Job Description

Job DescriptionDescription:

Position Summary: We’re seeking a detail-oriented and tech-savvy CNC Machinist to operate high-performance Haas CNC machines, program using Fusion 360, and leverage both 4th-axis rotary machining and additive (3D printing) capabilities to produce precision components. Ideal candidates will demonstrate strong programming skills, precision machining practices, and a deep understanding of both subtractive and additive workflows.

Requirements:

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Interpret blueprints, CAD models, and complete reverse-engineering of surgical instruments to develop accurate machining strategies.
  • Program CNC operations using Fusion 360 CAM, including 2.5 to 4 axis toolpaths and customized Haas-compatible post-processing.
  • Set up and operate Haas CNC machines, including installation of tooling, fixtures, and managing machine setup.
  • Execute machining utilizing 4th-axis rotation, including sophisticated operations around a rotary axis.
  • Program and run repetitive operations using canned cycles (e.g., drilling, tapping, pocketing).
  • Oversee 3D printing workflows, including slicing and generating G-code for additive manufacturing tasks.
  • Measure and inspect finished parts with tools such as micrometers, calipers, and surface testers to ensure tolerance and finish integrity.
  • Perform routine machine maintenance, troubleshoot programming or mechanical issues, and implement adjustments to maintain product quality.
  • Collaborate effectively with engineers, programmers, and quality teams to optimize production and support continuous improvement efforts.


Required Qualifications

  • Proven experience programming and operating Haas CNC machines.
  • Proficiency with Fusion 360 CAM, including post-processor configuration for Haas and multi-axis operations.
  • Hands-on experience with 4th-axis or rotary table machining.
  • Familiarity with 3D printing technologies and the generation of G-code from slicers.
  • Solid understanding of G-code, including G- and M-codes, and experience with canned cycles (e.g., G81–G89).
  • Strong grasp of machinist terminology such as roughing, finishing, speeds and feeds, tool offsets, and cutter compensation.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD/CAM models accurately.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, strong attention to detail, and adherence to safety practices.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in disassembling, measuring, and drawing surgical instruments components, including tight-tolerance components, and surgical-grade materials (e.g., stainless steel, titanium).
  • Familiarity with hybrid additive–subtractive workflows or HASM processes.
  • Experience designing and implementing fixtures and jigs for complex multi-axis machining tasks.
  • Comfortable creating or customizing Haas post-processors within Fusion 360.
  • 3D Printing experience
  • #ZR
