We are seeking a CNC Set-Up Machinist to support precision manufacturing operations by performing full machine setups and running production on CNC mills and lathes. This role focuses on maintaining part quality, process consistency, and production efficiency while working with Mastercam-generated programs. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with tooling, fixturing, offsets, and first-article verification in a tight-tolerance environment.
Job Responsibility
Perform full CNC machine setups on mills and lathes including tooling, fixturing, and offset adjustments
Load, prove out, and run CNC programs developed in Mastercam (may look at someone with no CNC programming experience)
Conduct first-article inspections and adjust processes to meet specifications
Monitor production runs and adjust tooling or offsets as needed
Make minor program edits at the machine when required
Collaborate with engineers and programmers to improve cycle time and efficiency
Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T requirements
Inspect parts using precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, and gauges
Troubleshoot machining issues related to tooling, materials, and machine performance
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality and efficiency
Requirements
3+ years of experience as a CNC Set-Up Machinist (mills and/or lathes)
Working knowledge of Mastercam and CAM-generated programs (this is a big plus- not a must have)
Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
Experience working in precision, tight-tolerance manufacturing environments
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Nice to have
Experience with multi-axis machining (3, 4- or 5-axis)
Ability to perform basic G-code edits at the machine
Experience in aerospace, medical, automotive, or high-mix/low-volume manufacturing
Familiarity with process documentation and setup optimization
