We serve aerospace, defense, industrial, and commercial customers while maintaining demanding quality standards. BAM is ISO 9001 Certified, with AS9100 certification in progress and targeted for completion by the end of 2026.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Senior CNC Mill Machinist / Programmer who can confidently set up, run, and program CNC mills as business needs demand.

This is a hands-on position where you'll own mill work from print to first article, edit and create programs, design and build fixturing, and help elevate the overall performance of the shop.

• DMG Mori
• Okuma
• Doosan
• Tsugami
• Haas

Control Platforms:

• Fanuc

What You'll Do

• Set up and run new and existing mill jobs independently (VMC and Horizontal Machining Centers)
• Program and edit at the machine control while creating offline programs in Mastercam when needed
• Design and build fixturing that supports efficient, repeatable setups
• Read blueprints, interpret GD&T, maintain tight tolerances, and complete first article inspections
• Troubleshoot tooling, fixturing, and programming issues to maintain production quality
• Transition between operating, setup, and programming based on production priorities
• Mentor operators and setup machinists while helping improve documentation and shop processes

• 5-axis setup and programming
• Horizontal Machining Center (HMC) experience
• Independent offline programming experience with a process improvement mindset
• Experience with DMG Mori, Okuma, Doosan, Tsugami, or Haas equipment

• Experience in an ISO 9001 and/or AS9100 manufacturing environment

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay
• $32–$44/hour, depending on experience and skill level
• Additional $3.00/hour for all hours worked after 5:00 PM
• Schedule
• Day Shift or Swing Shift (your preference)
• Swing Shift: Monday–Thursday, 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM
