Senior CNC Machinist / Programmer -- 5-Axis Production

• Haas UMC-1000SS (or equivalent 5-axis VMC)
• Simultaneous 5-axis programming and operation. Not 3+2 positioning only. You must demonstrate proficiency in full simultaneous contouring on trunnion-style 5-axis platforms. Must be comfortable with 12,000+ RPM high-speed spindle operations. If you have only run 3-axis with a rotary table bolted on, do not apply.
• Milltronics ML18/60 (or equivalent CNC/manual lathe)
• Proficient in both CNC and manual modes. Capable of programming and running turned parts from 0.25" to 19" diameter. Thread chasing, boring, and gap-bed operations required.
• CAM Software
• Must be proficient in at least one of: Mastercam, Fusion 360 (manufacturing workspace), or SolidCAM for 5-axis toolpath generation. Must be able to go from 3D model (STEP/IGES/SolidWorks) to verified G-code with minimal hand-holding from engineering.
• Inspection / Metrology
• Experience with portable CMM arms (Faro, Romer, or equivalent — we run a Sylvac/Kreon arm). Must be able to perform first-article inspection, generate inspection reports, and hold tolerances to customer specification.

• Large-format FDM/FFF 3D printing (we run a Modix BIG-120X V4 with 500°ree;C capability for CF-Nylon and high-temp filaments)
• CNC hot wire foam cutting (EPS/XPS — 3000 Shaper system)
• Cerakote application and curing process
• Basic welding (MIG/TIG) for fixture fabrication
• Manual machining on Bridgeport-style mills and engine lathes

• Minimum 7 years of CNC machining experience, with at least 3 years on 5-axis platforms
• Proven experience machining aluminum 6061/7075, 4140/4340 steel, 304/316 stainless, titanium Ti-6Al-4V, and Delrin/UHMW plastics
• Ability to hold tolerances of ±0.001" routinely and ±0.0005" when required
• Proficient reading and interpreting GD&T per ASME Y14.5
• U.S. Citizen (required for facility clearance and DoD work)
• Must pass background investigation for Secret clearance
• Must work on-site. This is a shop floor position. There is no remote option.

• This is not a job description full of corporate filler. Here is what your week looks like:
• Receive engineering drawings and 3D models from our ME team. Program toolpaths in CAM. Set up the Haas UMC-1000SS. Cut parts. Inspect them. Ship them.
• Evaluate incoming manufacturing opportunities alongside engineering. Your job is to tell us what it takes to make the part — not whether we should try.
• When a job exceeds our in-house capability, identify the specific operation that needs to go out, recommend a sub-vendor, and manage that relationship.
• Maintain the Haas and Milltronics — tool changes, offsets, preventive maintenance, coolant management. These are your machines.
• Support rapid prototyping using 3D printing (Modix 120X) and foam cutting when jobs require mixed-method fabrication.
• Perform first-article inspections using the Sylvac CMM arm and produce inspection documentation to government spec.
• Work directly with our electrical engineer on integrated electro-mechanical assemblies requiring machined housings, brackets, or enclosures.

• Active Secret or Top Secret clearance
• Experience in a DoD prototype or LRIP (Low-Rate Initial Production) environment
• Experience with Haas NGC control specifically
• Naval systems, weapons systems, or UAS/drone hardware fabrication experience
• Military veteran (any branch)
