Job description


The Role
Complete Metal Design is hiring a CNC Setup Machinist for our mill and lathe departments. This is a setup-first role. Your main job is getting machines dialed in: our programmer hands you a proven job with a setup sheet, tool list, and program notes, and you build the setup, verify the first piece is on print, and get the job running clean.
Most of the time, once a job is proven and stable, an operator takes it from there and you move to the next setup. But this isn't a setup-only seat — when the schedule calls for it, you'll run production too. Short runs, hot jobs, or days when setups are caught up, you're on a machine making parts.
If you take pride in a tight, fast setup and don't mind running the job you just dialed in when the shop needs it, this is your seat.

What You'll Do
Setup (the main job):

  • Read the setup sheet, tool list, and program notes from the programmer and execute the setup as proven.
  • Build the workholding — vises, chucks, soft jaws, fixtures — and dial it in accurately.
  • Load tools, touch off, set tool and work offsets, and stage the program.
  • Run the first piece, measure it against the print, and confirm dimensions before the job goes into production.
  • Hand off cleanly to the operator running the job — walk them through anything that isn't in the paperwork.
  • Flag anything that doesn't match the proveout and pull the programmer back in when the process needs a real fix.
  • Keep tooling, workholding, and staging areas organized so setups don't waste time.
Running production (the smaller part):

  • Run short jobs, hot jobs, and production when setups are caught up.
  • Manage tool wear, swap inserts, and adjust offsets to hold tolerance through the run.
  • Inspect in-process with calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges.
Across both:

  • Move between the mill and lathe side as the schedule demands.
  • Document process notes that help the next person on the job.
  • Help train operators and newer setup people.

Who Fits
  • 3+ years of hands-on CNC experience with real setup time on both mills and lathes — not just running parts someone else set up.
  • Strong on workholding fundamentals and confident dialing in a first piece from a setup sheet.
  • Comfortable at the control: touching off tools, setting offsets, making small edits at the machine.
  • Solid grasp of speeds, feeds, tool selection, and how aluminum, steel, stainless, and non-ferrous metals behave.
  • Read prints and interpret GD&T well enough to verify a first piece matches spec.
  • Fast without being sloppy — this seat is measured on setup quality and turnaround.
  • Reliable, organized, and communicates cleanly with programmers and operators.

Even Better If You've Got
  • CNC lathe live tooling setup experience.
  • Multi-axis (4-axis or 5-axis) setup experience.
  • Aerospace or other tight-tolerance production background.
  • Experience training operators or junior setup people.
  • Bilingual English / Spanish.

What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Health and dental
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • 401(k) / CalSavers
  • Stable, growing shop with a mix of prototype, production, and aerospace work
  • A team that treats setup as a real trade and gives you ownership of your work
