Machinist

please review the attached culture document that is attached. Overview Fasteners Unlimited Inc. delivers mission-critical components with precision and speed. As a leader in fast-turn, high-complexity machining, we rely on expert machinists to uphold quality, efficiency, and innovation at the spindle. The Class A Machinist is a senior-level technical role with broad autonomy and cross-functional impact. Precision Work for Those Who Take Pride in Mastery Fasteners Unlimited isn't just another machine shop-we're a fast-moving aerospace and military parts manufacturer built on precision, speed, and a commitment to craftsmanship. Our customers demand excellence, and we deliver because of people like you: Machinists who don't just "run parts," but who program, troubleshoot, and optimize from setup to finish. We're hiring a Class A Machinist with proven experience programming in Okuma's IGF, and setting up and running Okuma Multus B300 and B400 platforms. This is a top-tier role for someone who thrives in a high-complexity, low-margin-for-error environment. If you're looking to level up in a shop that respects your experience and gives you the room to own your machine, this is it. Position Purpose The Class A Machinist independently performs complex CNC setups, creates and optimizes G & M code programs, designs fixtures, and leads troubleshooting efforts. This role is essential in high-mix/low-volume environments and often serves as a floor mentor and problem-solver across shifts. What You'll Do: Program complex parts using Okuma's IGF control system Set up and run Okuma Multus B300 and B400 machines to tight tolerances (typically ±.001") Collaborate with CAM and engineering to improve part strategies and programming workflows Develop and document setup sheets, tooling strategies, and fixture designs Perform first article inspections and ensure in-process quality control Troubleshoot production issues in real time, including tool wear, finish deviation, and dimensional issues Provide feedback for continuous process and program improvements Core Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent required; post-secondary machining education strongly preferred 8+ years of experience operating and programming CNC mills/lathes 4+ years specifically programming with IGF on Okuma lathes or Multus platforms Skilled in multi-axis CNC programming and use of CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360) Proven setup and operation experience on Okuma Multus B300/B400 or similar multi-axis equipment High fluency in blueprint reading, GD&T, and aerospace tolerancing standards Skilled with micrometers, indicators, bore gauges, and related inspection tools Ability to develop and troubleshoot programs, select tooling, and design work holding independently Demonstrated experience with fixture design, setup optimization, and cycle time reduction Strong leadership, communication, and process improvement skills Preferred Qualifications: Experience with tight turnaround, low-to-medium volume production Familiarity with ERP systems (JobBOSS2 a plus) Experience machining exotic materials and aerospace-grade metals Exposure to 5S and Lean Manufacturing principles Key Responsibilities Programming & Setup Leadership Create, edit, and optimize CNC programs for part precision, repeatability, and speed Lead setups for complex parts, including custom fixturing, probing routines, and zeroing strategy Design jigs, fixtures, or process aids to improve repeatability or reduce setup time Technical Troubleshooting & Process Optimization Diagnose and resolve advanced machining issues related to surface finish, tool wear, vibration, or tolerance stack-up Analyze cycle times and suggest toolpath or fixture modifications to improve throughput Partner with engineering on DFM feedback, new part trials, and prototype development Quality & Team Collaboration Perform in-process inspections using micrometers, bore gauges, thread gauges, and comparators Work closely with QC to resolve inspection holds and contribute to corrective actions Mentor Class C/B machinists in setup methods, best practices, and problem-solving Documentation & Preventive Maintenance Maintain clean and revision-controlled setup sheets, tool lists, and programming records Conduct routine machine maintenance, fill out pre-shift checklists, and escalate abnormalities promptly Upload setup documentation and in-process revisions to JobBOSS as needed Provide feedback to improve routing clarity, traveler instructions, and BOM accuracy Physical & Environmental Requirements Full-time, on-site position Fast-paced, collaborative production floor with high mix, low volume Standing and walking for 8-10 hours per shift Reaching, lifting, and handling items up to 50 lbs Work environment includes machine shop conditions: noise, coolant exposure, and PPE usage Systems & Tools Used CNC mills and lathes (HAAS, Okuma, Fanuc, or equivalent) CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360) ERP/job tracking systems (e.g., JobBOSS) Inspection tools and digital documentation platforms Success Profile The ideal Class A Machinist is a highly autonomous, technically gifted problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, precision-driven environment. They drive productivity through better setups, programming expertise, and team mentorship. Success in this role is measured by: Setup time efficiency and reduction in first-piece rework Programming accuracy and optimization effectiveness First-pass yield and dimensional conformity Machine uptime and routine maintenance compliance Mentorship impact on junior machinists and team troubleshooting capability Feedback from QC and Engineering on routings, DFM insights, and production readiness What Makes This Role Different: You won't just run a program-you'll own the setup, optimize it, and help write it You'll be surrounded by other Class nd B machinists who support one another and share knowledge You'll work with modern, well-maintained machines in a clean, organized environment You'll be part of a team that values both professionalism and radical openness Why Fasteners Unlimited? You get respect here: Your programming experience is valued, not micromanaged You grow here: Mentorship, continuous improvement, and cross-training are baked into our culture You matter here: Everyone contributes to quality, culture, and the bottom line If you're a Class A-level machinist looking to work with high-end equipment, real autonomy, and a team that respects the trade-apply now.
