What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Machinist / Multi-Axis Programmer position at Focused on Machining?
We're not looking for someone to push a green button.
At Focused On Machining, we build complex, tight-tolerance components for aerospace and defense customers — the kind of work that demands real programmers who can own a part from print to first article. If you can look at a challenging workpiece, figure out how to hold it, write the program, and make it right the first time, we want to talk.
We run a small, focused team where skilled people have real ownership of their work. No micromanagement. No busywork. Just good machining.
What You'll Own
- Full programming and setup on multi-axis CNC equipment — 4th axis experience required, 5-axis a plus
- Developing and proving out programs from scratch on complex aerospace components
- Holding tight tolerances on Aluminum, Titanium, Stainless, and exotic alloys
- Reading and interpreting blueprints, GD&T callouts, and engineering specs
- First-article, in-process, and final inspection using high-precision metrology equipment
- Contributing to continuous improvement — if you see a better way, say so
What We're Looking For
- 5 years of CNC machining experience with demonstrated programming ownership — not just editing
- 4th axis programming experience required — simultaneous 5-axis a significant plus
- Mastercam proficiency required — you should be able to build a toolpath from scratch
- Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
- Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience strongly preferred
- Experience machining Titanium or other exotic alloys is a plus
- You take pride in your work and hold yourself to a high standard
Why Work at FOM
- 4-day work week, 10-hour shifts — real work-life balance, not just a talking point
- Flexible scheduling — life happens; we work with you when it does
- Competitive pay: $30–$42/hr depending on experience — we pay for real skill
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Modern equipment and the kind of parts that keep you engaged
- Small team, direct communication, and no bureaucratic nonsense
- Optional overtime when you want extra hours
Requirements
- CNC machining experience: 5 years minimum (Required)
- Multi-axis programming — 4th axis minimum: 3 years (Required)
- Mastercam programming: 3 years (Required)
- Simultaneous 5-axis programming (Preferred)
- Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience (Preferred)
