CNC Setup Machinist (3-Axis & 5-Axis)
Job Description
Job description:
<<< About Us >>>
YMT is an AS9100D / ISO 9001 certified machine and fabrication shop serving aerospace
and DoD customers. We run 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling, turning, finishing, custom
weldments, electrical enclosures, tube bending, and powder coating. As a CMMC Level 2
shop, we hold ourselves to a high standard — and we need a machinist who can match it.
<<< What You'll Do >>>
You'll take released G-code, tooling, and stock, and turn it into a running, verified setup —
reliably, multiple times a day. Specifically:
• Set, install, and touch off tooling for 3-axis and 5-axis mill jobs
• Pull or saw-cut stock as needed
• Run the first part while closely watching for anomalies — heavy cuts, chatter,
unusual sounds — and react before they become a problem
• Review released G-code before and during the run, fine-tuning at the machine when
there's an opportunity to improve safety, cycle time, or fit-up
• Conduct first article inspection on completed setups
• Run production following a successful setup
<<< What We're Looking For >>>
• 5+ years of hands-on experience setting up complex parts on 3-axis and 5-axis CNC
mills
• Familiarity with Haas controls — our shop runs Haas machines exclusively, so
comfort with the Haas control interface and conversational/G-code environment is
a must
• Strong G-code literacy — able to read a program, understand what it's about to do,
and spot ways to run it smarter
• Comfortable making targeted edits at the machine control to dial in a program
• High work rate: capable of running 3-4 complete setups per day
• Strong first article inspection / precision measurement skills
• Aerospace or defense manufacturing background strongly preferred
• Must be able to work in a U.S. Person / ITAR-controlled environment
<<< Nice to Have >>>
• NIMS certification
• Experience in a CMMC Level 2 or AS9100D shop
• Experience with saw-cutting stock to length
<<< What You'll Bring Every Day >>>
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for someone who takes pride in getting a setup right the
first time and keeps pace without cutting corners. If you're the person on the floor everyone
trusts to catch the problem before it becomes scrap, we want to talk to you.
<<< Benefits >>>
• Competitive Weekly Pay – direct deposit
• Vacation and Sick Pay
• Health Insurance
• Bonus Opportunity - up to $1,000 per quarter based on company and personal
performance
• Free snacks
• Collaborative, kind, and respectful culture
<<< Work Schedule >>>
Monday – Thursday | (4) Ten-Hour Shifts (3) Days Off
6:00am – 4:30pm
