Wire EDM & CNC Machinist
About this role
Overview
We're hiring a Wire EDM Programmer / Machinist for our precision medical machine shop.
You'll program, set up, and run wire EDM machines on high-mix, low-volume jobs, machining complex medical parts to tight tolerances. You'll own each job from print to first-piece inspection — programming the cut, designing and building the fixturing, indicating parts in, and running the machine. You'll also set up and run CNC mills and lathes, often operating multiple machines at once.
You don't need to walk in able to run every machine. We hire for fundamentals and teach the rest.
