To thrive as a 5 Axis machinist or CNC programmer, you need a strong background in precision machining, blueprint reading, and mathematics, often supported by relevant technical training or certifications. Experience with CAD/CAM software (such as Mastercam or Siemens NX), CNC programming, and operation of 5-axis machines is essential. Detail orientation, problem-solving ability, and good communication skills help individuals excel in this role. These skills are crucial for producing complex parts to tight tolerances, ensuring quality, and collaborating effectively within a manufacturing team.
A 5 Axis job typically refers to a role involving the operation of 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. These machines can move cutting tools along five different axes simultaneously, allowing for greater precision and complexity in machining. Jobs in this field often require experience in CNC programming, setup, and operation, as well as knowledge of materials and tooling. 5-axis machining is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries to create intricate parts with high accuracy.
5 Axis machinists often encounter challenges such as maintaining tight tolerances on intricate parts, optimizing setups for complex geometries, and troubleshooting unexpected machine or tooling issues. The role requires constant attention to machine calibration, tool wear, and precise programming to avoid costly errors or material waste. Additionally, working with advanced CAD/CAM software and updating to new technology can be demanding. However, these challenges provide opportunities to develop expertise and problem-solving skills, making the work both rewarding and essential within modern manufacturing environments.

Senior CNC 5-Axis Machinist / Setup Operator
Systomatic Inc. | Union City, CA | Full-Time | Day Shift
Systomatic Inc. is a precision aerospace machine shop specializing in complex multi-axis components for aerospace, defense, and high-technology industries.
We operate a modern facility equipped with multiple 5-axis machines, CNC lathes, and EDM, producing tight-tolerance parts that require advanced machining strategies and attention to detail.
We are looking for a highly skilled CNC machinist with strong 5-axis experience who enjoys solving challenging machining problems and working on precision components.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to own setups, improve processes, and work on sophisticated parts rather than repetitive production work.
What You’ll Work With
Our shop runs modern high-precision equipment including:
• Multiple Matsuura 5-axis machining centers
• Haas VF-2 (30k spindle) with trunnion
• Haas UMC-1250 machines
• CNC turning centers (Haas ST series)
• Wire and sinker EDM
• High-precision inspection equipment and CMM systems
You’ll be machining complex aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and specialty materials with tight tolerances for aerospace applications.
Responsibilities
• Setup and operate 5-axis CNC milling machines
• Machine complex precision parts with tight tolerances
• Interpret engineering drawings and apply GD&T
• Optimize tooling, fixturing, and machining strategies
• Perform in-process inspections using precision measurement tools
• Collaborate with programmers and engineers to improve machining efficiency
• Maintain clean, organized setups and workspaces
Requirements
• 5+ years CNC machining experience in a professional shop
• Hands-on 5-axis machining experience strongly preferred
• Strong ability to read prints and understand GD&T
• Experience holding tight tolerances on aerospace components
• Comfortable working independently on setups and problem solving
• Must have own machinist tools
Preferred Experience
• CAM experience (Mastercam, Fusion 360, or similar)
• Experience with multi-axis fixturing and complex setups
• CMM inspection experience
• Experience machining prototype and short-run parts
