Senior CNC Machinist

Overview

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in St. George, UT.

The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them.

Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required.

Why Join Us

• Own the whole part: Print through final inspection stays with one machinist.
• Prototype variety: New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production.
• Engineer access: Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes.

Compensation

• Base pay: Market competitive and hourly — open to discussion. Tell us what you need.

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

• Monday - Friday

Responsibilities

• Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
• Prove-Out: Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run.
• Print Interpretation: Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models.
• Workholding: Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance.
• Program Edits: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool comp at the control.
• Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
• Design Feedback: Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability.
• ERP Entry: Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system.

Qualifications

Required

• 3+ years CNC machining in precision work
• Set up complex jobs independently, start to finish
• Read complex blueprints and apply GD&T
• Hold tight tolerances on complex geometries
• Read and write G/M-code at the control
• Inspect parts with micrometers, indicators, and gauges
• Solid feeds, speeds, and tool wear fundamentals

Preferred

• 5-axis milling experience
• Large-format machinery experience
• Advanced workholding and fixture design
• Prototype or first-article prove-out experience
• Machining advanced and exotic alloys
• Troubleshooting dimensional or tooling issues at the machine
• ERP system experience
