Computer Numerical Control Machinist

The Machinist is a highly skilled professional responsible for independently programming, setting up, and operating CNC lathes and other machine tools to manufacture precision components. This role requires advanced machining knowledge, the ability to write and modify programs directly at the machine, select and set up tooling, and run production efficiently with minimal supervision. Experience with Okuma CNC lathes is preferred but not required;

however, strong CNC lathe experience is mandatory. The Machinist may also repair existing parts or manufacture new parts as needed.
