Precision CNC Programmer–Machinist, Metals & Alloys

Do you thrive at the intersection of speed, precision, and problem‑solving?Can you set up a 2–4 axis lathe, dial in a 3–4 axis VMC, and tweak code at the control to bring a tough feature into tolerance? Are Fanuc, Okuma, and Haas your daily languages? If yes, QCMI wants to talk.Your missionOwn end-to-end execution—from setup to first-article approval to steady production—while collaborating with engineering, quality, and manufacturing to deliver parts that meet spec and schedule.Impact in your first 90 daysIndependently set up CNC lathes and mills (including 5-axis VMC) and release repeatable processes to production.Read complex prints; apply GD&T to verify critical dimensions and features.Adjust programs at the machine; optimize tooling, offsets, and parameters.Choose appropriate tooling and speeds/feeds for castings, forgings, and exotic alloys.Model lean thinking on the floor; leverage 6 Sigma concepts; align to ISO9001/AS9100 practices.Must-haves3+ years as a CNC machinist in a machine shop.Proven ability to set up and work unsupervised.Hands-on experience with Fanuc, Okuma, Haas, and similar controls.Competence making program edits at machining centers.Blueprint reading, GD&T, and strong shop math.Knowledge of metals and their machining behavior (castings, forgings, exotic alloys).Excellent communication; team-first mindset; dependable work ethic.Own tools and willingness to work overtime when needed.Good to haveLean manufacturing know-how.Familiarity with 6 Sigma methodologies.General understanding of ISO9001/AS9100 systems.Core proficienciesMachine setups for production runsShop mathBlueprint readingTechnology you’ll touchCNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)Rewards & growthCompetitive wages and a solid benefits package.Opportunities to deepen multi-axis expertise and continuous improvement skill sets.Training optionNo machining experience yet?
