**Pay: $30-$50/hour - depending on experience.
**Multiple openings available.
About the Role
A fast-scaling advanced manufacturing company is seeking a CNC Machinist to join its growing in-house machining team as it scales production capacity. This is a hands-on opportunity for a machinist who wants to grow into CNC programming as the shop evolves toward greater automation — the company is actively investing in developing machinists into programmers, not just hiring to fill a seat.
Key Responsibilities
Set up and operate 5-axis CNC mills to produce complex, high-precision components
Support both prototype and production machining as the team scales
Collaborate closely with engineering to troubleshoot and improve part manufacturability
Take on increasing programming responsibility over time — editing existing programs initially, with a path toward full CNC programming within the first 6-12 months
Work with a variety of materials, including exotic alloys (Inconel) and metal 3D-printed parts, depending on experience level
Requirements
**Hands-on 5-axis milling
**experience (required — this is non-negotiable)
Strong problem-solving skills and comfort operating outside a rigid, pre-defined process — this environment rewards critical thinking over rote procedure
Genuine hunger to learn and grow into a more technical role, not just tenure in a machinist seat
Nice to Have
DMG Mori machine experience
Siemens controls experience
Mastercam or other CAM programming experience
Background machining Inconel or other exotic alloys
Experience with metal 3D-printed parts
Background at a high-growth space/aerospace hardware company (e.g., SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Vast)
