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.).
