CNC MACHINIST, 5-AXIS (2ND SHIFT)
Freeform is deploying software-defined, autonomous metal 3D printing factories around the world, bringing the scalability of software to physical production. Our proprietary technology stack leverages advanced sensing, real-time controls, and data-driven learning to produce digitally-verified, flawless parts at unprecedented speed and cost. Our mission is to make the transformative power of 3D printing available to all industries at scale and unlock the future of innovation.
As a CNC Machinist (5-Axis), you will work with our engineering and manufacturing team to scale Freeform’s high-volume, vertically integrated machining operation. You will run the best-in-class multi-axis machines including DMG Mori and Haas to develop complex parts for our 3D printing factories as well as post-process metal 3D printed parts for our customers. You will also have the opportunity to develop CNC programming skills and advance in your career as a machinist. The right candidate for this role will be team-oriented and have a positive attitude with a “no job too big or small” mentality. If you enjoy hands-on work in a fast-paced development environment and are excited about creating cutting edge technology, we'd love to hear from you!
3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative individuals who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
Responsibilities:
Set-up, run, and operate programs on CNC machines (DMG Mori and Haas) for complex parts.
Complete machining operations from blueprints, drawings and/or schematics under tight tolerances.
Perform on-machine deburr as well as manual deburr as needed.
Inspect parts with on-machine probing as well as with manual tools such as micrometers, thread gauges, and indicators.
Perform machine preventative maintenance and manage cutting fluid.
Take part in process improvement projects and help in constantly improving processes and the shop.
Basic Qualifications:
5+ years of experience in set-up and operation of CNC machines
Experience machining aluminum, stainless, titanium, or Inconel
Experience with 5-axis machining
Experience reading blueprints, part drawings, and schematics
Preferred Skills and Experience:
8+ years of experience
Experience with Siemens controls
Experience with DMG Mori machines
CNC programming experience
Experience machining metal 3D printed parts
Experience designing, setting up, and working with complex fixtures for precision machining of high-tolerance parts
NTMA machinist certification
Experience with precision measuring instruments
Ability to utilize power tools, hand tools, cranes, forklifts, and other heavy equipment
Ability to lift and/or move up to 30lbs unassisted
Ability to climb ladders and be on your feet for extended periods of time
Must be available and willing to work overtime when needed
Location:
We are located in Hawthorne, CA in a 35,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high growth startups and enterprises.
Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close collaboration, and as such, this role requires full-time onsite presence (five days a week), with very limited exceptions.

We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology.
