We are seeking a Journeyman Machinist / CNC Programmer to join our production machining team. This position requires strong CNC machining experience with the ability to program, modify, troubleshoot, and prove out CNC programs when required. We use Mastercam as our programming software for our Mills, and typically utilize G-Code programming for our lathes.

As a production-focused shop, the majority of our work is completed using established, previously written and proven CNC programs. Due to the nature of our business, programming is typically required on an infrequent basis. The successful candidates’ main accountabilities will be operating CNC equipment, setting up jobs, monitoring production, performing inspections, and ensuring parts are produced safely, efficiently, and to specification.

Troubleshooting CNC issues and programming robot arms is also an asset for this position.
