Are you the person people trust to set up a job and get it right?

Advance CNC Machining is looking for an experienced 4- and 5-Axis CNC Setup Machinist who takes pride in producing quality parts and can be trusted to take ownership of a job from setup through production.

We're looking for someone who is conscientious, independent, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. Someone who understands that a successful setup isn't just getting a machine running—it's creating a process that produces accurate, repeatable parts.

At Advance CNC Machining, we specialize in producing high precision machined parts for customers from coast to coast including equipment manufacturers, food, drug and the aerospace and defense industries. We believe in getting the right people in the right seats so we can fulfill our mission to create more opportunities for our families and our neighbors.

What You’ll Do

As an experienced Setup Machinist, you'll be responsible for setting up complex CNC machining jobs and making sure they're ready to produce quality parts consistently.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Setting up CNC machining centers for production
• Creating first article parts for verification
• Supporting CNC Operators during production runs

Compensation Package includes:

• 401k plan with a generous 100% employer match up to $5200 per year
• 80 hours of paid time off (PTO) your first year, increasing annually up to 200 hours.
• 6 paid holidays
• Medical, dental, vision, life, accident, and disability insurance coverage options
• Bonus opportunities

What You Bring

We're looking for a Setup Machinist who takes ownership of getting the job right—not someone who simply gets the machine running.

The skills needed:

• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and CMM data, including GD&T.
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and more.
• Strong understanding of CNC programming.
• Knowledge of CNC machines
