Job Description

An employer seeking an experienced CNC Machinist with a strong focus on lathe operations to join their in-house machine shop. This is a low-volume, rapid prototyping environment, not a production floor, where the machinist will be expected to set up tooling, run jobs, and perform some CAM programming. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, experienced machinist who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, innovative environment and can operate with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities include:
Set up, operate, and maintain CNC lathe machines (Haas equipment)
Perform tooling setup, work offset probing, and fixture setup
Execute low-volume, rapid prototype machining runs
Write basic CAM programs as needed to support machining operations
Perform manual machining tasks for quick fixes and small adjustments
Troubleshoot machining issues and apply sequencing strategies for operations
Collaborate with the CAM programmer and engineering team on part production
Maintain quality and safety standards throughout all machining work

This role is onsite 5 days a week and relocation can be provided for out of state.
