Computer Numerical Control Machinist

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced CNC Machinist who can hit the ground running in a precision machine shop environment. This is not a button-pushing role—this position requires a machinist capable of independently setting up, troubleshooting, and running jobs from print to finished part. The ideal candidate will have strong experience with Haas 3-axis mills and Fanuc-controlled CNC lathes, along with the ability to maintain tight tolerances and ensure high-quality production.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate Haas 3-axis CNC mills and Fanuc-controlled lathes
• Interpret blueprints, GD&T, and work instructions to produce precision parts
• Perform complete setups including tooling, fixtures, offsets, and first article runs
• Edit and adjust G-code as needed for optimal performance
• Monitor machine performance and make real-time adjustments to maintain tolerances
• Conduct in-process and final inspections using precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges)
• Troubleshoot machining issues such as tool wear, chatter, and dimensional drift
• Optimize feeds, speeds, and tooling to improve cycle times and reduce scrap
• Maintain clean and organized work area and follow all safety procedures

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment
• Strong experience with: Haas CNC mills (3-axis) Fanuc controls (lathe experience required)
• Ability to independently perform setups with minimal supervision
• Proficiency reading blueprints and understanding GD&T
• Experience with G-code and troubleshooting programs
• Strong understanding of tooling, materials, and machining processes
• Ability to hold tight tolerances (.001” or better depending on part requirements)

Preferred Skills

• Experience with multi-axis machining (4th/5th axis a plus)
• Experience in job shop or high-mix, low-volume environments
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing practices
