Full Job Description

Build a Career That Makes a Difference

For nearly 50 years, Phillips Precision, Inc. has been a trusted leader in the manufacturing of precision orthopedic implants and surgical instruments. We don't just manufacture parts—we manufacture products that improve lives.

As an ISO-certified medical device manufacturer, we invest in state-of-the-art equipment, advanced manufacturing technology, and the talented people who make our success possible. We offer long-term career stability, competitive compensation, outstanding benefits, and opportunities for professional growth.

If you're an experienced CNC Machinist who takes pride in precision work, thrives on challenging setups, and enjoys solving complex machining problems, we want to hear from you.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Class A CNC Mill Setup Machinist for our 1st Shift. This is not an operator position.

We are looking for a machinist with 7-10 years of hands-on CNC milling setup experience who can independently set up complex jobs, troubleshoot machining issues, optimize processes, and consistently produce high-quality precision components with minimal supervision.

This individual will play a key role in supporting production while mentoring less experienced machinists and maintaining the high quality standards expected in medical device manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Perform complete machine setups from blueprints, setup sheets, and work instructions.
Independently setup and operate 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC milling machines.
Make program edits and machine offsets as necessary to optimize production.
Verify first-piece inspections and make required adjustments prior to production.
Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment.
Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T.
Select, install, and adjust tooling and fixtures.
Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and process issues to minimize downtime.
Work closely with Engineering, Programming, and Quality to improve manufacturing processes.
Optimize cycle times while maintaining strict quality standards.
Maintain accurate production documentation and ERP transactions.
Train and mentor Class B and Class C machinists when needed.
Follow all company quality procedures, GMP requirements, and safety standards.
Maintain a clean and organized work area.

QualificationsRequired Experience

7-10 years of CNC Mill setup experience is required.
Experience must include complete machine setups—not simply machine operation.
Proven experience setting up complex precision-machined components from start to finish.
Medical device, aerospace, or other high-precision manufacturing experience preferred.

Technical Skills

Strong knowledge of CNC Milling (Vertical and Horizontal Machining Centers).
Experience with 4-axis and 5-axis machining.
Working knowledge of Haas, Fanuc, Makino, or similar CNC controls.
Ability to edit G-Code at the machine.
Strong understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling, and cutting parameters.
Experience with Haas probing systems preferred.
Advanced blueprint reading skills.
Thorough understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
Proficient with precision measuring instruments including:
Micrometers
Depth Micrometers
Calipers
Bore Gages
Height Gages
Indicators
Experience with ERP/MRP manufacturing systems is a plus.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a machinist who:

Takes ownership of every setup.
Has excellent troubleshooting skills.
Works independently with minimal supervision.
Maintains exceptional attention to detail.
Has a strong work ethic and positive attitude.
Enjoys continuous improvement.
Values quality over shortcuts.
Wants to build a long-term career—not just find another job.

Join us at Phillips Precision Medicraft where your expertise will directly contribute to the production of life-changing orthopedic devices. We foster a culture of continuous improvement, personal growth, and teamwork—empowering you to excel every day!

Pay: From $35.00 per hour

Benefits:

Have you worked in medical device, aerospace, or another high-precision manufacturing environment?
Can you read and interpret GD&T and engineering blueprints?

Experience:

complete set up : 7 years (Required)

Shift availability:
