• Set up and operate CNC lathes, mill/turn machines, and multi-axis milling equipment.
• Work with multi-turret and multi-spindle machining systems.
• Interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and machining tolerances.
• Perform first-article inspections, dimensional measurements, and offset adjustments.
• Select and set up appropriate tooling, fixtures, and machining parameters.
• Troubleshoot programming, tooling, setup, and machining challenges independently.
• Ensure machining processes are consistent, accurate, and repeatable.
• Use precision measuring instruments and inspection techniques to maintain quality standards.
• Identify opportunities to improve machining processes, efficiency, and production quality.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe working environment.
• Collaborate with team members to support production requirements and continuous improvement initiatives.

Required:

• Strong experience with multi-axis CNC machining.
• Experience with mill/turn equipment and multi-turret or multi-spindle machining.
• Practical experience with 3-axis and 4-axis milling.
• Familiarity with Fanuc CNC controls.
• Ability to independently program, set up, troubleshoot, and optimize CNC machining operations.
• Strong understanding of machining processes, cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and tooling selection.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and work to precise tolerances.
• Experience using precision measuring equipment and inspection techniques.
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team.

Preferred:

• Experience with GibbsCAM or Mastercam.
• Experience working with Nakamura, Doosan, or Matsuura CNC equipment.
• Experience developing and improving machining processes.
• Familiarity with advanced mill/turn programming and complex machining operations.
• An interest in learning new technologies and improving manufacturing processes.

This position operates on rotating day and afternoon shifts.

Day Shift:

• Monday to Friday
• 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM

Afternoon Shift:

• Monday to Thursday
• 2:45 PM – 1:15 AM

Candidates must be comfortable rotating between both shifts.

• Modern Equipment: Work with Nakamura, Doosan, and Matsuura CNC machinery in a well-maintained facility.
• Established Company: Join a precision machining business with a diverse customer base.
• Technical Challenges: Apply your machining and programming expertise across a variety of manufacturing requirements.
• Professional Growth: Join an organization that values continuous learning, technical development, and process improvement.
• Quality-Focused Environment: Work alongside a team committed to precision, reliability, and high-quality workmanship.
• Long-Term Opportunity: Permanent, full-time employment with an established manufacturing company.

We're looking for an experienced CNC professional who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving technical challenges, and can confidently take a machining project from programming through setup and inspection.

The successful candidate will be someone who combines strong technical knowledge with a hands-on approach, works well independently, and is motivated to contribute to a high-performing precision machining environment.
