Senior Machinist

We are seeking a versatile and detail-oriented CNC Machinist with strong experience in both lathe and milling operations. This position is for a well versatile machinist that has a strong experience with lathes. We have other machines in house that will be available for use such as a 5 axis mill, Wire EDM. CMM, Waterjet, and 3 axis Mill, but taking ownership of lathe will come first. This is a R&D shop so most work is never the same and always different materials.

- Program and edit CNC machine tool paths using ESPRIT CAM software or Fusion 360.

- Interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to execute precise machining tasks.

- Select and adjust tools, offsets, and feeds/speeds to optimize machine performance and part accuracy.

- Perform quality control inspections using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, calipers, height gauges).

- Troubleshoot machining issues and collaborate with engineering and production teams to enhance processes.

- Maintain a clean and safe work environment, complying with all safety standards and operational protocols.

- Work closely with fellow machinists and team members to meet production schedules and quality expectations.
