1st Shift - CNC Programming Machinist

Job Title: CNC Machinist/ProgrammerLocation: Richfield, WIShift: 1st Shift, rotating.5:00 AM - 3:30 PM, M-Th (2 weeks)5:00 AM - 3:30 PM, T-F (2 weeks)Pay Range: $28.00 - $34.00 / hourJob Summary: We are seeking a CNC Machinist/Programmerproficient in conversational programming to program, set up, and operate CNC mills/lathes. You will translate blueprints into machine instructions directly at the controller-bypassing external CAM software-to produce high-quality parts. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, prototype, or low-volume production environments, utilizing onboardcontrol features to optimize cycle times and ensure precision. KeyResponsibilities

• Conversational Programming: Directly input part geometry, tooling, and machining parameters into the CNC controller (e.g., Fanuc, Haas, Mazatrol, or similar) to generate machine paths.
• Setup & Operation: Perform machine setup, including tool selection, fixture preparation, and work offset calibration.
• Blueprint Interpretation: Read and interpret complex technical drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and engineering specifications.
• Quality Assurance: Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, and gauges to ensure compliance with specifications; make necessary offsets or program adjustments to maintain tolerances.
• Troubleshooting: Diagnose and rectify machining issues (tool wear, chatter, finish quality) during production runs.
• Workflow Optimization: Manage quick-turnaround jobs by efficiently using conversational canned cycles and pre-programmed settings.
• Maintenance: Perform routine machine preventative maintenance and maintain a clean, organized work area.

• Experience: Proven experience in a CNC machining role with a heavy emphasis on conversational programming.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of speeds, feeds, material properties, and cutting tool selection.
• Math/Logic: Strong shop math skills.
• Independence: Ability to work with minimal supervision and manage multiple tasks in a production environment.
• Attitude: Detail-oriented, quality-focused, and willing to work overtime as required by production schedules.

• Experience with specific control interfaces (e.g., Mazatrol, Fagor, Haas NGC, Hurco).
• Ability to perform basic G-code editing if conversational limits are reached. xhqgsiq
