Precision CNC Machinist-Programmer (Job Shop, Haas)

Do you enjoy taking a print and turning it into a finished, dialed-in part—without hand-holding? In a true job shop, that’s the norm. Join our Benton, TN team and run work start-to-finish on Haas mills and lathes using SolidCAM.

Is this you?

• Do you have 3+ years on CNC mills or lathes?
• Can you set up your own jobs on Haas equipment?
• Can you read prints, apply GD&T, and verify your own parts?
• Are you comfortable editing programs right at the machine control?

What will you tackle?

• Program toolpaths (SolidCAM preferred), set up tooling/fixtures, and prove out.
• Adjust code and offsets on the fly to achieve spec and finish.
• Document setups so future runs are smooth and repeatable.
• Shift gears quickly as part mix changes throughout the week.
