Employer job description

From Laborup's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.

Overview

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in Cedar City, UT.

The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them.

Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required.

Why Join Us

Own the whole part: Print through final inspection stays with one machinist.

Prototype variety: New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production.

Engineer access: Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes.

Compensation

Base pay: Market competitive and hourly — open to discussion. Tell us what you need.

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

Monday - Friday

Requirements

Responsibilities

Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
Prove-Out: Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run.
Print Interpretation: Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models.
Workholding: Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance.
Program Edits: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool comp at the control.
Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
Design Feedback: Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability.
ERP Entry: Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system.
