## Description

**Overview:**

We're hiring a hands-on CNC Programmer & Machinist for our precision machining and tooling facility outside of Louisville, KY.

Alongside the parts we're known for providing the machining industry, this site machines large-format dies and equipment for the extrusion industry, holding tight tolerances on 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes.

We're looking for a machinist who came up on the shop floor, has deep hands-on experience, and has learned true CNC programming along the way. You'll write and edit programs in NX, including full 5-axis mill programming, then head to the floor to prove them out yourself. You'll still run setups, in-process inspections, and program adjustments daily.

This is work for advanced hands-on machinists with the programming skill to build the process from the ground up.

**Why Join Us**

-   **Advanced Machines:** Run and program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC mills and lathes daily.
-   **Real Ownership:** Program it, prove it out, and see it through
-   **Clean Shop:** Temperature-controlled, organized work environment.

**Compensation**

-   $33 – $34 / hr to start

**Shift**

-   **1st shift:** Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM

**Responsibilities:**

-   **Programming:** Write, edit, and optimize CNC programs in NX, including 5-axis mill programs.
-   **Program Validation:** Prove out your own programs at the machine, and partner with machinists to ensure programs run reliably in production.
-   **Setups:** Set up, operate, and maintain multiple CNC mills and lathes.
-   **Blueprints:** Interpret complex prints, GD&T specs, and work instructions.
-   **Inspection:** Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, calipers, and height gauges.
-   **Program Adjustments:** Dial in cycles and cutting parameters to keep processes on spec.
-   **Tooling Maintenance:** Maintain and resurface tooling used in your machines.
-   **Troubleshooting:** Solve complex problems, pulling in technical experts as needed.
