CNC Machinist

We are seeking a skilled CNC Machinist to operate and program CNC milling and turning equipment to produce precision components to tight tolerances. The ideal candidate will ensure parts meet specifications, support continuous improvement in manufacturing processes, and maintain compliance with quality systems such as ISO 13485. This role requires strong blueprint reading, GD&T interpretation, hands-on setup and offset adjustments, and experience with CAD/CAM tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, operate and monitor CNC mills and lathes to manufacture precision parts per drawings and specifications.
• Program, edit and verify CNC programs using CAM software and onboard controls; make offsets and parameter adjustments as needed.
• Perform machine setups including tooling selection, fixturing, workholding and establishing datum/zero points.
• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints and GD&T callouts to ensure correct part geometry and tolerances.
• Use CAD and CAM systems to review part models, generate toolpaths, and collaborate with engineering on manufacturability.
• Perform in-process and final inspections using micrometers, calipers, gauges and coordinate measuring machines (CMM); document inspection results.
• Maintain compliance with ISO 13485 and internal quality procedures, complete required documentation and support audits.
• Troubleshoot machining issues, optimize cycle times, and recommend process improvements to increase yield and reduce scrap.
• Perform routine machine maintenance and housekeeping to ensure safe, efficient operation.
