About The Position

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision machine shop serving the aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor industries. This is a weekend day-shift position where you work 36 hours but are paid for 40. You'll machine tight-tolerance stainless steel and aluminum components across 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC mills and 2 and 3-axis CNC lathes. We're open to dedicated mill machinists, lathe machinists, or experienced machinists capable of running both. This is a setup-focused machining role, not simply loading and unloading production parts. The shop is under new ownership with continued investment in equipment, technology, and people.

Independently perform setups on 3–5-axis mills and/or 2–3-axis CNC lathes.
