Phoenix Laser Solutions is the largest YAG laser weld house in North America, operating five facilities across the Midwest. We specialize in high-precision laser welding, TIG welding, cladding, and advanced repair of tooling and components for Injection Molding, Aerospace, Medical, and High-Value Industrial applications. Our work combines additive and subtractive manufacturing, often on complex, high-tolerance components where conventional methods fall short. We invest in modern equipment, clean environments, and people who want to master their craft. We are seeking a Senior 5-Axis CNC Programmer / Machinist to own programming, setup, and machining of complex parts with minimal oversight. Role Overview This is a hands-on, high-skill position for an experienced machinist who can take a part from print/model to finished component. You will be responsible for programming, setup, prove-out, and optimization of 5-axis machining operations, working closely with engineering and operations. This role is not button-pushing. We are looking for someone who understands why a process works and how to improve it.

  • Create efficient, reliable toolpaths from prints and 3D CAD models
  • Develop and optimize programs using Mastercam (multi-axis strategies required)
  • Select tooling, fixturing, and machining strategies for complex geometries
  • Interpret and apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to meet tight tolerances
  • Perform first article inspections and validate processes
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and refine programs for quality and cycle time
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in machining methods and workflows
  • Collaborate with other departments to support repair and manufacturing projects
  • Strong working knowledge of GD&T (ANSI/ASME Y14.5)
  • Advanced CAM programming experience (Mastercam preferred)
  • Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and CAD models
  • Proven ability to machine high-tolerance, multi-surface parts
  • Strong problem-solving skills and process intuition
  • Excellent attention to detail and quality mindset
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of outcomes
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, job-shop environment
  • 5+ years CNC machining experience
  • 3+ years programming and running 5-Axis mills
  • Experience with manual machining (Bridgeport or equivalent)
  • CAD/CAM modeling experience (Mastercam or similar)
  • Competitive pay aligned with senior-level skill sets
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Simple IRA with up to 3% employer match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Clean, climate-controlled shop
  • Annual performance reviews with raise potential
  • Long-term stability and growth in a specialized, high-precision manufacturing environment
