Job Description

We are a rapidly expanding company with extreme growth over the last year — and we’re just getting started. New projects are coming in daily, and we’re running top-of-the-line CNC machines to meet demand.

We’re looking for a highly experienced CNC Lathe Setup Technician who can step into a fast-moving environment and take charge of complex, high-precision setups. If you know how to get a lathe running efficiently, accurately, and with confidence, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Perform efficient setups on CNC lathes for both prototype and production runs

  • Work on new and varied projects regularly — no boring, repetitive days

  • Optimize tooling, Workholding, and programs for speed and precision

  • Troubleshoot issues and work closely with programmers and operators

  • Maintain a high standard of quality, accuracy, and shop organization

  • Contribute to process improvements as we scale up our capabilities

What We're Looking For

  • Deep experience with CNC lathe setups

  • Strong understanding of offsets, tooling, blueprint reading, and inspection

  • A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-mix shop environment

  • Someone who takes pride in craftsmanship and knows how to get the job done right

This is a role for a true professional — someone who’s ready to be a key player on a high-performing team.
