About Us Artisan Machining is a precision CNC machine shop on Long Island, making parts since 1985. Our 15-person team produces tight-tolerance components for aerospace, defense, medical, and RF/microwave customers using 3-axis and 5-axis milling, full in-house CAD/CAM, and a collaborative robot (cobot). We’re ITAR-registered and a Veteran-Owned Small Business. Because we’re small, you’ll work directly with ownership and see every part of the process, from quote to finished part.

What You’ll Do This is a hands-on role, split between the programming desk and the shop floor. It is not a desk-only design job.

Program 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills in Fusion 360

Set up machines: load programs, set tools and work offsets, install fixtures and workholding, and run first parts

Design fixtures and workholding in Fusion 360 and SolidWorks that hold parts securely and repeatably

Prove out and improve programs on the machine alongside our machinists

Help program and run our cobot, and find new ways to put it to work in the shop

Build or modify 3D models from customer prints and models in Fusion 360 and SolidWorks

Read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T

Create setup sheets, tool lists, and process documentation

Support first-article inspection and quality checks

Over time, help with quoting by estimating cycle times and manufacturability

What We’re Looking For

Completed bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field

Working knowledge of Fusion 360 and/or SolidWorks

Understanding of CNC fundamentals: feeds and speeds, tooling, setups, work offsets, and basic G-code

Ability to read blueprints and basic GD&T

Comfortable working on the shop floor, standing for long periods, and handling tooling and fixtures

Must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident), as required by ITAR

No professional experience required. Coursework, internships, co-ops, senior projects, and hands-on machining all count.

Nice to Have

Fusion 360 CAM experience from school, an internship, or personal projects

Fixture or workholding design experience

Cobot or industrial robot experience (programming, machine tending, or automation projects)

Hands-on CNC setup or operation (school labs, Formula SAE, Baja, robotics, internships, or jobs)

Any 5-axis exposure

Experience with calipers, micrometers, height gauges, or a CMM

Exposure to AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality systems

What We Offer

Real 5-axis programming and setup experience early in your career

Hands-on exposure to cobot automation

Direct mentorship from experienced machinists and ownership

A clear growth path, with a performance and pay review at 6 months tied to running jobs independently

Health insurance

Paid time off and paid holidays

401(k) retirement plan
