Job Description - CNC Lathe Machinist Setup

Tired of just pushing buttons?



We’re looking for a machinist who wants to actually own the job — from setup through production — and work on complex, tight-tolerance parts.


This is not a production-only role. You’ll be working across medical, aerospace, semiconductor capital equipment, and defense components in a clean, modern shop.


What You’ll Be Doing



  • Full setups on CNC lathes and turning centers

  • Installing and qualifying tooling, workholding, and fixtures

  • Dialing in feeds, speeds, and cutting parameters

  • Running first articles and transitioning jobs into production

  • Reading blueprints and holding tight tolerances

  • Troubleshooting issues and improving processes



What We’re Looking For



  • Strong setup experience on CNC lathes

  • Ability to read prints and hold tight tolerances

  • Someone who can think, troubleshoot, and take ownership



Preferred (not required):



  • Experience editing or modifying CNC programs

  • Exposure to CAM software (Mastercam, Esprit, etc.)





If you’re a solid setup machinist and want to grow your programming skills, we’ll support that.



Pay & Benefits



  • $30–$40/hr base (depending on experience)

  • Consistent overtime available (many machinists earn $75k–$100k+)

  • Health, dental, vision

  • 401(k) with company match

  • PTO + paid holidays

  • Tuition reimbursement & training



Why Join Us



  • You won’t be stuck running the same part all day

  • You’ll work on complex, interesting jobs

  • You’ll have input on how parts are made

  • You’ll be part of a growing, technology-driven shop

  • Day, Night & Weekend shifts available



Apply now if you’re looking for a place where your skills actually matter!
