CNC Machinist

High School Diploma or GED required; technical or vocational machining training
preferred.
 Demonstrated experience operating manual and CNC equipment, including lathes and
mills; CNC programming exposure (G-code and/or CAM systems) preferred.
 Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, GD&T, and specifications
to produce prototype and production components.
 Experience fabricating prototype, one-off, and low-volume precision components,
tooling, and fixtures.
 Working knowledge of precision inspection methods and measuring equipment.
 Strong understanding of shop math, tolerances, materials, machining processes, and
tooling selection.
 Familiarity with ISO-regulated and FDA-regulated manufacturing environments and
documentation practices preferred.
 Machinist I/II/III progression aligned with demonstrated skill level, experience, and
complexity of work performed.
 Experience – Machinist: Typically 3–5 years of machining experience in a manufacturing
or tool room environment.
 Experience – Lead Machinist: Typically 7–10 years of machining experience with
demonstrated leadership, mentoring, and work coordination responsibilities.
