Job Description & How to Apply Below
Shifts:
multiple available
Pay: $30–$50/hour (depending on experience). Multiple openings available.
Picture your day: you kick off with a quick huddle alongside engineers, review a complex print, and fixture a workpiece on a DMG Mori 5-axis mill with Siemens controls. You dial in the setup, prove out toolpaths, and turn challenging materials—like Inconel or even metal 3D-printed preforms—into tight-tolerance parts. As production scales, you toggle between prototypes and batches, always looking for a cleaner cut, a smarter sequence, a more efficient approach.
Over the first months, you’ll start editing existing programs; by 6–12 months, you’re on a clear path toward authoring full CNC programs.
What You’ll DoSet up and operate 5-axis CNC mills to create complex, high-precision components.
Move fluidly between rapid prototype work and ramping production as capacity grows.
Partner closely with engineering to troubleshoot, iterate, and improve manufacturability.
Ramp into programming responsibility: begin by refining/editing programs and progress to full CNC programming within 6–12 months (e.g., Mastercam or similar CAM).Machine a range of materials, including exotic alloys like Inconel and metal additively manufactured parts, based on experience.
What You’ll Bring Hands-on 5-axis milling experience — non-negotiable.
Strong diagnostic mindset and comfort operating beyond rigid, predefined procedures.
Authentic drive to level up into a more technical, programming-focused role.
Nice to Have
