CNC Setup and Prove-Out Technician -- Plastics & Composites

Job Description

Job Description

Own the setup. Keep production moving.

SIS, an EIS company | Canton, GA

Hourly Pay: $25–35

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 50 scheduled work hours per week

• First shift: 5:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
• Second shift: 3:00 p.m.–1:30 a.m. (+ $1.50/hour shift differential )

Openings on both shifts; immediate hiring focus on second shift. Weekend overtime is currently available on Saturdays and Sundays based on production needs.

You start by reviewing the job packet, setting tooling and fixtures, dialing in workholding, and establishing offsets. You safely prove out an approved program, inspect the first part, and get the green light from Quality or the appropriate approver. With the setup validated, you keep the run moving—monitoring tool wear, part quality, and cycle consistency—making authorized parameter tweaks and simple at-machine program edits as needed. You partner with operators to share best practices and escalate complex issues to the Production Lead, Operations Specialists, Engineering, Quality, or Maintenance.

• Independently set up and operate CNC equipment with complete ownership of tooling, fixtures, workholding, and offsets
• Prove out approved programs safely; inspect initial parts and obtain required approvals before production
• Run production, monitor part quality and tool condition, and troubleshoot routine machining and setup issues
• Make authorized program and cutting-parameter adjustments; create simple programs at the machine when needed
• Guide operators on job requirements, maintain setup documentation, and escalate complex challenges appropriately

• Hands-on CNC experience performing independent setups, first-article verification, and production runs
• Depth in at least one machine family: mills, lathes, or routers
• Ability to read blueprints and GD interpret CNC programs and setup documents
• Working knowledge of tooling, workholding, offsets, cutting parameters, precision measurement, and safe prove-out
• Clear communication, sound troubleshooting judgment, and willingness to do both setups and standard runs

Our floor includes Haas and Smart mills and lathes, plus KOMO, Heian, and Homag routers. Experience on these platforms is helpful. Background in plastics or composites is a plus; comparable CNC experience in other materials is welcome.

Founded in 1989, SIS is part of EIS Fabrication Solutions. We manufacture precision components from high-performance plastics, composites, and other non-metallic materials for industries such as power generation, aerospace and defense, medical equipment, and oil and gas. Work ranges from prototypes to full production, with parts used in electrical insulation, power generation equipment, medical imaging systems, and other demanding applications.

Take ownership of setups while staying hands-on with production. You’ll collaborate with experienced technical teammates, help operators build consistency, and grow toward advanced troubleshooting and mentoring responsibilities.

This position has no direct supervisory responsibilities.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) match: 100% on your first 3% contributed, plus 50% on the next 3%

• HSA/FSA options, including company HSA contributions for eligible medical plans
• Employee Assistance Program, PerkSpot discounts, and optional supplemental and pet insurance

Benefits are subject to eligibility and applicable plan terms.
