Shape precision from code to chip

Join us as a CNC Manufacturing Programmer & Multi‑Axis Machinist and own the full journey from CAD/CAM toolpaths to first‑article approval. You’ll split your time between programming, setting up, and running mills and lathes—optimizing processes to deliver quality parts on schedule.

A day in this role

  • Review prints and models, confirm tolerances, and select the right tooling strategy.
  • Build and refine CNC programs with CAD/CAM, post to the floor, and verify with test runs.
  • Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes; adjust offsets and feeds/speeds to hit spec.
  • Measure with calipers, gauges, and other metrology tools; document results and correct deviations.
  • Maintain setup sheets, tooling lists, and program archives for repeatability.
  • Collaborate with engineering and support lean manufacturing initiatives to drive throughput and reduce waste.
  • Pitch in with part estimating and, if experienced, assist with scheduling/production coordination.

What you bring

  • Hands‑on CAD/CAM programming experience.
  • Proven CNC milling and tooling setup skills; lathe experience strongly preferred.
  • Mechanical aptitude with strong blueprint and GD&T interpretation.
  • Problem‑solver with a meticulous eye for detail.
  • Comfort working independently and within a fast‑paced team setting.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift as needed.

Who will thrive here

Whether you’re a programmer, operator, machinist, setup specialist—or all of the above—you’ll find variety across both lathes and mills and the satisfaction of seeing your code become quality parts.
