CNC Machinist

About the Role

The CNC Machinist role supports the production of high‑precision, small components used in specialized tooling applications. Working in a low‑volume, high‑mix environment, the machinist must combine craftsmanship, adaptability, and problem‑solving to create custom, one‑off parts and deliver best‑in‑class tooling solutions in close collaboration with engineering and quality teams. • Set up, program, and operate CNC mills, lathes, and related equipment. • Interpret complex engineering drawings, 3D models, and manufacturing instructions to meet tight tolerances. • Perform in‑process inspections with micrometers, bore gauges, and CMM equipment. • Optimize processes by selecting appropriate tooling, speeds, feeds, and cutting strategies. • Collaborate with engineering, tooling, and quality teams to resolve manufacturability challenges. • Maintain equipment cleanliness, calibration, and conduct basic preventive maintenance. • Document setups, adjustments, and work performed for repeatability. • Adhere to safety, quality, and compliance standards.
