Senior Machinist – Machinist III 4-Axis 3D PAYCOR

4Axis CNC Machining Complex 3D Work Mastercam / CAM Programming Renishaw Probing

Location: Elk Grove CA
Job Type: FullTime OnSite
Pay Range: $40.00 $48.00 per hour (DOE)
Primary Machine: Doosan NHP 8000 Horizontal Machining Center 4Axis (BAxis Rotary) Pallet Changer

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING (Important)

This is not a production operator role and not a run existing programs position.

If your experience is primarily:

• CNC operation without programming responsibility
• 3axis VMC work only
• Highvolume or repetitive production machining

This position is not a fit.

This role is for a Senior Machinist (Machinist III) who can program set up and machine complex 3D parts on a 4axis horizontal machining center and who has handson experience with Renishaw probing including creating and modifying probing routines and subroutines/macros.

Applicants without CAM programming 4axis experience probing capability will be screened out.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled 4Axis CNC Programmer/Machinist to support complex highvalue machining work requiring strong process ownership advanced setup strategy and inprocess probing/verification.

This role is centered on a Doosan NHP 8000 horizontal machining center with pallet changing and a Baxis rotary table. The successful candidate will own jobs endtoend CAM programming fixturing setup probing machining inspection optimization in a custom nonproduction environment.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE (NonNegotiable)

Your resume must clearly demonstrate most of the following:

CNC Programming (Required)

• Mastercam (preferred) or comparable CAM software (NX Fusion PowerMill etc.)
• Creation and optimization of 3D toolpaths for complex geometry
• Experience programming 4axis machining using Baxis rotation
• Ability to post prove out and safely run new programs
• Solid understanding of work offsets tool control and collision avoidance

4Axis / Complex 3D Machining (Required)

• Handson experience machining complex 3D parts on horizontal machining centers
• Effective use of 4axis positioning (Baxis) to access multiple faces and reduce setups
• Ability to hold tight tolerances and produce highquality surface finishes
• Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T

Renishaw Probing Routine Programming (Required)

• Handson use of Renishaw probing systems for:
• part pickup and alignment
• work offset setting and updating
• bore/boss location verification
• inprocess inspection and verification checks
• Ability to create and edit probing routines
• Experience writing or modifying probe subroutines/macros to improve repeatability and reduce setup time

Workholding & Process Ownership (Required)

• Experience designing and building custom fixtures
• Comfortable owning jobs independently from programming through completion
• Horizontal machining experience strongly preferred
• Experience using palletchanging machines a plus

If your resume does not clearly show CAM programming 4axis machining and Renishaw probing experience please do not apply.

Key Responsibilities

CNC Programming & 4Axis Machining

• Program and optimize parts using Mastercam or equivalent CAM software
• Machine complex parts using 4axis positioning on a horizontal machining center
• Develop efficient machining strategies to reduce setups and improve accuracy
• Prove out programs and optimize feeds speeds and toolpaths
• Generate tooling strategies appropriate for complex geometry

Renishaw Probing & Automation

• Use Renishaw probing for setup alignment and verification
• Write and modify probing routines and subroutines/macros for:
• automated setup routines
• work offset updates
• feature verification and inspection checkpoints
• Adjust machining strategy based on probing and inspection results

Fixturing & Setup Strategy

• Design and build fixtures for rigidity accuracy and repeatability
• Plan setups to minimize part handling and eliminate secondary operations
• Manage deflection distortion and access challenges through smart workholding

Troubleshooting & Optimization

• Diagnose and correct chatter surface finish issues tool wear and alignment problems
• Modify programs and processes based on inspection data
• Improve repeatability firstarticle success and cycle efficiency

SeniorLevel Expectations

• Serve as a technical resource for CNC machining and probing practices
• Support continuous improvement in CAM workflows and shop standards
• Provide input on tooling and cutter selection for upcoming work

Compensation (IndeedOptimized)

Pay Range: $40.00 $48.00 per hour (DOE)

Final hourly rate is based on demonstrated:

• CAM programming depth
• 4axis machining experience
• Renishaw probing and routine/subroutine proficiency
• Ability to independently manage complex jobs

How to Apply (Required Resume Details)

To be considered your resume must clearly include:

• CAM software used (Mastercam or equivalent)
• Description of 4axis machining experience
• Examples of complex 3D parts youve programmed and machined
• Renishaw probing experience and what it was used for
• Whether youve written or edited probe routines/subroutines/macros
• Machine types operated (horizontal machining centers preferred)

Optional Candidate Note

This role is ideal for experienced machinists who enjoy highskill complex work and prefer programming probing and process ownership over highvolume production.

If you want next I can:

• Update the Indeed knockout questions specifically for 4axis probing
• Align this role cleanly against your other Machinist III (HBM) position
• Build a Machinist IIIIII ladder that clearly separates skill tiers
