Job Description
Overview Join our dynamic manufacturing team as a CNC Machinist and become a vital contributor to precision metalworking excellence! In this role, you'll operate, set up, and program CNC machines—including lathes and milling centers—using advanced tools and software to produce high-quality components. Your expertise will ensure manufacturing processes run smoothly, efficiently, and with impeccable quality standards. This is an exciting opportunity for skilled machinists eager to apply their mechanical knowledge and technical skills in a fast-paced, innovative environment dedicated to continuous improvement. Duties Set up CNC machines such as lathes and milling machines, ensuring proper tooling, fixtures, and calibration for each job. Program CNC equipment using G-code, M-code, CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), and Mazatrol controls 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, bore gauges, hand tools, and power tools for secondary operations or fine adjustments. Perform precision measurement during manufacturing using measurement instruments like coordinate measuring machines (CMM), dial indicators, and precision measuring instruments to verify part quality. Conduct machine setup procedures efficiently while adhering to safety protocols and lean manufacturing principles. Carry out CNC quality inspections by inspecting finished parts against specifications using GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) standards and measurement tools. Maintain detailed documentation of machining processes, inspection results, and machine maintenance logs to ensure traceability and continuous process improvement. Skills Proficiency in CNC programming languages including G-code and M-code; experience with CNC G-code programming is essential. Strong knowledge of CAD software such as SolidWorks or similar for interpreting designs; experience with CAM programming for toolpath generation. Familiarity with Mazatrol conversational programming for certain CNC machines. Skilled in blueprint reading with the ability to interpret mechanical blueprints accurately for machining operations. Mechanical aptitude with understanding of machining tools, tooling setup, machine calibration, and basic math skills for measurements and calculations. Experience operating CNC lathe and milling machines; manual machining skills are a plus for secondary operations. Knowledge of measurement techniques using calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), and other precision measuring instruments. Ability to interpret GD&T specifications to ensure parts meet quality standards. Understanding of lean manufacturing principles to optimize productivity while maintaining safety standards. Mechanical knowledge related to metal machining processes such as grinding, boring, turning, milling, and electrical discharge machining (EDM). Familiarity with machine setup procedures including tooling selection and fixture installation; experience with grinders is advantageous. Strong attention to detail combined with excellent manual dexterity; ability to work independently or as part of a team in a fast-paced environment. Embark on a rewarding career where your technical expertise drives precision manufacturing forward! We're committed to fostering a safe workspace that values innovation, continuous learning, and professional growth—empowering you every step of the way!
