What are the responsibilities and job description for the Toolroom Machinist & CAD/CAM Developer position at Westside Personnel Services?
Is this you?
Do you enjoy the art of a clean setup as much as the science of a flawless toolpath? Can you jump from modeling in Siemens NX or SolidWorks to dialing in a multi‑axis CNC mill, then confirm features with a CMM? If yes, read on.
The RoleYou’ll be the link between engineering intent and parts that pass inspection the first time. You’ll set up and run multi‑axis CNC mills, operate manual lathes, interpret prints and CAD/CAM data, and create the 2D/3D artifacts needed to get work moving. Along the way, you’ll document activities and maintain records within Oracle Manufacturing.
What You’ll Do- Program CAM and generate toolpaths from CAD models to support both prototype and production work.
- Set up, prove out, and operate multi‑axis CNC mills; perform manual machining on lathes as needed.
- Read/interpret blueprints, specifications, and CAD/CAM files to plan machining sequences that meet design requirements.
- Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, and CMM equipment to verify conformance.
- Produce detailed 2D drawings and 3D models using AutoCAD, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, and Mastercam.
- Handle documentation and computer administration tasks within Oracle Manufacturing.
- 3D CAD modeling capability in Siemens NX or SolidWorks.
- Degree in Precision Machining Technology or CAD certifications; or 1–2 years of equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with Injection Molding, Extrusion, Thermoforming, or Dip Molding (preferred).
- Strong proficiency in Excel and Word.
- Oracle Manufacturing experience for documentation/admin (preferred).
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with all levels of the organization.
