Overview:
We're hiring a hands-on CNC Programmer & Machinist for our precision machining and tooling facility outside of Louisville, KY.
Alongside the parts we're known for providing the machining industry, this site machines large-format dies and equipment for the extrusion industry, holding tight tolerances on 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes.
We're looking for a machinist who came up on the shop floor, has deep hands-on experience, and has learned true CNC programming along the way. You'll write and edit programs in NX, including full 5-axis mill programming, then head to the floor to prove them out yourself. You'll still run setups, in-process inspections, and program adjustments daily.
This is work for advanced hands-on machinists with the programming skill to build the process from the ground up.
Why Join Us- Advanced Machines: Run and program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes daily.

- Program Validation: Prove out your own programs at the machine, and partner with machinists to ensure programs run reliably in production.
- Setups: Set up, operate, and maintain multiple CNC mills and lathes.
- Blueprints: Interpret complex prints, GD&T specs, and work instructions.
- Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, calipers, and height gauges.
- Program Adjustments: Dial in cycles and cutting parameters to keep processes on spec.
- Tooling Maintenance: Maintain and resurface tooling used in your machines.
- Troubleshooting: Solve complex problems, pulling in technical experts as needed.
