Description:

MACHINIST III

The Art of Precision. The Power of Mastery.

If you love the rhythm of a machine running just right - and you know how to make it run better - welcome home.


At Accu-Precision, we don’t just make parts. We make things that leave the planet. From components that fly through the stratosphere to technology that keeps industry moving, the work you create goes far. Like… outer-space far.


Our climate-controlled, advanced manufacturing facility is where highly skilled Machinist III professionals bring technical mastery, confidence, and precision together. This role is built for someone who thrives on complexity, owns their process end-to-end, and takes pride in solving the hard problems.


As a Machinist III, you’ll have full programming autonomy on complex parts - from concept to completion. You’ll program, set up, optimize, and run multi-axis CNC’s, pushing efficiency, accuracy, and process capability forward. You’ll work with tight tolerances, advanced software, and state-of-the-art machines, constantly refining toolpaths, cycle times, and machining strategies.


We don’t rush.
We don’t cut corners.
We do it right - every time.


You’ll collaborate closely with engineers and inspectors who respect your expertise and rely on your judgment. Just as important, you’ll mentor and support other machinists, sharing knowledge, setting the standard, and helping raise the bar across the floor. Leadership here isn’t about titles - it’s about influence, trust, and craftsmanship.


This is a role for someone who values structure, focus, and precision - and who takes quiet pride in work done exceptionally well.

We invest in good people and good machines - because both matter equally.


Our culture is grounded in our values:

  • Self-Improvement
  • Attention to Detail
  • Integrity
  • Teamwork
  • Communication
  • Success

We look out for each other, celebrate wins together, and invest in growth - both personal and professional. Add in year-round team events, strong leadership that values your input, and coworkers who take their craft seriously, and you’ll find more than a job here.

You’ll find a place to build something that lasts.


If you’re ready to own your craft, lead by example, and see your work launched into orbit - come join us.


Compensation: $34.00 - $45.00 per hour DOE

Requirements:
  • 7+ years CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment
  • Full programming autonomy on complex parts
  • Strong experience with multi-axis CNC machining (3-, 4-, and 5-axis)
  • Proficient in CAM programming, setup, prove-out, and optimization, mastercam preferred
