The successful candidate for this Skilled Machinist position will take responsibility for all aspects of in-house production of machined 3D printer components. This involves both programming CAD/CAM and operating a large 3-axis Hurco CNC mill, as well as operating a manual lathe, mill, and other power tools precisely, safely, and efficiently. The Skilled Machinist will also help design fixtures, schedule and execute part production, and contribute to improving our quality control processes. This is an ideal opportunity for a creative, responsible, self-motivated team player who can thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and contribute to our mission of building 3D printers to the highest manufacturing standards possible.The successful candidate will participate in the culture and values of our company, reinforcing the soft and social skills necessary for transitioning service members to succeed in the civilian work environment. Among other requirements, the Skilled Machinist will build strong team relationships; follow and uphold all company policies, procedures, and guidelines; train and supervise production staff; and work closely with operations staff, product engineers, customer support, and other team members to troubleshoot assembly and maintenance issues, improve product designs, and refine workflows. Our goal for the candidate is to enable them to transition to civilian life in a positive, upbeat, collaborative setting and prepare them for future professional success. We prefer candidates who have had a minimum of five years in a managerial or supervisory role in a manufacturing operation. We also strongly prefer candidates with previous experience with setup and operation of large Hurco CNC machines. This position is an interim/onboarding position with potential for transition to permanent employment at the completion of the candidateship, contingent upon successful evaluation of performance and fit.
