Schedule: Sunday – Thursday | 4:30 PM – 2:00 AM
Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire
Why This Role Stands Out
- Prototype & custom work – no repetitive production runs
- Work on a wide variety of materials (aluminum, stainless, titanium, tool steels, and more)

- Manage multiple jobs and setups in a fast-paced environment
Job Requirements
- 2+ years of CNC setup experience (required)
- Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
- Experience working in a job shop or prototype environment
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of your work
Nice to Have
- Experience with Fanuc controls
- Background running Haas, Hurco, Mitsubishi, or similar machines
Work Environment
- True job shop setting – high mix, low volume
- Ideal for machinists who enjoy variety and problem-solving
- Not a fit for candidates looking for production-only work
Benefits
- 401(k) with company match
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Paid time off & holidays
You should be proficient in:
