CNC Machinist

What You'll Do

• Create and optimize CNC programs in CAM software (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or similar).
• Set up and run 5-axis Haas mills and Haas lathes to produce precision prototype components from drawings, CAD models, and toolpaths.
• Select tooling, cutting parameters, and machining strategies across a wide range of materials.
• Design, fabricate, and modify fixtures, jigs, and workholding solutions for high-mix, low-volume work.
• Perform first-article inspections and verify dimensional accuracy with precision measuring equipment.
• Deburr, finish, tap, ream, and bench-fit parts to spec.
• Support mechanical assembly of prototypes, engineering fixtures, and test equipment.
• Work directly with design and manufacturing engineers to improve manufacturability, machining efficiency, and part quality.
• Manage raw stock, tooling, and finished parts with clear organization and traceability.
• Maintain equipment, tooling, and a clean, safe workspace, and follow all safety and quality procedures.

What You Bring

• 4+ years of CNC machining experience, ideally in prototype or low-volume work.
• Hands-on experience programming and running 5-axis Haas mills and Haas lathes.
• Proficiency with CAM software (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or equivalent).
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and GD&T.
• Experience machining aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, plastics, and other engineering materials.
• Experience designing and building custom fixtures and workholding.
• Solid bench and assembly skills: deburring, tapping, reaming, fitting, finishing.
• Proficiency with precision inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators, bore gauges).
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with engineers and technicians.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting robotics, automation, aerospace, or other R&D prototype environments.
• Familiarity with a parametric CAD package such as SolidWorks (for editing models and designing fixtures).
• Working knowledge of process optimization, fixture design, and workholding best practices.
• Experience on additional machine tools (manual mill, manual lathe, surface grinder, etc.).
