Full Job Description

Modus Advanced, Inc.

Location: Livermore, CA

Pay: $33-36/hour depending on experience

Shift:

Shift A: M-Th, 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Position Overview

Join the Modus Advanced team as a CNC Machinist and take ownership of setting up and running previously programmed jobs. In this role, you'll bridge the gap between programming and production—taking jobs that have already been programmed and proven, building up the tooling, and getting machines running to produce quality parts.

At Modus Advanced, one day matters. The precision components you'll produce often go into applications where reliability isn't just about performance—it's about protecting and saving lives. Your technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and commitment to quality will directly impact our ability to deliver excellence to our customers.

What Success Looks Like

A successful CNC Machinist can take a previously programmed job, build up the tooling, get the machine running, and start producing quality parts—without needing a senior machinist or programmer to hold their hand. You can solve the simple problems that come up during production (typically 5-30 minute fixes) and know when something bigger requires escalation.

The key differentiator from an Operator: you don't just run machines—you set them up. You load tools, set tool offsets, mount fixturing, and set fixture offsets. When an operator identifies a problem, you're the one they come to for solutions.

Key ResponsibilitiesMachine Setup and Operation

Set up and operate CNC machines including VMCs, HMCs, and 5-axis machining centers
Load tools and set tool offsets for production runs
Mount fixturing and set fixture offsets
Take previously programmed jobs from setup through production
Select appropriate tooling, speeds, and feeds based on work instructions
Perform complex setups requiring multiple fixtures and work holding strategies

Problem Solving and Quality Control

Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment
Tweak offsets to bring parts into conformance when tolerances drift
Solve simple machining problems (5-30 minute fixes)
Maintain feedback loop with quality department
Ensure parts are inspected before sending to QC
Document inspection results and maintain quality records

Process Documentation

Interpret engineering drawings, work instructions, and router information
Maintain accurate job traveler information and production records
Develop and document processes for repeatable production
Support continuous improvement initiatives

Required QualificationsEducation and Experience

Certificate or Associate's degree in Machine Shop Technology, Manufacturing Technology, or equivalent experience
3-6 years of hands-on CNC machining experience
Experience with aerospace, defense, or medical device manufacturing preferred
Ability to read, write, comprehend, and communicate in English

Technical Skills

Proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings with GD&T
Experience with CNC machine setup: loading tools, setting offsets, mounting fixturing
Ability to make offset adjustments to bring parts into conformance
Experience with multiple CNC machine types (VMC, HMC, 5-axis preferred)
Proficiency with precision measuring instruments
Familiarity with quality management systems (AS9100/ISO 9001 environment preferred)
CAD/CAM software experience noted but not required at this level

Important Note on Experience

We're looking for candidates with CNC machining experience, not manual machining. Manual machinist experience without CNC exposure is generally not applicable for this role. If you have extensive manual machining experience but limited CNC experience, you may be better suited for an Operator position to start.

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand for extended periods during machine operation
Manual dexterity for handling precision components and tools
Excellent eyesight (correction allowable) for detailed inspection work
Ability to lift and move materials up to 50 lbs as required for production

What We OfferComprehensive Benefits Package

Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan with company matching
Paid time off and holiday pay
Professional development opportunities
Tuition reimbursement program

Growth Opportunities

At Modus, your career path is clear. Advancement to Senior CNC Machinist is available for those who develop advanced troubleshooting skills and equipment expertise. For those who demonstrate aptitude and interest, we offer a structured programmer training program that can take you from Machinist to Programmer. Cross-training opportunities, mentorship from experienced team members, and access to advanced CNC training help you develop your skills.

Work Environment

State-of-the-art machining center equipped with modern Okuma CNC equipment, including VMCs, HMCs, and 5-axis machines. Climate-controlled manufacturing environment that prioritizes safety and collaboration, with direct access to our engineering team for technical support on challenging projects.

Our Commitment to Excellence

At Modus Advanced, we maintain the highest standards of quality and precision. Our AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications reflect our commitment to excellence in everything we do. As a CNC Machinist, you'll be a key contributor to maintaining these standards while supporting our customers' critical missions in aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturing.

We're looking for team members who understand that in our world, precision isn't just about meeting specifications—it's about enabling innovations that save and protect lives.

Ready to join our team? Apply today and become part of a company that's accelerating tomorrow's innovations.
