Job Description

SCHEDULE
Monday-Friday, normally 7:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. A later-afternoon/evening schedule may be considered for the right qualified candidate. Expected schedule is generally up to 40 hours per week based on production requirements. Weekly hours may vary and no minimum number of hours is guaranteed.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Sindri Engineering Services is a small precision machining company in Santa Ana seeking an experienced CNC Lathe Setup Machinist / Operator. Our lathe work is primarily machining castings on an Akira-Seiki SL20 2-axis CNC turning center with a 6-inch chuck. This is not an operator-only position. The successful candidate must be able to independently set up CNC lathe jobs and then operate the machine as production requires.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Set up the Akira-Seiki SL20 for new and repeat jobs. Establish tooling, workholding, tool offsets, and work offsets. Review prints, tolerances, and job requirements. Load and safely prove out existing CNC programs. Make normal offsets and appropriate machine-level program adjustments. Produce and inspect first-piece parts. Operate production runs after setup. Monitor dimensions, tooling condition, surface finish, and process stability. Troubleshoot normal lathe setup and machining issues. Use micrometers, calipers, indicators, bore gauges, and similar precision inspection equipment.
REQUIRED
Hands-on experience independently setting up CNC lathes. Ability to take an existing job package, print, material, tooling, program, and machine through setup, prove-out, first-piece inspection, and production. Strong blueprint-reading and precision-measurement capability.
PREFERRED
Experience machining castings. Ability to train another operator in lathe operation and/or setup. G-code editing, CNC programming, Mastercam, or other CAM experience. Ability to document repeatable setups and explain setup methods to other employees.
HOW TO APPLY
Send a current resume or short work-history summary to: Arnoldo Rosales Operations Manager / Senior CNC Machinist arnoldo@sindriengineeringservices.com 949-232-6967 Please include the CNC lathes and controls you have personally set up, years of setup experience, materials/parts machined, casting experience, programming/CAM experience, preferred schedule, and desired hourly rate within the posted range.
Pay:
$25.00 - $35.00 per hour Expected hours: No more than 40.0 per week
