Job Description
Advanced CNC Machinist - Multi-Axis Greater Roanoke, VA | Direct Hire | Full-Time We are recruiting for an experienced Advanced CNC Machinist to join an established manufacturing operation in the Greater Roanoke, VA area. This is not an operator-level position. We are looking for a skilled machinist who can take ownership of complex CNC setups, programming, troubleshooting, and production with minimal supervision. The ideal candidate has strong experience with multi-axis CNC machining and understands the complete machining process from blueprint to finished part. What You'll Do Set up, program, operate, and troubleshoot multi-axis CNC equipment . Create, edit, and optimize CNC programs to improve quality, cycle time, and machining efficiency. Perform complex machine setups, changeovers, offsets, and tooling adjustments. Select appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, speeds, feeds, and machining strategies based on part requirements. Read and interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, engineering drawings, and manufacturing specifications. Machine precision components while maintaining required dimensions and tolerances. Use precision measuring equipment to inspect completed parts and verify conformance to specifications. Diagnose machining issues including tooling, setup, dimensional, finish, and equipment-related problems. Make program and machine adjustments to correct out-of-tolerance conditions. Identify opportunities to improve machining processes, tooling life, cycle times, and overall productivity. Support continuous improvement initiatives and help develop machining best practices. Provide technical guidance and training to less-experienced machinists and operators when needed. Maintain a safe, organized, and quality-focused work environment. What We're Looking For 3+ years of CNC machining experience , preferably in a precision manufacturing environment. Hands-on experience with multi-axis CNC machining . Strong CNC programming and program-editing capabilities. Ability to independently set up CNC equipment from blueprint through first-piece approval. Strong knowledge of tooling, workholding, offsets, speeds, feeds, and machining principles. Ability to read and interpret complex blueprints and GD&T . Proficiency with precision measurement equipment such as micrometers, calipers, gauges, and similar inspection tools. Strong understanding of machining tolerances and dimensional inspection. Ability to troubleshoot machining, programming, tooling, and setup issues independently. Experience with CNC mills, lathes, or other advanced machining equipment. Technical degree, machining certification, apprenticeship, or equivalent hands-on experience preferred. The Ideal Candidate You are more than a machine operator. You understand why a machining process works , can identify why it isn't working when something goes wrong, and have the programming and setup knowledge to correct it. You are comfortable taking a new or existing part, reviewing the print, determining the appropriate setup and tooling, programming or modifying the machining process, producing the part, and verifying that the finished product meets specification. This is a direct-hire opportunity with a stable manufacturer offering long-term growth for an experienced machining professional. Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply for confidential consideration.
