Descripción completa del empleo

We are hiring multiple CNC Machinists across junior and senior skill bands to support a high-mix, low-volume precision machining environment producing complex, tight-tolerance parts. We’re experiencing strong growth and scaling our machining team accordingly, building a balanced crew of developing talent and seasoned experts. You’ll find the best of both worlds here: the pace and variety of a job shop, paired with the stability, benefits, and progression of a well-run operation that rewards growth.

We're hiring on every shift and offer consistent overtime to those who want it, but rarely required for those who don't.

Our machinists own work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement. If you have strong fundamentals, a genuine passion for machining, and the skill to prove it, we want to talk.

Compensation

  • Junior Machinist: $26 - 33 / hr
  • Senior Machinist: $33 - $45 / hr
  • Night Shift Differential: $3 /hr
  • Weekend Shift Differential: $4 / hr

Shifts

  • Day Shift (4 x 10s) 6:00am - 4:30pm
  • Night Shift: (4x 10s) 4:30pm - 3:00am
  • Weekend Shift: (3 x 12s, paid for 40), Friday - Sunday, 6:00am - 6:30pm

Consistent Overtime

  • 10+ hours / week for those who want it
  • Rarely required for those who don't

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO

Depending on experience level, you will be responsible for:

  • Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers in a precision job-shop environment
  • Run work end-to-end: setup, run, inspect, and document
  • Interpret complex blueprints, routings, and work instructions
  • Select tooling, establish offsets, and design effective workholding strategies
  • Perform manual measurement and inspection using micrometers, gauges, indicators, and other precision tools
  • Hold tight tolerances and own part quality from first piece through final run
  • Read and understand CNC programs; make edits and adjustments as required
  • Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues to restore quality and throughput
  • Support setup of proven and unproven parts depending on experience level
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
  • Participate in continuous improvement and process optimization efforts

Requirements:
We are hiring for two primary profiles and will align level and pay to demonstrated capability.

Junior CNC Machinist: This profile is ideal for a machinist with strong fundamentals who is ready to take the next step.

  • A few years of machining experience with the ability to run your own setups on medium-complexity parts
  • Experience on mills and/or lathes in a precision environment
  • Confidence using manual inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) and holding consistent tolerances
  • Ability to read programs, make small edits/offset changes, and calibrate or verify machine condition as needed
  • Strong coachability, ownership mindset, and a desire to grow into advanced setups and tighter tolerances

Senior CNC Machinist: This profile is for a true setup expert who can take on complex, tight-tolerance work, including parts the shop hasn’t seen before, and dial them in efficiently.

  • 7+ years in precision machining (more is welcome)
  • Proven experience holding .0005” (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, with the ability to verify those tolerances manually
  • Strong ability to interpret complex technical drawings and apply GD&T (e.g., true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality)
  • Experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills and/or mill-turn / multi-axis lathes)
  • Ability to fluently read G-code / M-code and efficiently edit programs to maintain quality and throughput
  • Background in high-setup environments (often 30%+ setup time) and complex setups with 10+ tools (and potentially far more)
  • Experience setting up unproven parts and troubleshooting tooling/process/machine variables to achieve first-article success
  • Strong documentation habits, teamwork, communication, and an unwavering commitment to safety and craftsmanship

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $26.00 - $45.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40 – 50 per week

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Vision insurance
