Job description

Job Position: Prototype Machinist
Location: Champaign, IL (Onsite, Full-time)

At our client's company, Prototype Machinists aren't just another part of the team - they are the backbone of their innovation and success. You'll work on exciting, high-precision projects that require the unique combination of skill, creativity, and problem-solving. Though this work can be challenging, you'll be empowered to tackle each project with confidence and supported by a team of experts who value learning, collaboration, and humor.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
  • Unmatched Learning & Growth: Here, you won't just execute tasks; you'll continuously expand your skills and knowledge. You'll be surrounded by a team of passionate professionals who share a commitment to excellence and are always ready to collaborate and learn together.
  • Tackle Complex Challenges: If you're someone who thrives on solving intricate problems, this role will excite you. You'll have the opportunity to evaluate complex CAD files, create efficient toolpaths, and operate state-of-the-art CNC equipment, all while delivering top-tier results.
  • Hands-On, Cutting-Edge Work: You'll take charge of setting up and operating both 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes, ensuring that parts are machined to the highest standards. This is a dynamic, hands-on role where your expertise directly impacts the success of each project.
  • Career Longevity & Advancement: This isn't just a job - it's a long-term opportunity to be part of a company that invests in its people. You'll gain valuable experience in a wide range of machining technologies and techniques that will serve you throughout your career.

Key Responsibilities You'll Excel In:
  • Evaluate and interpret complex prints and CAD files, ensuring accuracy
  • Create highly efficient and repeatable toolpaths using CAM software
  • Set up and operate advanced 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes
  • Conduct precise inspections to ensure parts meet internal quality standards
  • Maintain high productivity, consistently meeting deadlines while maintaining exceptional quality
  • Continuously learn new skills and stay updated with industry advancements

What You Bring to the Table:
To be considered, we're looking for someone with a strong background in machining, but more importantly, someone who is passionate about growing within a collaborative, innovative environment:
  • Must-Haves:
    • U.S. Citizenship or Green Card holder (ITAR compliance)
    • Ability to lift 50 lbs and pass a drug screen and background check
    • High school diploma (or equivalent)
    • 3+ years of experience with CNC mills and lathes (setup, programming, and operation)
    • 3+ years of CAD/CAM experience
    • Strong knowledge of GD&T and proficiency with G&M codes
    • Expertise in tooling types, measuring techniques, and machining processes
  • Extra Skills That Will Make You Shine:
    • Experience in LEAN Manufacturing or 5S
    • Familiarity with ISO9001 or AS9100D standards
    • Expertise in 5-axis milling, high-speed machining, micro tooling, robotic automation, and manual milling
    • Experience with tight tolerances (e.g., .0005"), 3D profiling, Wire EDM, and Abrasive Waterjet
