CNC Machinist / Setup Operator

Job Description

Job Description

We build machines that matter.

At AccuPlace we design and manufacture precision adhesive-placement systems used in automotive, medical, electronics, and other high-tech industries. We’re also growing our new HitchJack line — a Made-in-USA powered hitch jack that is changing how people connect and move trailers. Both product lines require tight-tolerance, well-made parts, and right now we have CNC capacity sitting idle because we need more skilled hands.

We’re looking for a CNC Machinist who can set up and run CNC mills and lathes, work on manual lathes and mills, and help us turn engineering drawings into real parts that go into machines our customers rely on every day. We’re willing to train motivated people who already have solid shop fundamentals.

What you’ll do

• Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes (and manual equipment) from engineering drawings
• Manufacture fixtures and tooling when needed
• Meet production and machine-utilization goals
• Perform in-process inspection of your own work
• Handle secondary operations (deburring, material cutting, etc.)
• Help with basic preventive maintenance and keeping the shop area clean and organized

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a CNC Machinist  or strong manual machining background with the ability and desire to learn CNC setups
• Comfortable reading prints, using measuring tools, and doing basic shop math
• Independent thinker who can work with limited supervision
• Reliable attendance and strong safety mindset
• Self-starter who takes pride in accurate, on-time work
• Able to thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment
• Technical certification or equivalent experience preferred

Why people stay here We build tangible, high-quality machines and products — not just another widget. You’ll see the parts you make go into equipment that solves real problems for customers, and you’ll have the chance to contribute as we expand HitchJack and continue developing new products. Small company, direct impact, and a team that cares about craftsmanship.

Apply even if you don’t check every single box. Tell us about the machines you’ve run and what you want to learn. We’re ready to invest in the right people so we can get more of our CNCs making chips again.
