Mill-Turn Setup Machinist | 1st Shift

Minneapolis–St. Paul Area | 7:00 AM–4:00 PM

We are hiring an experienced Mill-Turn Setup Machinist to join a growing precision manufacturing operation supporting complex, tight-tolerance components.

This is not an operator-only position . We are looking for a machinist who can independently own a setup from start to finish, troubleshoot machining issues, and make the adjustments necessary to get a job running correctly and consistently.

What You’ll Do

• Perform complete CNC mill-turn setups, including tooling, workholding, work/tool offsets, and machine parameters
• Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, work instructions, and CNC programs
• Select and install appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, and workholding
• Produce and inspect first-piece parts before moving into production
• Perform in-process inspection using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision measuring tools
• Make tooling and offset adjustments to maintain tight tolerances
• Independently troubleshoot setup, tooling, and machining issues
• Monitor production runs and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and part quality

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of CNC machining/setup experience
• Hands-on experience performing complete CNC mill-turn setups
• Strong knowledge of tooling, feeds and speeds, offsets, workholding, and machining processes
• Ability to read engineering drawings and GD&T
• Experience producing and inspecting tight-tolerance precision components
• Ability to troubleshoot machining problems independently
• Mazak Integrex or Quick Turn experience is highly desirable
• GibbsCAM experience is a plus

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity for a skilled machinist who enjoys the technical, problem-solving side of machining and wants to work with sophisticated equipment in a precision manufacturing environment supporting complex tooling and medical device components.
