Senior CNC Machinist

Job description

# Senior CNC Machinist > Laborup · Cedar City, United States · — · Posted 2026-09-01 **Workplace:** on_site ## Description **Overview** We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in Cedar City, UT. The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them. Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required. **Why Join Us** - **Own the whole part:** Print through final inspection stays with one machinist. - **Prototype variety:** New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production. - **Engineer access:** Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes. **Compensation** - **Base pay:** Market competitive and hourly — open to discussion. Tell us what you need. **Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift** - Monday - Friday ## Requirements **Responsibilities** - **Setups:** Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes - **Prove-Out:** Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run. - **Print Interpretation:** Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models. - **Workholding:** Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance. - **Program Edits:** Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool comp at the control. - **Inspection:** Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges. - **Design Feedback:** Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability. - **ERP Entry:** Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system. **Qualifications** Required - 3+ years CNC machining in precision work - Set up complex jobs independently, start to finish - Read complex blueprints and apply GD&T - Hold tight tolerances on complex geometries - Read and write G/M-code at the control - Inspect parts with micrometers, indicators, and gauges - Solid feeds, speeds, and tool wear fundamentals Preferred - 5-axis milling experience - Large-format machinery experience - Advanced workholding and fixture design - Prototype or first-article prove-out experience - Machining advanced and exotic alloys - Troubleshooting dimensional or tooling issues at the machine - ERP system experience ## Apply [Apply at Laborup](https://apply.workable.com/laborup/j/4BC4DA9CD7/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
