About Us
We are a rapidly growing engineering and biotechnology company that designs and manufactures advanced scientific instruments, automation systems, and custom manufacturing equipment.
Unlike a traditional machine shop, our work is fast-paced and constantly evolving. You'll machine prototype parts, production fixtures, injection mold components, and precision mechanical assemblies that directly support new product development.
If you enjoy solving problems, making one-off parts, and working closely with engineers, you'll fit right in.
The Role
We're looking for a skilled CNC Operator who enjoys producing high-quality precision components and continuously improving machining processes.
You'll operate and set up CNC mills, manufacture custom components, inspect finished parts, and work directly with our engineering team to bring new designs to life.
Every week brings new challenges, new parts, and new opportunities to improve.
Responsibilities
- Set up and operate CNC milling machines
- Machine precision aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, and engineering materials
- Read engineering drawings and CAD models
- Select tooling, fixtures, and workholding
- Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment
- Deburr and finish machined components to a high cosmetic standard
- Manufacture prototype parts, fixtures, and production tooling
- Assist with machining injection mold components
- Maintain tooling inventory and machine cleanliness
- Identify opportunities to reduce machining time and improve quality
- Work closely with engineers during prototype development
Qualifications
- Experience operating CNC milling machines
- Ability to read technical drawings
- Familiarity with GD&T is an asset
- Comfortable using calipers, micrometers, indicators, and other inspection tools
- Strong attention to detail
- Excellent organizational skills
- Reliable and self-motivated
- Comfortable working in a rapidly changing engineering environment
Nice to Have
Experience with any of the following is considered a strong asset:
- CAM software (Fusion 360, Mastercam, SolidCAM, etc.)
- CNC programming
- Toolpath optimization
- Fixture and workholding design
- Injection mold machining
- Prototype machining
- Surface finishing and polishing
- Manual mills or lathes
- 3D printing
- Vacuum fixtures
- High-speed machining
- Multi-axis machining
What Success Looks Like
- Parts are accurate and produced right the first time
- Machine setups are efficient and repeatable
- Surface finish and dimensional quality are consistently excellent
- Engineers can move quickly from design to finished prototype
- New ideas are suggested to improve machining efficiency and reduce costs
- The shop remains organized, safe, and ready for the next project
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation based on experience
- Paid vacation
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge scientific instruments and automation
- Modern equipment and a collaborative engineering environment
- Significant opportunities for growth as our manufacturing capabilities expand
If you're passionate about precision machining and enjoy building parts that help bring innovative products to life, we'd love to hear from you.
Pay: $55,000.00-$78,000.00 per year
