Advanced CNC Production Machinist — FANUC Focus

Pyrotek Engineering • Aurora, OH

8d • Onsite

About The Position

Build precision. Mentor others. Keep production moving. Imagine taking a raw bar of material and, through smart programming and meticulous setups, delivering a first-article that hits every GD&T callout. That’s the impact you’ll make as an Advanced CNC Production Machinist. Shift details: 2nd Shift, Monday–Friday, 2:00 pm–10:00 pm with shift differential. Until January 5, 2026, the plant is transitioning to 4 × 10-hour shifts. Starting January 2026, the role transitions to Monday–Thursday, 3:00 pm–1:00 am. How you’ll contribute Own the process from program to production: enter G-code or use conversational programming, set zeros and references, and tune offsets and compensation. Execute efficient setups with minimal assistance—install/adjust tools, attachments, collets, bushings, and stops; indicate parts and verify alignment. Study work orders, blueprints, engineering plans, and material specifications to meet schedule commitments. Oversee drilling, grooving, turning, and facing; measure frequently, troubleshoot malfunctions, edit programs, and swap worn tooling to restore capability. Perform preventive maintenance, follow OEM guidance, and report repair issues quickly. Coach fellow machinists on production methods, programming practices, maintenance, and troubleshooting for consistent, accurate output. Capture your work: complete production and quality logs; document actions, irregularities, and ongoing needs for seamless shift handoffs. Your background Associate Degree in Machining Technology (or related) plus 3+ years of CNC machining experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Experience with FANUC controls; exposure to both mills and lathes; CMM familiarity is advantageous. Strengths you’ll leverage Technical mastery: Use and interpret dimensional measuring tools; strong mechanical aptitude; apply geometry and trigonometry to verify programs against prints; determine, sharpen, and fabricate tooling; operate hoists and hand tools; arc/radius programming with manual compensation for tool nose radius/clearance; apply technical products across industrial manufacturing processes. Team & communication: Positive collaboration with colleagues at all levels. Operational excellence: Handle confidential information with discretion; prioritize, organize, and manage time exceptionally well; adapt quickly in a fast-moving environment. Flexibility: Ability to work outside the normal schedule when business demands.
