Job Description
Space Screw Inc is expanding. We manufacture precision components for multiple industries, including aerospace, and we’re seeking a CAM expert who thrives on translating complex prints into flawless parts.
A day in the lifeYou’ll kick off with blueprint reviews, applying GD&T to confirm critical features and inspection strategies. Next, you’ll build efficient toolpaths in Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, and Parts Maker, optimizing for high-speed machining. On the floor, you’ll set up and operate Haas multi-axis mills and lathes (including 5‑axis and live-tooling mill‑turns), prove out programs, and adjust feeds, speeds, and strategies in real time. You’ll shift smoothly between rapid R&D iterations and short-run production, own the process from raw stock to final inspection, and document improvements using Lean and 5S.
What you’ll do- Program and directly support machining of precision parts to print across a variety of CNC platforms.
- Apply GD&T to interpret blueprints and to guide measurement approaches.
- Set up, operate, and change over assigned CNC machines (Haas mills/turns) to meet schedule and quality requirements.
- Use Lean Manufacturing principles and tools to drive continuous improvement and maintain 5S work areas.
- Troubleshoot machining issues; refine toolpaths and offsets during production.
- Perform in-process and final quality control using mechanical inspection tools.
- Help clean and maintain CNC equipment.
- Demonstrate reliable attendance and follow detailed safety and quality instructions.
- Proficiency with Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, and Parts Maker; 10+ years’ experience preferred.
- Hands-on programming, set-up, and operation of Haas CNC multi-axis milling and multi-axis turning.
- Experience with 5‑axis milling, live‑tool lathes, mill‑turns, and/or multi‑task machines.
- Expertise in high-speed machining strategies and tooling selection.
- Ownership mindset over the entire manufacturing workflow, from first article to completion.
- Ability to pivot between R&D prototypes and short production runs.
- Skilled with mechanical inspection tools; strong troubleshooting capability.
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and commitment to continuous learning on tools & techniques.
- Physical ability to lift at least 50 lbs. unassisted.
- Good eyesight, including depth perception, peripheral vision, and color differentiation.
- Operate within ISO9001/AS9100 practices (preferred) and adhere to all safety and quality requirements.
