CNC Machinist

This role focuses on setting up and running CNC milling machining centers to perform value-added machining on pre-cast underbody automotive parts. You will recall and load programs, set up tools, run first-piece parts, and perform in-machine programming, editing, and offsets to support high-volume production. You will work closely with existing CAM-generated programs and ensure that each machining operation meets quality, efficiency, and safety standards in a busy, well-organized manufacturing environment.

Handle CNC mill start-ups, including recalling programs, loading cutting tools, and running first-piece parts to verify quality and accuracy.

Perform in-machine programming using G and M codes, including conversational programming directly at the CNC controls.

Edit existing programs and make tool and work offsets as needed during production runs to maintain part quality and process stability.

Support machine operators during production by troubleshooting issues, adjusting offsets, and ensuring machines run efficiently.

Use CNC mill machining centers to perform value-added machining on pre-casted underbody automotive parts, including drilling, boring, and other material removal operations.

Complete multiple setups per shift, typically handling 34 setups per day, while maintaining consistent quality and throughput.

Monitor machine performance during high-production runs and respond quickly to any alarms, tool wear, or process deviations.

Work collaboratively with production staff and robotics systems to keep machines running smoothly and minimize downtime.

Work scheduled shifts and be available to work 23 Saturdays per month and occasional Sundays as needed.

Minimum of 4 years of machining experience, with a strong focus on CNC milling operations.

Hands-on experience with CNC mill machining centers in a production environment.

Proficiency in entering G and M codes and performing conversational programming directly at the CNC machine.

Ability to edit CNC programs and make precise tool and work offsets during production runs.

Experience performing CNC mill setups, including recalling programs, loading tools, and running first-piece inspections.

Comfort working in a high-production, fast-paced machining environment.

Ability to support machine operators by troubleshooting machining issues and adjusting programs or offsets as needed.
