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

Inspection Equipment:

- Standard precision inspection tools

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 largerLathes: 6-8 ft diameter parts

What We're Looking ForRequired:

- Experience as a CNC Setup Machinist

- Strong understanding of setups, tooling, offsets, and troubleshooting

- 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.

- Opportunity to support programs tied to companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin

- One machine at a time-not bouncing between multiple cells

- Modern equipment and Mastercam programming support

- Flexible PTO negotiation for top talent

Pay, Benefits & SchedulePay:

$1,045 - $1,830/wk minimum (DOE)

- Up to 72 hours accrued during Year 1

- Increases to 80 hours after Year 2
