CNC Machinist

The Machinist is responsible for manufacturing complex, detailed components and tooling from blueprints, sketches, models, or verbal instructions. This role involves setting up and operating CNC mills, CNC lathes, manual machine tools, grinders, and related equipment while applying advanced mathematical and geometric calculations. The Machinist III ensures parts meet strict tolerances using precision measuring instruments and may support prototype development activities or assist engineering teams with new product designs and process improvements. Typical work includes setting up medium-complexity, new, or unproven parts as well as proven medium-to-high-complexity components.
