Job Description
Overview
We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in Cedar City, UT.
The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them.
Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required.
Why Join Us
- Own the whole part: Print through final inspection stays with one machinist.
- Prototype variety: New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production.
- Engineer access: Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes.
Compensation
- Base pay: Market competitive and hourly — open to discussion. Tell us what you need.
Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift
- Monday - Friday
Requirements
Responsibilities
- Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
- Prove-Out: Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run.
- Print Interpretation: Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models.
- Workholding: Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance.
- Program Edits: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool comp at the control.
- Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
- Design Feedback: Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability.
- ERP Entry: Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system.
Qualifications
Required
- 3+ years CNC machining in precision work
- Set up complex jobs independently, start to finish
- Read complex blueprints and apply GD&T
- Hold tight tolerances on complex geometries
- Read and write G/M-code at the control

- Solid feeds, speeds, and tool wear fundamentals
Preferred
- 5-axis milling experience
- Large-format machinery experience
- Advanced workholding and fixture design
- Prototype or first-article prove-out experience
- Machining advanced and exotic alloys
- Troubleshooting dimensional or tooling issues at the machine
- ERP system experience
