What You'll Run

Coastal runs four platform families:

Platform What it is here

Large-envelope turning, long-cycle, heavy material

Multi-tasking turn/mill centers — sub-spindle, live tooling, B-axis.

Simultaneous and 3+2 machining of complex geometry

Prismatic and rotary work

Depth on one family matters more to us than surface familiarity with all four. Mill-Turn and 5-Axis setup experience carries a premium.

Work orders, routings, and setup documentation are managed in ProShop. Machine performance is monitored through Datanomix.

Three Levels. One Application.

**Machinist I **
Runs proven programs to a documented setup sheet. Loads and unloads, adjusts offsets, deburrs, and performs in-process inspection. You bring shop math, precision measurement (calipers, micrometers, indicators), and the discipline to follow a setup sheet exactly.
Machining school, certificate, or comparable hands-on experience.

**Machinist II **
Sets up and runs independently on at least one platform family. Works to GD&T, selects and proves tooling, establishes tool and work offsets, makes control-level corrections, and holds tolerance across a full run without support.
3+ years CNC setup and operation.

**Senior Machinist **
Sets up complex work independently across multiple platform families. Prepares and supports first articles, drives tooling and process decisions at the machine, and troubleshoots problem jobs others can't.
7+ years, with demonstrated setup experience on Mill-Turn or 5-Axis.

Required at Every Level

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools
• Reliable attendance on a night schedule
• Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR

Preferred

• Aerospace, defense, or oil & gas machining background
• Experience in an AS9100 or ISO 9001 environment
• GD&T interpretation per current ASME Y14.5

How We Operate

Every machinist at Coastal has the authority to stop a job on a quality concern, on any shift, without waiting for approval. We would rather lose a part than ship a bad one.

Physical Demands & Environment

Active machine shop: extended standing, lifting up to 50lbs, exposure to noise, coolant, and metal chips. Hearing and eye protection required on the floor. Steel-toe footwear required.
