CNC Machinist / Multi-Axis Programmer

We're not looking for someone to push a green button.

At Focused On Machining, we build complex, tight-tolerance components for aerospace and defense customers — the kind of work that demands real programmers who can own a part from print to first article. If you can look at a challenging workpiece, figure out how to hold it, write the program, and make it right the first time, we want to talk.

We run a small, focused team where skilled people have real ownership of their work. No micromanagement. No busywork. Just good machining.

What You'll Own

• Full programming and setup on multi-axis CNC equipment — 4th axis experience required, 5-axis a plus
• Developing and proving out programs from scratch on complex aerospace components
• Holding tight tolerances on Aluminum, Titanium, Stainless, and exotic alloys
• Reading and interpreting blueprints, GD&T callouts, and engineering specs
• First-article, in-process, and final inspection using high-precision metrology equipment
• Contributing to continuous improvement — if you see a better way, say so

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of CNC machining experience with demonstrated programming ownership — not just editing
• 4th axis programming experience required — simultaneous 5-axis a significant plus
• Mastercam proficiency required — you should be able to build a toolpath from scratch
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
• Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience strongly preferred
• Experience machining Titanium or other exotic alloys is a plus
• You take pride in your work and hold yourself to a high standard

Why Work at FOM

• 4-day work week, 10-hour shifts — real work-life balance, not just a talking point
• Flexible scheduling — life happens; we work with you when it does
• Competitive pay: $30–$42/hr depending on experience — we pay for real skill
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Modern equipment and the kind of parts that keep you engaged
• Small team, direct communication, and no bureaucratic nonsense
• Optional overtime when you want extra hours

Requirements

• CNC machining experience: 5 years minimum (Required)
• Multi-axis programming — 4th axis minimum: 3 years (Required)
• Mastercam programming: 3 years (Required)
• Simultaneous 5-axis programming (Preferred)
• Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience (Preferred)
