Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced 5-Axis and/or Swiss CNC Machinist to support precision manufacturing in a low-volume, high-mix environment.

    • CNC lathes with live tooling and milling capabilities
  • Perform complex machining operations involving:
    • Simultaneous multi-axis milling
    • Turning, milling, drilling, threading, and tapping
  • Prove out programs for new parts, prototypes, and engineering change orders.
  • Optimize tool paths, fixturing, and setups for accuracy, cycle time, and tool life.
  • Conduct first-article inspections (FAI) and detailed in-process inspections.
  • Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, and 3D model-based definitions.
  • Adjust tool offsets, feeds, speeds, and make minor G-code edits as needed.
  • Hold extremely tight tolerances on complex, high-precision components.
  • Troubleshoot setup, tooling, and process issues to maintain part quality.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams.
  • Mentor and support less-experienced machinists in advanced machining concepts.
  • Maintain organized, clean, and safe work areas.

Required Qualifications
  • 6+ years of CNC machining experience, with direct experience in:
    • 5-Axis CNC machining
    • Swiss CNC machining environments
  • Strong setup and operation skills on advanced CNC platforms.
  • Deep understanding of:
    • G- and M-codes
    • Multi-axis machining strategies
    • GD&T and complex blueprint interpretation
  • Experience machining difficult or high-precision materials.
  • Advanced proficiency with precision measuring instruments.
  • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of complex jobs.
  • Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Technical degree or formal CNC training
  • Experience supporting R&D, prototype, or aerospace/medical-style precision work
  • Prior mentoring or lead machinist experience
  • Strong safety mindset in advanced machining environments

Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Coverage
