  Why This Role Exists

  Bay Cast is growing and adding multiple CNC Setup Machinists to support increasing demand across aerospace, defense, and large-format machining programs.

  This isn't repetitive production work. Bay Cast operates in a true high-mix machining environment where nearly every job is different. You'll help machine oversized, complex components-including rocket-related tooling and large structural parts-for customers that include major names in aerospace.

  If you're a setup machinist who enjoys problem solving and wants work that stays interesting, this shop was built for it.

  The Work You'll Be Doing

  In this role, you will:

  Set up and operate CNC mills or lathes in a high-mix environment Perform 1-2 setups per shift Load programs and make edits at the machine as needed Select tooling, set offsets, and verify setups Read blueprints and inspect completed work Troubleshoot machining issues and adjust offsets, tooling, feeds, and speeds Work closely with programmers and other machinists to improve efficiency Safely handle large-format workpieces using overhead lifting equipment

  Unlike production environments, you'll typically focus on one machine and one project at a time.

  Machines, Controls & Software

  You'll work with equipment including:

  Machines:

  Hyundai Wia Mills Reco Mills Faro Lathes Large-format CNC machining equipment

  Controls:

  Fanuc

  Software:

  Mastercam

  Materials & Parts You'll Work With

  You'll machine large-format and complex components used across:

  Aerospace Defense Civil engineering applications Rocket tooling and oversized structures

  Part sizes regularly include:

  Mills: 3' x 10' and larger
  Lathes: 6-8 ft diameter parts

  What We're Looking ForRequired:

  Experience as a CNC Setup Machinist Strong understanding of setups, tooling, offsets, and troubleshooting Ability to read blueprints Experience running mills or lathes Comfortable working in a high-mix job shop environment Reliable and safety-minded

  Preferred (Not Required):

  Fanuc experience Mastercam exposure Large-part machining experience Overhead crane experience Aerospace or defense manufacturing background

  Bay Cast is open to machinists coming from either mill or lathe backgrounds and can train on specific equipment.

  What matters most: true setup experience-not button pushing.

  Machinists choose Bay Cast because:

  Nearly every job is different Work on large-format aerospace and defense projects Opportunity to support programs tied to companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin One machine at a time-not bouncing between multiple cells Growth-driven hiring with long-term opportunity Modern equipment and Mastercam programming support Flexible PTO negotiation for top talent
