Overview
We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in Cedar City, UT.
The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them.
Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required.
Why Join Us
-
Own the whole part: Print through final inspection stays with one machinist.
-
Prototype variety: New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production.
-
Engineer access: Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes. Compensation
-
Base pay: Market competitive and hourly — open to discussion. Tell us what you need. Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift
-
Monday - Friday Requirements
Responsibilities
- Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
- Prove-Out: Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run.
- Print Interpretation: Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models.
- Workholding: Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance.
- Program Edits: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool comp at the control.
- Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
- Design Feedback: Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability.
- ERP Entry: Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system.
