CNC Machinist / Automation Cell Technician

Position Summary

Advanced Technology Systems Company (ATSC) is seeking an experienced CNC Machinist / Automation Cell Technician to support CNC machining, automated fabrication equipment, robotic welding operations, and precision structural assembly.

The primary responsibility of this position is setup, programming, and operation of Haas CNC milling equipment, including our current Haas TM-3P and any future replacement or upgraded CNC equipment. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on Haas experience, including G-code and M-code, tooling, work holding, setup, offsets, feeds and speeds, program verification, troubleshooting, and first-part inspection.

Because CNC machining alone does not represent a full-time workload in our current manufacturing environment, this position will also support other automated manufacturing equipment, including a JD Squared XR12 CNC tube and pipe cutting system and robotic welding cells. Training can be provided on equipment-specific software and processes. The successful candidate should be mechanically capable, comfortable learning new manufacturing technologies, and able to move between machining, automated fabrication, inspection, fit-up, and production-support activities as workload requires.

Key Responsibilities

• Haas CNC Setup & Operation:
  Set up and operate Haas CNC milling equipment, including machine preparation, work holding, tooling, work offsets, tool offsets, probing or indicating as applicable, and first-part setup.
• CNC Programming:
  Create, edit, troubleshoot, and optimize CNC programs using appropriate G-code and M-code. Review existing programs and make controlled adjustments to improve machining accuracy, reliability, and efficiency.
• Machining Process Development:
  Select appropriate cutting tools, work holding methods, feeds, speeds, depths of cut, machining sequences, and other process parameters based on material, geometry, tolerance, and tooling requirements.
• Blueprint & Manufacturing Drawing Interpretation:
  Read and interpret engineering drawings, machining requirements, weld symbols, tolerances, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Identify critical dimensions and manufacturing requirements before beginning work.
• First-Part & In-Process Inspection:
  Inspect machined and fabricated parts using appropriate precision measuring equipment, including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, indicators, squares, gauges, and other inspection tools. Verify first parts before proceeding with production.
• XR12 Tube Cutter Programming & Operation:
  Support programming and operation of the JD Squared XR12 CNC tube and pipe cutting system. Import released STEP files into the machine programming software, verify part geometry and stock profile, assign cutting and drilling operations, establish process sequence, verify the program, and prepare jobs for production.
• XR12 Material Setup:
  Load, orient, support, and verify material on the XR12, including square tube, rectangular tube, round tube or pipe, angle, channel, and other approved structural profiles. Confirm material dimensions, wall thickness, orientation, machine setup, and clearances before processing.
• Plasma Process Setup:
  Learn and apply approved Hypertherm Powermax
  85 SYNC plasma cutting processes, including appropriate cartridge selection, amperage, cut parameters, pierce requirements, and material-specific settings.
• XR12 Drilling Operations:
  Set up and verify drilling operations performed on the XR12, including drill selection, hole requirements, appropriate drilling parameters, tool access, and operation sequencing.
• Robotic Welding Cell Support:
  Support setup and operation of automated robotic welding cells. Duties may include fixture setup, program verification, part loading, torch alignment, TCP (Tool Center Point) verification, weld parameter verification, and routine equipment checks. Robot-specific programming and setup procedures may be learned through training.
• Fixture Setup & Alignment:
  Set up, align, and secure machining fixtures, weldment fixtures, clamps, tooling, and work holding devices for CNC machining, robotic welding, manual welding, and fabrication operations.
• Fit-Up & Fabrication Support:
  Perform or assist with fit-up,…
