

Morning: Review work orders and prints, load G‑code, select tooling, and dial in workholding for first‑article runs on 3–5+ axis VMCs. Verify zero points and offsets before the first chip flies.

Midday: Run prototypes and production parts, perform in‑process checks with gauges and inspection tools, adjust feeds/speeds and wear offsets, and document results against specifications.

Afternoon: Troubleshoot issues as they surface, confer with engineering and production to refine cycle times and surface finishes, and prep the floor for the next run with efficient changeovers.

Wrap‑up: Perform routine maintenance, clean and stage the work area, and ensure safety protocols are followed so tomorrow starts just as strong.

What You’ll Do
  • Set up and operate CNC milling machines to manufacture precision components.
  • Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications with accuracy.
  • Execute first‑piece and final inspections; confirm parts meet spec.
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and perform routine machine maintenance.
  • Partner with engineering/production to optimize machining processes.
  • Maintain an organized, safe, and compliant workstation.

  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical training in machining preferred.
  • Hands‑on CNC machining experience with a strong emphasis on milling.
  • Fluency in reading prints and technical drawings.
  • Detail‑driven mindset and a passion for quality workmanship.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced setting.
  • Resourceful problem solver with a proactive approach.
Physical Requirements
  • Stand for extended periods and perform repetitive motions.
  • Manual dexterity for handling small parts and precision tools.
  • Lift up to 50 pounds as needed.
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Vision insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Paid holidays

  • G‑Code
  • CNC machine setup and changeover
  • Advanced inspection and gauge measurement
