Job Summary

We are hiring an experienced CNC Machinist to own setup programming and operation of Haas CNC milling equipment including a Haas TM-3P. Machining is the core of this role. When the mill isnt running youll cross-train on a JD Squared XR12 CNC tube and pipe cutter robotic welding cells inspection and fit-up. Training is provided on equipment-specific software and processes. This is a strong fit for a machinist who wants to grow into automation and robotics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set up and operate Haas CNC mills including workholding tooling work offsets tool offsets probing and first-part setup
  • Create edit troubleshoot and optimize CNC programs using G-code and M-code
  • Select cutting tools feeds and speeds depths of cut and machining sequences based on material geometry and tolerance
  • Read and interpret blueprints engineering drawings weld symbols tolerances and GD&T
  • Perform first-part and in-process inspection using calipers micrometers height gauges and indicators
  • Program and operate the JD Squared XR12 tube cutter including importing STEP files verifying geometry and assigning cutting and drilling operations
  • Load and set up square rectangular and round tube pipe angle and channel on the XR12
  • Set up Hypertherm Powermax85 SYNC plasma cutting parameters including cartridge selection amperage and pierce settings
  • Support robotic welding cells including fixture setup part loading torch alignment TCP verification and weld parameter checks
  • Set up and align fixtures clamps and workholding for machining robotic welding and fabrication
  • Assist with fit-up tack welding deburring drilling and material prep as needed
  • Troubleshoot tooling issues dimensional variation program errors plasma cut quality and fixture problems
  • Perform operator-level preventive maintenance on assigned equipment
  • Work with Manufacturing Engineering to improve cycle times fixtures tooling and repeatability
  • Document setups first-part results and process issues

Required Qualifications

  • 5 to 8 years of hands-on CNC machining experience with a focus on CNC mill setup programming and operation
  • Haas CNC experience strongly preferred with the ability to independently set up jobs set offsets and produce good first parts
  • Strong working knowledge of G-code and M-code
  • Solid understanding of cutting tools tool holders speeds and feeds drilling tapping milling and coolant application
  • Ability to read complex blueprints machining callouts weld symbols and GD&T
  • Proficient with precision measuring tools
  • Experience machining carbon steel stainless steel and aluminum
  • Comfortable working with machine controls digital drawings and electronic job files
  • Willing to learn tube processing plasma cutting and robotic welding
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
  • CAM software or CAD/STEP file experience is a plus
  • Conversational programming experience is a plus
  • Robotic welding teach pendant or TCP setup experience is a plus
  • Welding fitting or metal fabrication experience is a plus
  • Trade school apprenticeship or certification in CNC machining welding robotics or automation is a plus
