HAAS Mill Machinist
Temp-to-Hire
Pay: 27.00/hr. - $30.00 (DOE)
Shift: 6:30 am - 2:30 pm (OT Flexible)
Position Overview:
Skilled CNC Mill Programmer & Operator to run our HAAS VFS-2 3-axis vertical mill. This person will be responsible for programming, setting up, and operating the mill to produce both prototypes and production parts from engineering drawings.
In addition to running the mill, this person will program other CNC equipment (such as laser tables and plasma tables) as needed — though they will not operate those machines day-to-day. They will collaborate closely with engineering/drafting to provide design-for-manufacturability feedback.
Key Responsibilities
- Program, set up, and operate the HAAS VFS-2 CNC mill using G-code and Fusion 360 CAM software.
- Program additional shop equipment (laser tables, plasma tables) for production, when needed.
- Design and set up simple fixtures and work holding solutions.
- Select proper tooling, speeds, and feeds for quality and efficiency.
- Produce both prototypes and production runs per engineering drawings.
- Inspect finished parts for accuracy and quality using precision measuring tools.
- Provide design-for-manufacturability feedback to engineering/drafting.
- Perform routine machine maintenance and troubleshoot issues.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
Qualifications
Required:
- 3+ years of experience programming and operating CNC mills (HAAS strongly preferred).
- Proficiency with Fusion 360 or similar CAM software.
- Ability to independently take apart from print to finished product.
- Strong G-code programming skills and knowledge of tooling/fixtures.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T.
- Proficiency with calipers, micrometers, and other precision inspection tools.
Preferred:
- Experience programming for additional CNC equipment (laser, plasma).
- Basic fixture design experience.
- Certifications (NIMS, trade school diploma) are a plus but not required.
