ASSOCIATE CNC MACHINIST (MILL)
Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits.
As an Associate CNC Machinist, you’ll play a key role in Freeform’s machining and post-processing operations. You’ll work with advanced multi-axis CNC machines that transform 3D-printed metal parts into precision-finished aerospace-grade components, helping bridge the gap between 3D printing and final production. You’ll gain hands-on experience operating CNCs, mills, and lathes, making basic program edits, setting up jobs, and inspecting parts.
What you'd do
- Operate and support CNC machining, including setup, basic programming edits, tool changes, and part inspection
- Use manual machining tools such as mills, lathes, bandsaws, and grinders to support part finishing and fixture creation
- Learn and apply precision measurement techniques to verify part quality and tolerances
- Support maintenance and troubleshooting of CNC machines and shop equipment (air compressors, chillers, inert gas systems, etc.)
- Contribute to shop organization and process improvements, helping build a high-functioning R&D machine shop
What they want
- 1+ years of experience of CNC operation OR completion of formal technical training (e.g., NTMA, community college machining program, or similar)
