Machinist

Operating a range of equipment: Clausing CNC Bed Mill and Knee Mill (Acu-Rite controls), Mazak VCEZ-26, Haas VM-9 large-format VMC, Haas SL-20, manual lathes, drill press, arbor press, bench grinder, surface grinders, tapping arms, band saws, and a Mitutoyo CMM. Cutting and prepping material across a wide range of materials — aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened tool steels, and engineering plastics like Delrin and UHMW.

An experienced Machinist who can both program and run our machines. You'll work directly alongside our Lead Machinist producing precision components for custom machine builds. Parts are one-offs or small batches, pulled from engineering prints and held to tight tolerances. High-mix, low-volume work, rarely the same job twice, and you'll see a job through from setup to first article.

Education and/or Work Experience Requirements:

• We will consider candidates from a machine tool technology program or manufacturing/mechanical engineering background in place of the experience requirement — the right foundation matters more than years on a resume.
• 5+ years operating machine tools — manual, CNC, or both
• 2+ years programming experience — CAM software, conversational control, or G-code
• Confident reading engineering drawings: tolerances, GD&T, multi-view prints
• Ability to run a job completely independently — material prep through final inspection
• Efficiency mindset — you think about what comes next, not just what's in front of you Comfortable running multiple machines simultaneously without losing quality or focus Strong attention to detail and ownership of your own work
• Must be able to work under pressure and meet deadlines, while maintaining a positive attitude Lift raw materials, final products, and items packed for shipment, manually up to 50 lbs

A plus, not required:

• CNC lathe / turning center experience (Haas or similar) e Fusion 360 CAM or other CAM software
• Mazak or similar VMC experience
• Familiarity with Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD Other

Responsibilities:

• Programming and running CNC and manual machine tools — Acu-Rite and Mazatrol conversational, CAM, or G-code depending on the job
• Operating a range of equipment: Clausing CNC Bed Mill and Knee Mill (Acu-Rite controls), Mazak VCEZ-26, Haas VM-9 large-format VMC, Haas SL-20, manual lathes, drill press, arbor press, bench grinder, surface grinders, tapping arms, band saws, and a Mitutoyo CMM
• Cutting and prepping material across a wide range of materials — aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened tool steels, and engineering plastics like Delrin and UHMW
• Setting up jobs independently: fixturing, tooling, offsets, first-article inspection
• Reading engineering drawings and GD&T callouts
• Maintaining quality — you inspect your own work
• Deburring and finishing components
• Performing daily machine maintenance: coolant, lubrication, chip cleanout, and keeping your machine and work area clean
