    Job Description

    CNC Machinist II

    Location: Torrance, CA
    Position Type: Full-Time

    Position Summary

    We're hiring a skilled CNC Machinist II to support the production of precision components in a dynamic, low-volume manufacturing environment. This role involves setting up and operating advanced CNC equipment to produce complex parts across a range of materials while maintaining tight tolerances and high quality standards.

    This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on machining, problem-solving, and working on a variety of custom or short-run jobs.

    What You'll Do

    • Set up and operate CNC multi axis lathes.
    • Produce parts to exact specifications, holding tight tolerances
    • Interpret blueprints, drawings, and technical instructions
    • Perform first article and in-process inspections
    • Use precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, and CMM equipment
    • Make tool adjustments and assist with tool maintenance as needed
    • Maintain organized work areas and follow 5S and safety practices
    • Support team initiatives and assist with additional shop needs when required

    What We're Looking For

    • High school diploma or equivalent required; machining certification is a plus
    • 3–5+ years of experience in CNC Lathe machining
    • Experience working with tight-tolerance, precision parts
    • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, including GD&T
    • Working knowledge of G-code and M-code
    • Experience with multi-axis machining (5-axis is a strong advantage)

    Key Skills

    • Strong attention to detail and quality-focused mindset
    • Mechanical aptitude and solid math skills
    • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve machining issues
    • Comfortable working independently and managing time effectively
    • Positive attitude with a willingness to support the team

    Work Environment & Physical Requirements

    • Clean and well-maintained production environment
    • Standing for extended periods throughout the shift
    • Occasional lifting up to 40 lbs
    • Use of standard PPE including safety glasses and steel-toe footwear

    Why This Role Stands Out

    • Direct Hire
    • Opportunity to work on diverse, complex parts instead of repetitive runs
    • Exposure to advanced machining processes and equipment
    • Collaborative team environment with a focus on craftsmanship and quality
