Machinist/Programmer

About the Role

As a Machinist at Fuse, you're focused on production: taking drawings from engineering and turning them into parts, fast, right, and efficiently.

You'll work on a mix of standardized TITAN components and rapid one-offs with tight timelines, operating manual and CNC mills and lathes, writing and optimizing CAM programs, and verifying dimensions to hit tolerances consistently.

Core Responsibilities

• Operate manual and CNC mills and lathes: set up, program, and run jobs from engineering drawings with precision and speed.
• Write and edit CAM programs using Fusion CAD/CAM, NX CAM, or equivalent.
• Select tooling and setups based on part geometry, material, and tolerances.
• Work with materials including stainless steel, PMMA, composites, tungsten alloys, and others.
• Inspect finished parts against engineering drawings and GD&T requirements and communicate issues to engineering.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED plus 1+ years of professional CNC machining experience, or equivalent education and hands-on shop experience.
• Proficiency with 3-axis or higher CNC and manual mills and/or lathes.
• Ability to read and write CAM code using Fusion CAD/CAM, NX CAM, or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and precision measurement.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional CNC machining experience.
• Experience with 5-axis mills or multi-axis machines.
• Familiarity with Haas machines.
• CMM programming experience using ZEISS CALYPSO.

What We Value

• Give a shit. Build things you're proud of.
• Take responsibility. If something is broken and you can fix it, fix it. See things through.
• Move fast. Make decisions, learn quickly, and keep moving forward.

• Desire to win. This is hard. Expect intensity. We are here to win.
• Plan B is to make Plan A work.

Physical Requirements

• Able to stand or sit for extended periods during machine operation.
• Able to lift and carry items up to 25 pounds regularly and occasionally up to 50 pounds.
• Consistent use of required PPE, including eye, hearing, hand, and foot protection.
• Understanding and adherence to lockout/tagout procedures and safe machine operation.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Relocation assistance for roles that require it.
• Flexible time off. Take what you need, no accrual tracking.
• 2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year, subject to team and business needs.
