CNC Machinist (Lathe Focus)

Direct Hire Location: Warren, MI Shift: Day Shift | 6:00 AM 2:30 PM Pay: $27.28/hour

Job Overview This is a direct-hire CNC Machinist position supporting a precision manufacturing operation in a retainer cell environment. The role is primarily focused on CNC lathe work producing repeat, tight-tolerance components. The environment emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and process control over high-mix or job-shop work.

This position is well suited for machinists who prefer structured, steady production, take ownership of their setups and inspections, and are comfortable maintaining tight tolerances throughout long production runs.

Core Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC lathes (HAAS primarily; some mills depending on cell)
• Perform full setups including tooling, offsets, and first-piece verification
• Adjust wear and geometry offsets to maintain tight tolerances during production
• Inspect in-process and finished parts using precision measuring tools
• Make minor program edits as needed (feeds, speeds, simple adjustments)
• Read and interpret blueprints and GD&T
• Follow work instructions, standard operating procedures, and ISO requirements
• Maintain tooling, fixtures, and a clean, organized work area
• Participate in shift meetings and update production metrics as required
• Complete all quality documentation accurately
