CNC Machinist

Aegis is partnered with a growing industrial machining and fabrication company specializing in custom machining, equipment repair, and precision components for heavy industrial applications. They are looking to add experienced CNC Machinists to their team in East Chicago.

This is a hands-on role focused on custom, one-off, and low-volume machining rather than repetitive production work. They're looking for someone who can independently set up, program, and operate CNC mills and/or lathes, with an emphasis on programming directly at the machine.

Responsibilities:

• Independently set up, program, and operate CNC mills and/or CNC lathes
• Read and interpret blueprints to determine machining requirements
• Write, edit, and troubleshoot G-code/M-code programs directly at the machine
• Select tooling, establish work offsets, and adjust machining parameters
• Machine custom and replacement components for industrial equipment
• Inspect finished parts using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring tools
• Maintain tight tolerances and troubleshoot machining issues

Requirements:

• 2–4 years of CNC machining experience preferred
• Ability to independently set up and program CNC mills and/or lathes (experience with either is acceptable)
• Hands-on G-code/M-code programming or program editing at the machine required
• Strong blueprint reading and precision measurement skills
• Experience machining parts to tolerances within thousandths of an inch
• Custom machining, job shop, or industrial repair experience preferred
• Experience with both CNC mills and lathes is a plus
• Manual machining experience is a plus

This is a great opportunity to join a smaller, family-oriented machine shop that offers independence, a variety of custom projects, and long-term growth opportunities.
