CNC Machinist - Large Format / Multi-Axis

About the Position

We are seeking an experienced CNC Machinist to work on large-format and complex machining projects using vertical, horizontal, and multi-axis CNC equipment.

The work primarily involves large, one-off and low-volume components. The ideal candidate will be comfortable taking ownership of a job from programming and setup through machining and final inspection.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys solving problems and working on challenging parts that require creative setups, careful planning, and strong machining judgment.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate large-format CNC vertical, horizontal, and multi-axis machining centers

• Program CNC equipment using Fanuc, Siemens, and Heidenhain controls

• Utilize Mastercam and PowerMill CAM software

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, tolerances, and specifications

• Plan machining sequences, workholding, tooling, and setups

• Establish work coordinates and accurately indicate and align large or irregular workpieces

• Select appropriate tooling, speeds, feeds, and machining strategies

• Inspect work using standard precision measuring equipment

• Verify dimensions and maintain required tolerances throughout the machining process

• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, programming, and setup issues

• Work with machinists, management, and engineering to determine practical approaches to challenging jobs

• Maintain a safe, organized work area and properly care for machines and tooling

Qualifications

• 5+ years of CNC machining experience

• Strong CNC setup and programming skills

• Experience with CNC vertical and/or horizontal machining centers

• Strong blueprint-reading skills

• Proficiency with precision inspection and measuring equipment

• Ability to independently plan and execute machining operations

• Strong understanding of tooling, speeds and feeds, workholding, and machining fundamentals

• Reliable and able to work effectively with limited supervision

• Willingness to learn new equipment, processes, and machining techniques

Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following is especially valuable:

• Large-format CNC mills and horizontal machining centers

• 4-axis or 5-axis machining

• Complex or unconventional setups

• One-off and low-volume machining

• Machining existing components where dimensions must be established from the part

• Working with large castings, weldments, or fabricated components

• CAM programming

Benefits

• Overtime opportunities

• Medical benefits

• 401(k)

• Paid time off

• Full-time day shift
