CNC Machinist

Laborup•Chandler, AZ

49d•$26 - $45•Onsite

About The Position

We are hiring multiple CNC Machinists across junior and senior skill bands to support a high-mix, low-volume precision machining environment producing complex, tight-tolerance parts. We’re experiencing strong growth and scaling our machining team accordingly, building a balanced crew of developing talent and seasoned experts. You’ll find the best of both worlds here: the pace and variety of a job shop, paired with the stability, benefits, and progression of a well-run operation that rewards growth. We're hiring on every shift and offer consistent overtime to those who want it, but rarely required for those who don't. This is not a button-pushing role. Our machinists own work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement. If you have strong fundamentals, a genuine passion for machining, and the skill to prove it, we want to talk.

Requirements

A few years of machining experience with the ability to run your own setups on medium-complexity parts
Experience on mills and/or lathes in a precision environment
Confidence using manual inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) and holding consistent tolerances
Ability to read programs, make small edits/offset changes, and calibrate or verify machine condition as needed
Strong coachability, ownership mindset, and a desire to grow into advanced setups and tighter tolerances
7+ years in precision machining (more is welcome)
Proven experience holding .0005” (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, with the ability to verify those tolerances manually
Strong ability to interpret complex technical drawings and apply GD&T (e.g., true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality)
Experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills and/or mill-turn / multi-axis lathes)
Ability to fluently read G-code / M-code and efficiently edit programs to maintain quality and throughput
Background in high-setup environments (often 30%+ setup time) and complex setups with 10+ tools (and potentially far more)
Experience setting up unproven parts and troubleshooting tooling/process/machine variables to achieve first-article success
Strong documentation habits, teamwork, communication, and an unwavering commitment to safety and craftsmanship

Responsibilities

Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers in a precision, job-shop environment
Run work end-to-end: setup, run, inspect, and document results
Interpret complex blueprints, routings, and work instructions
Select tooling, establish offsets, and build effective workholding strategies
Perform manual measurement and inspection using micrometers, gauges, indicators, and other precision tools
Hold tight tolerances and own part quality from first piece through final run
Read and understand CNC programs; make edits and adjustments as required
Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues to restore quality and throughput
Support setup of proven and unproven parts based on capability
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
Participate in continuous improvement and process optimization efforts
