Laguna Hills, CA Job Details Part-time | Full-time $22 - $27 an hour 20 hours ago Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Measurement-based inspection CAD software Machine setup Quality control product testing Monitoring dimensions Machining tool setup Metal materials Shop math CAM software Mechanical drawings Dimensional measurements CNC quality inspection Electrical discharge machining Precision measurement in machining CNC G-code Programming Power tools Lean management Hand tools Mechanical troubleshooting Full Job Description Overview Join our dynamic manufacturing team as a CNC Machinist and become a vital contributor to precision metalworking and high-quality component production. In this role, you will operate, set up, and program CNC machines—including lathes and milling centers—using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. Your expertise in machining tools, blueprint reading, and measurement will ensure the delivery of parts that meet strict quality standards. This position offers an energetic environment where your mechanical knowledge and machining skills drive efficiency, innovation, and excellence in manufacturing processes. Duties Set up CNC machines such as CNC lathes and milling machines, ensuring proper tooling, fixtures, and calibration for each job. Program CNC equipment using G-code, M-code, CNC programming languages, Mazatrol controls, and CAM software to produce precise parts. Interpret mechanical blueprints and technical drawings accurately to determine dimensions, tolerances, and machining sequences. Operate manual machining tools including grinders, calipers, micrometers, hand tools, power tools, and measurement instruments for quality control. Conduct precision measurements using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other measuring instruments to verify part dimensions against specifications. Perform machine maintenance, troubleshooting, and adjustments to optimize performance while adhering to lean manufacturing principles. Inspect finished parts for quality compliance using GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) standards and coordinate with quality assurance teams for final approval. Requirements Proven experience operating CNC machinery such as CNC milling machines and CNC lathes with proficiency in CNC G-code programming and CNC programming languages. Strong knowledge of CAD (SolidWorks, CAD software) and CAM programming to develop toolpaths for complex components. Ability to read mechanical blueprints accurately and interpret technical drawings with an understanding of mechanical blueprint interpretation. Familiarity with machining tools including grinders, hand tools, power tools, tooling setups, and measurement instruments like micrometers and calipers. Mechanical knowledge encompassing metal machining processes such as milling, turning, grinding, electrical discharge machining (EDM), and manual machining techniques. Understanding of M-code commands used in CNC programming for machine control functions. Basic math skills for calculating dimensions, tolerances, feeds & speeds necessary for precision manufacturing. Experience with measurement (quality control) techniques ensuring parts meet specifications through precision measurement instruments. Knowledge of lean manufacturing practices to improve efficiency while maintaining high-quality standards. This role is ideal for motivated individuals eager to advance their careers in precision manufacturing within a fast-paced environment that values technical skillfulness and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
