CNC Milling Engineer-Programmer (VMC & 5-Axis)

$25 - $35 per hour

Express Employment Professionals - Glendale

Job Description

Job Description

What if your next program took flight?

If you enjoy owning the process—from a clean print to a clean inspection report—this role is for you. In Chatsworth, CA, you’ll craft precision parts for aerospace, medical, industrial, consumer, and OEM partners at a company leading rapid prototyping, rapid production, and digital manufacturing (including custom plastic injection molding, tooling, investment casting patterns, and 3D printing).

Why this role?
  • Autonomy: work confidently and independently across software and machines.
  • Impact: test and inspect products, services, and software systems—and fix what isn’t right, from programs to machinery.
  • Growth: sharpen your skills in Mastercam/CamWorks and expand on 5-axis experience.
What will you do each shift?
  • Translate blueprints and technical drawings into accurate setups and offsets.
  • Program with Mastercam and CamWorks; simulate and prove out toolpaths.
  • Operate mills primarily (3–4 axis VMC and Mitsubishi 5-axis), with lathes and grinders as needed.
  • Measure twice, cut once: verify dimensions using precision instruments and document results.
  • Care for the equipment: perform regular maintenance to minimize downtime.
  • Deliver to spec: ensure quality compliance and make data-driven adjustments.
  • Protect the team: follow OSHA and company safety standards.
Are you a fit?
  • Math-ready: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, geometry, algebra—with strong trigonometry and statistics skills.
  • Clear communicator who follows written and oral instructions.
  • Steady under pressure with proven problem-solving ability.
  • Comfortable interpreting complex engineering drawings.
  • Aerospace background and the ability to produce precision parts.
  • Excellent computer and interpersonal communication skills; physical stamina; genuine interest in production and processing.
Tools you’ll touch
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
  • CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC) — Mitsubishi
  • CAM software: Mastercam, CamWorks, GibbsCAM
Logistics
  • Full-time, temp-to-hire
  • Monday–Friday swing shift, 3:30 PM to 12:00 AM
  • Pay: $25–$35 per hour, depending on experience
  • Location: Chatsworth, CA
