CNC Machinist - Programmer Position Overview

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

  • 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
    • Paid major holidays
    • Annual bonus and profit-sharing opportunities
    • On-site parking
