Job Description

Advanced 5‑Axis CNC Programmer–Machinist (Anaheim, CA)A day in this role

You arrive at our Anaheim shop and power up a 5‑axis machining center. After loading tools and setting fixtures, you review the print and CAD model, validate your program, and run a careful dry pass. Using precision gauges, you check the first article, fine‑tune offsets, and polish the G‑code where needed. As the production cycle runs, you watch the process closely, make smart adjustments to hold tight tolerances, and document what works so the next run is even better. When an alarm pops, you troubleshoot quickly, perform routine maintenance, and keep things moving. You wrap the day sharing ideas with engineers and teammates, and return the cell spotless and safe for the next shift.

What you’ll handle

• Set up and operate 5‑axis CNC equipment to manufacture complex components to specification.
• Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and CAD models to plan setups and toolpaths.
• Program and edit using G‑code and related machine languages as needed.
• Perform routine maintenance and diagnose issues to keep machines performing at their best.
• Monitor production, measure parts, and adjust processes to uphold quality standards.
• Partner with engineers and peers to refine machining methods and increase throughput.
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation and strictly follow safety procedures.
