CNC Machinist III

Overview

The CNC Machinist III is an advanced-level machining role responsible for complex part programming, setup, and production of precision components used in the manufacture of orthotic and prosthetic devices. This role requires deep technical expertise in CNC programming, tooling strategy, and problem resolution. The CNC Machinist III serves as a technical resource on the shop floor, supporting production continuity, mentoring junior machinists, and driving quality and efficiency improvements. This position plays a key role in ensuring that machined components meet the exacting tolerances and quality standards required for patient-critical O&P devices.

Responsibilities

• Program less complex parts at the machine and support programming of more advanced components
• Select cutting tools, fixtures, and machining strategies for complex part geometries
• Calculate and set machining parameters including speed, feed, depth of cut, and coolant flow
• Monitor machine operations to identify malfunctions or out-of-tolerance conditions and implement corrective actions
• Perform advanced troubleshooting of machining issues, tooling failures, and fit-up problems
• Support mold, fixture, and tooling refinement to improve manufacturability and cycle time
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to Machinist I and II level team members
• Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to resolve complex part and process issues
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment; model safety standards for the team

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Trade Certificate or relevant apprenticeship strongly preferred
• 5+ years of CNC machining experience with demonstrated progression in responsibility
• Must have, or be eligible to obtain, a valid driver’s license and driving record within the standards outlined within Hanger’s Motor Vehicle Safety Policy and Procedures.
