Bring your precision machining expertise to B&B Manufacturing, where your skills help turn demanding designs into quality parts. We're looking for a CNC Setup Machinist who enjoys solving tough problems, improving the process, and taking pride in every successful setup. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you! Job Summary Responsible for performing precision setups and operations on multi-axis CNC milling and turning machines. In this role, you will prepare machines for production by installing tooling, fixtures, and programs, validating first-article parts, and ensuring parts meet strict quality and dimensional standards. Essential Duties and Responsibilities The duties and responsibilities described are not a comprehensive list, and additional tasks may be assigned. To perform this job successfully an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Automation & Continuous Improvement Collaborate with Programming and Manufacturing Engineers to optimize machining processes suitable for automation (robotic loading, in-process inspection & probing) to support lights-out manufacturing. Apply continuous improvement principles to machining processes to improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and eliminate non-value-added activities. Quality & Problem Solving Diagnose machining issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable corrective actions. Ensure adherence to tight tolerances using advanced inspection tools and techniques. Read and interpret GD&T, engineering drawings, and 3D part models to ensure precision manufacturing. Training & Leadership Develop and maintain detailed setup documentation, including setup sheets, tooling files, and manufacturing inspection plans. Mentor and train less experienced machinists in setup techniques and process control. Promote a culture of craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement. Qualifications Qualifications, Experience and Education Requirements High School diploma or equivalent 5+ years of hands-on experience in CNC precision machining (aerospace, defense, or medical). Expertise in G-code, canned cycles, and in-process probing systems. Proven track record of machining tight-tolerance parts using aluminum, steel, and aerospace-grade alloys. Understanding of metal behavior & mechanics in a machining environment (chip formation, vibration, distortion, heat transfer, etc.) Understanding of cutting tool geometry, fixture design, and tool life management. Ability to interpret GD&T and manufacturing drawings. Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex machining issues independently — from chatter and tool wear to dimensional instability and setup inefficiencies.
