About The Position

Voxel is seeking a Precision CNC Setup Machinist to set up, run, and inspect tight-tolerance parts used in our advanced manufacturing process. This role is for someone who already has real CNC machining experience and wants to become more capable over time. You will be responsible for preparing machines, loading tools, setting work offsets, proving out programs, making careful adjustments, running parts, and inspecting your work. Most of our parts are made for Voxel's internal use, including PECM electrodes, fixtures, machine components, and prototype hardware. The work requires patience, precision, and a willingness to learn. This is not a button-pusher position. We are looking for someone who can think through setups, understand drawings, use inspection tools correctly, and grow toward making program edits and eventually programming parts from scratch. This position is full-time based in Knightdale, NC.

Requirements

3+ years of CNC machining experience, 5+ years preferred.
Ability to set up and operate CNC mills or lathes with limited supervision
Ability to read prints and understand GD&T requirements
Experience making tight-tolerance metal parts and inspecting your own work, preferred experience with stainless steel, titanium, and other challenging metals
Experience using manual inspection tools such as micrometers, calipers, indicators, etc.
Ability to make careful offsets, tool adjustments, and basic troubleshooting decisions
Strong attention to detail, reliability, curiosity, and willingness to learn
This position requires access to controlled information under U.S. export control laws. Therefore, applicants must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident).
