CNC Operator/Programmer

What You’ll Do

You’ll own much of the machining process—from programming and setup through inspection and continuous improvement.

Turn Designs Into Parts

• Set up and operate CNC routers, mills, and other CNC equipment.
• Create, modify, and optimize CNC tool paths using CAM software.
• Review programs before machining to catch potential issues before material is cut.
• Load tooling, fixtures, and materials and prepare machines for production runs.
• Monitor machining operations and adjust programs or setups when needed to maintain quality and efficiency.

Make Precision the Standard

• Inspect finished components using calipers, micrometers, indicators, and other precision measuring tools.
• Compare completed work against engineering drawings, specifications, and tolerances.
• Recognize machining or quality issues and determine what needs to change.
• Maintain the attention to detail necessary to produce consistent, repeatable results.

Know Your Machines

• Perform routine preventive maintenance, cleaning, lubrication, and tool changes.
• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and equipment issues.
• Maintain tooling inventory and help identify replacement tooling needs.
• Keep machines, tooling, and work areas organized and ready for production.

Help Manufacturing Work Better

• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, the Mold Shop, Production, Maintenance, and Quality.
• Build and modify fixtures that improve manufacturing operations.
• Support new projects and changing production needs.
• Identify better ways to program, machine, fixture, and produce components.
• Participate in continuous improvement efforts that improve quality, efficiency, and overall manufacturing performance.

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on CNC machining experience.
• Understanding of CNC setup and machine operation.
• Experience creating or modifying CNC tool paths using CAD/CAM software.
• Ability to read blueprints, engineering drawings, and ideally GD&T.
• Knowledge of precision measuring equipment such as calipers, micrometers, and indicators.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work independently.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and serious about producing quality work.
• Technical certificate or associate degree in CNC Machining, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field—or developed skills through hands-on experience.

What Sets You Up For Success

The strongest CNC professionals tend to have one thing in common: When something isn’t right, they need to know why. They don’t just remake the part and move on. They look at the program. The tooling. The setup. The machine. The material. The measurement. They solve the problem.

The people who thrive in this role are:

• Mechanically minded and naturally curious about how things work.
• Precise because thousandths matter.
• Independent and comfortable taking ownership of their work.
• Problem solvers who don’t panic when a machining job becomes complicated.
• Quality-focused and willing to verify their own work.
• Process-minded and constantly looking for a cleaner, faster, or more reliable way to machine a part.
• Adaptable enough to move between new projects, production needs, and troubleshooting.

What You Can Expect

This is a hands-on technical role where your skills directly support how MasterSpas manufactures its products. You can expect:

• The opportunity to program as well as operate CNC equipment.
• A mix of molds, fixtures, patterns, production components, and new manufacturing projects rather than simply producing the same part all day.
• Close collaboration with Manufacturing Engineering and the Mold Shop.
• Opportunities to improve machining processes—not simply follow them.
• A role with a company building hot tubs and swim spas right here in the United States to help people around the world Live Life Better.
