CNC Set-Up Machinist

Selectek is actively looking for a CNC Set-Up Machinist responsible for performing complete setups and supporting production on (Brother, OKK, and YCM), employing MDI (Manual Data Input) mills and lathes. This role requires hands-on experience with tooling, fixturing, offsets, and first-article verification, as well as the ability to support and run programs created in Mastercam. The machinist plays a key role in maintaining part quality, process stability, and on time production in a precision manufacturing environment.

• Perform full machine setups on (Brother, OKK, and YCM), employing MDI (Manual Data Input) CNC mills and lathes, including tooling installation, work holding, fixturing, and offset adjustments.
• Load, prove out, and run CNC programs generated in Mastercam.
• Conduct first-article inspections and make necessary adjustments to ensure parts meet specifications.
• Support production runs by monitoring tool wear and making offset or process adjustments as needed.

• Work from Mastercam-generated programs; make minor edits at the control when required.
• Collaborate with programmers and engineers to improve setup efficiency, cycle time, and repeatability.
• Follow setup sheets, tooling lists, and work instructions to establish consistent processes.
