Prototype CNC Milling Technician, Tool & High‑Temp Alloys Santa Fe Machine Inc - 1.0 Fontana, CA Job Details Temporary $22 - $31 an hour 6 hours ago Qualifications Machine setup Equipment setup (production tasks) Machining tool setup Mid-level Production in-process inspection CNC quality inspection Prototype creation CNC G-code Programming Machine adjustment Milling machines Prototypes Equipment adjustment (production tasks) Full Job Description Own the cut. Own the result. Imagine stepping up to a custom VMC with a rotary head, loading a single workpiece of tool steel—or maybe Inconel—and shaping a precise helix by coordinating X, Y, Z, and A. That part will become an injection molding or extrusion screw for plastic manufacturing equipment.

Parts vary dramatically:

from 1" OD x 20" long up to 10" OD x 25' long. Your mission Take full responsibility for each job—setup, machining, program edits, deburring, and self‑inspection. Translate prints and detailed instructions into reliable, repeatable outcomes. Adjust paths, tweak offsets, and confidently restart mid‑program when conditions demand it. Thrive in a prototype‑first environment where most work is one‑off; production runs rarely exceed five. Where versatility matters When needed, you will also run conventional knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and lathes to support the work. What proves you're ready Strong command of G‑Code and M‑Code Expertise in CNC setup and changeovers Well‑rounded manual machining abilities Shop platform 3-4 axis VMCs with rotary capability running Fanuc and Haas controls This is a hands‑on, interactive machining role—not a start‑to‑finish, push‑button shop. If solving problems at the spindle energizes you, you'll fit right in.
