About The Position

CNC Machinists set up, program, and operate CNC machine tools and develop fixture placement and tooling processes. The role may involve specializing in one or multiple types of CNC machine tools and combines setup technician, operator, and programmer skills. The machinist studies prints, selects materials, plans machining operations, understands machine programming languages, and uses computer-aided manufacturing software. The position requires reading and understanding blueprints, sketches, and samples to machine parts to customer specifications. Work includes lathe and milling operations such as holding parts, tooling and sharpening, setup, selecting cutting speeds and feeds, using a four-jaw chuck, precision machining to .0001, and cutting threads. Milling tasks include using attachments, cutters, and holders; setting cutter RPM and feed rates; machining flat surfaces; squaring parts; milling grooves; drilling and tapping; boring; using a dividing or indexing head; and setting up angles. The machinist must identify types of metal and other materials, understand CAD drawings, sketch parts, and apply basic math, geometry, and trigonometry. The work also involves using precision measuring equipment with both hands, operating mill or lathe controls with both hands, checking and replenishing lubricating fluid, and cleaning the work area as needed and at the end of each shift. Some light-duty lifting is required, including using a hoist to install vises, jigs, fixtures, and heavy work pieces onto a mill or lathe. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with overtime available.
