Full job description

Overview

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our machine shop.

You'll program, set up, and run CNC lathes and mills, entering zero and reference points, setting tool registers and offsets, and proving out part programs before the first piece runs.

You'll also run manual, conventional, and special-purpose machines. The shop math here runs to geometry and trigonometry, and when a print or setup doesn't add up, you confer with engineers and programmers to resolve it.

Why Join Us

  • Full job control: Program, set up, prove out, and inspect your parts. Compensation

  • Based on relevant experience, skill level, and job knowledge.

  • Final hourly rate is set during the interview.

  • Competitive offers around $30 / hr Responsibilities

  • Programming: Enter zero and reference points, offsets, and conditional switches.

  • Program proving: Prove out part programs before production runs.

  • Setups: Install and adjust chucks, collets, tooling, and indicating vices.

  • Print reading: Study blueprints and sketches to determine dimensions and tolerances.

  • Shop math: Calculate setup requirements using geometry and trigonometry.

  • Inspection: Verify settings by measuring first-run parts and sample workpieces.

  • Troubleshooting: Detect malfunctions, adjust controls, and replace worn tools.

  • Preventive maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on machines as required.
