CNC Machinist / Programmer – 5-Axis Milling

Location: Wixom, MI
Pay: $30–$35/hour, based on experience
Schedule: Full-Time

Put your CNC programming and machining skills to work!

Are you an experienced CNC Machinist who enjoys taking a project from programming and setup all the way through the finished part? We're looking for a skilled 5-Axis CNC Machinist/Programmer to join an established, full-service machine shop in Wixom.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who knows their way around CNC milling, is comfortable working with Mastercam, and can take ownership of their work with minimal supervision.

You'll work on a variety of prototype, specialty, and small production-run parts, giving you the opportunity to put your machining knowledge and problem-solving skills to use every day.

What You'll Be Doing

• Program, set up, and operate CNC milling machines, primarily HAAS.
• Create and edit programs using Mastercam.
• Make conversational programming adjustments and edits directly at the machine.
• Machine prototype, specialty, and small-batch parts.
• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications.
• Select tooling, determine cutting speeds, and adjust machining parameters.
• Inspect parts throughout the machining process to ensure accuracy and quality.
• Troubleshoot programming, tooling, and machining issues.
• Take ownership of jobs from setup through completion.

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of hands-on 5-axis CNC machining experience.
• Strong experience programming, setting up, and operating CNC milling machines.
• Working knowledge of Mastercam.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings.
• Solid understanding of tooling, machining processes, and cutting parameters.
• Ability to work independently and make adjustments as needed.
• A strong eye for detail and commitment to producing quality parts.

Additional experience with HAAS machines, prototype machining, inspection equipment, or mentoring other machinists is a plus.

What's In It for You?

• Competitive pay of $30–$35 per hour based on experience.
• Opportunity to work on a variety of machining projects rather than repetitive production work.
• A position where your programming and machining experience are valued.
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of your projects.

Pay is based on skill level and experience. Candidates who can independently program, set up, operate, and troubleshoot 5-axis CNC milling operations will be considered toward the top of the pay range.
