Position Overview

Anlin Windows & Doors, a MITER Brand, is seeking an experienced CNC Tool Maker to join our high‑end, advanced CNC tooling shop in Clovis, CA. This is not a traditional production machinist role—it is a senior‑level toolmaker position supporting a precision tooling operation in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

Reporting to the Tooling Engineering Supervisor, this role shares responsibility for the creation, programming, machining, construction, and implementation of complex tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, and special equipment used throughout our manufacturing operation.

• Perform manual grinding and finishing when required
• Apply heat‑treating knowledge to achieve tooling performance and durability requirements
• Maintain tight tolerances up to ±.0002” using precision measuring instruments
• Perform quality repairs, tooling changeovers, and preventative maintenance across manufacturing tooling
• Ensure tooling operates safely, efficiently, and consistently throughout the facility
• Maintain documentation including tooling records, drawings, PM logs, and maintenance history
• Troubleshoot tooling and process issues using sound technical judgment and cost‑effective solutions
• Operate effectively in a fast‑paced, highly multi‑tasked environment with a target‑oriented approach

Qualifications

• Advanced CNC machining background with demonstrated toolmaking experience or trajectory
• Strong CAM experience required; CAD experience preferredSolidWorks, Fusion 360, MasterCAM, AutoCAD, or similar
• Thorough understanding of:Tool and fixture designCutter selection and machining strategyHeat treatment processesPrecision assemblies and tolerance stack‑ups
• Background in toolmaking, mold making, or aerospace machining strongly preferred
• Senior‑level capability typically gained through 4+ years of advanced CNC or toolmaking experience
• Associate of Science in Machine Tool Technology or completion of a certified Machinist / Tool & Die apprenticeship preferred

Skills & Attributes

• Highly organized with the ability to plan, execute, and complete complex work
• Effective in fast‑paced, multi‑priority environments
• Driven, target‑oriented, and results‑focused
