About the Role
AFP/Schivo in Berlin CT is seeking an experienced, highly motivated, and self-sufficient CNC Setup Machinist / Operator to join our second-shift manufacturing team. The ideal candidate must be capable of independently setting up, operating, adjusting, and troubleshooting CNC machining equipment while maintaining high standards of precision, quality, and productivity. This is not an entry-level position; we seek a hands-on machinist who understands machining processes, can interpret technical drawings, modify G-code, and resolve production issues with minimal supervision.
Responsibilities
- Independently set up and operate CNC machining centers.
- Perform machine changeovers, including tooling, fixtures, work offsets, and program selection.
- Establish and verify tool offsets, work coordinates, cutting parameters, and setup conditions.
- Conduct first-piece inspections and make necessary adjustments before production.
- Maintain consistent production output while meeting quality and dimensional requirements.
- Read, understand, and make necessary modifications to CNC G-code and M-code programs.
- Adjust feeds, speeds, tool paths, offsets, and machining parameters to optimize performance.
- Troubleshoot machining problems, dimensional inconsistencies, tool wear, and machine alarms.
- Identify root causes of machining issues and implement corrective actions.
- Recognize when a problem requires maintenance or engineering support and communicate it effectively.
- Read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T requirements.
- Perform dimensional inspections using micrometers, calipers, indicators, and other precision measuring equipment.
- Verify parts meet specifications throughout the production process.
- Identify and correct quality issues before they result in scrap or production delays.
- Maintain accurate production and inspection records.
- Work independently with minimal supervision.
- Prioritize assigned production jobs and manage machine utilization.
- Make sound technical decisions to maintain production efficiency.
- Communicate production status, machine issues, and completed work to the next shift.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe working environment.
- Follow established manufacturing procedures and safety requirements.
Requirements
- Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on CNC machining experience, preferably including independent setup responsibilities.
- Proven ability to independently set up and operate CNC milling equipment.
- Working knowledge of CNC G-code and M-code, including the ability to make program edits.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting capabilities.
- Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and dimensional tolerances.
- Experience selecting and changing cutting tools, adjusting offsets, and optimizing machining parameters.
- Proficiency using precision measuring and inspection equipment.
- Ability to work independently and make decisions without constant supervision.
- Strong attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to producing quality parts.
- Willingness and ability to work second shift.
- Experience with 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis CNC machining centers.
- Familiarity with Fanuc, Haas, or similar CNC controls.
- Experience machining engineering polymers such as PEEK, ULTEM, acetal, or other precision materials.
- Experience manufacturing close-tolerance components for medical devices, life-science instrumentation, or industrial applications.
- Familiarity with CAD/CAM software.
- Experience improving machining processes, reducing cycle times, and minimizing scrap.
- Must be capable of receiving a production assignment, independently setting up the CNC equipment, verifying the machining process, producing conforming components, and resolving routine machining problems without requiring direct oversight.
- No sponsorship to work in the United States.
