Responsibilities:

• Independently program, set up, and operate HAAS CNC machines (3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis)
• Work on custom automation and low-volume precision components
• Use CAM software (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or similar) to create and modify programs
• Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and 3D models
• Select tooling, speeds, and feeds for complex machining operations
• Inspect parts using precision measurement tools
• Troubleshoot machining issues and optimize processes
• Work independently with minimal supervision
• Collaborate with engineering and quality teams when needed

Experience:

• 5+ years CNC machining experience (job shop or custom manufacturing preferred)
• Strong CNC setup and programming ability
• Experience with HAAS machines and multi‑axis machining
• Ability to read complex engineering drawings and GD&T
• CAM programming experience is required
• Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to work independently on 3rd shift

Why Work Here:

• Strong benefits package with company‑paid health insurance
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Paid time off
• Higher effective pay due to shift premium
• Stable long‑term employment in a growing company

We are actively hiring due to increased production demand and expanding automation projects.
