Air Boss is actively hiring a CNC Programmer / Machinist to support its tooling department in Auburn Hills, MI. This role supports both mold repair work and new mold manufacturing inside a busy rubber injection molding environment.

Why This Role Exists

This role exists because Air Boss continues to expand tooling department capabilities supporting both ongoing mold repair work and new mold introduction. The tooling team plays a critical role in keeping production running while also supporting new manufacturing initiatives.

This is a hands-on position where you will own the full machining process - from programming through setup, operation, inspection, and troubleshooting. The shop is looking for machinists who enjoy problem-solving, varied work, and taking ownership of their jobs rather than simply loading production parts all day.

The Work You'll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

• Create and edit CNC programs using Fusion 360
• Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes
• Machine and repair rubber injection molds
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting and process adjustments
• Work from customer-supplied CAD models
• Machine repaired and welded tooling back to specification
• Perform inspection using calipers, micrometers, and precision measuring tools
• Utilize new Creaform scanning technology as part of the inspection and repair workflow
• Support both mold repair work and occasional new mold builds
• Collaborate closely with tool room leadership and operators

This is a high-variety environment where job sizes, complexity, and repair scope can change from day to day.

What We're Looking For Required

• Experience setting up and operating CNC mills and/or lathes
• Ability to read blueprints and CAD models
• Strong understanding of tooling, offsets, and machining processes
• Comfortable performing inspections using precision measuring tools
• Reliable work history with strong tenure
• Team-oriented mindset

Preferred

• Fusion 360 experience
