5-Axis CNC Machinist / Programmer – Day Shift (Hermle / DMG / Fusion 360)

At a Glance Company: Surface Engineering Location: Sunnyvale, CA Job Type: Full-Time Pay Range: $50 per hour (based on experience) Shift: 1st Shift | Monday–Friday | 7:00am–4:00pm (some flexibility available) Overtime: Available Experience Level: Senior Level | 5 years of experience Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. Apply Link: Apply directly through hireCNC Why This Role Exists Surface Engineering is expanding its internal machining capabilities and continuing to invest heavily in advanced equipment and complex manufacturing work. Historically known for ultra-high precision finishing and motion system components used in semiconductor equipment, the company has increased its in-house machining capacity to support growth and greater manufacturing control. As part of that expansion, Surface Engineering is looking for an experienced 5-axis CNC Machinist / Programmer who can take ownership of highly complex work involving challenging geometries, precision fixturing, and multi-axis machining strategies. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys difficult parts, solving machining problems, and programming setups that require creativity—not repetitive production work. The Work You’ll Be Doing In this role, you will: Program, set up, and machine complex 5-axis components Create machining strategies for high-precision parts with demanding geometries Establish workholding and fixturing approaches that minimize part deformation Program and optimize toolpaths using CAM software Set tooling, offsets, and machine parameters Perform first-article and in-process inspection Work closely with engineering and quality teams Troubleshoot machining issues and continuously improve processes Many parts involve highly complex geometries with hundreds of features and extremely demanding tolerances. Surface Engineering builds precision motion system components used in semiconductor manufacturing environments. Machines, Controls & Software You'll work with equipment such as: Machines: Hermle C600U DMG DMU 100 Micro Precision Additional advanced 5-axis platforms as equipment expands Controls: Heidenhain TNC TNC 7 environment expanding in the future CAM Software: Fusion 360 Open to machinists from other CAM backgrounds willing to learn Fusion Inspection Equipment: Advanced metrology equipment Strong quality support systems Precision inspection resources Materials You'll Work With Aluminum (~75%) Titanium Stainless steel Precision tooling materials including diamond tooling applications What We're Looking ForRequired: 5 years of CNC machining experience Strong experience setting up and programming complex 5-axis work Strong understanding of GD&T Ability to fixture parts while minimizing distortion and deformation Strong blueprint interpretation skills Experience with advanced setup work and process ownership Comfortable troubleshooting machining issues independently Strong communication and team mindset Preferred (Not Required): Hermle experience DMG experience Heidenhain control experience TNC 7 familiarity Fusion 360 experience Semiconductor, aerospace, medical, or precision manufacturing background Why Machinists Like Working Here Machinists choose Surface Engineering because: Average employee tenure is approximately 7 years with some employees there over 30 years Temperature-controlled facility Stable repeat production environment—not a traditional high-mix job shop Opportunity to work on extremely technical and challenging parts Advanced equipment rarely found elsewhere Strong quality department and support team Weekly pay Profit sharing and performance bonuses Pay, Benefits & Schedule Pay Range: $50/hr DOE Bonus Structure: Up to 10% annual bonus potential Two bonus opportunities annually of up to 5% each Benefits: Medical insurance (85% employee premium covered) Dependent coverage assistance 401(k) with up to 3% company match Profit sharing Weekly pay PTO 10 vacation days 5 sick days 10 paid holidays PTO growth tied to experience and tenure Schedule: Monday–Friday 7:00am–4:00pm Flexible start times available Overtime available Apply Interested machinists can apply directly through hireCNC.
