AirBoss is actively hiring a CNC Programmer / Machinist to support its tooling department in Auburn Hills, MI. This role supports both mold repair work and new mold manufacturing inside a busy rubber injection molding environment.

---

Why This Role Exists

This role exists because AirBoss continues to expand tooling department capabilities supporting both ongoing mold repair work and new mold introduction. The tooling team plays a critical role in keeping production running while also supporting new manufacturing initiatives.

This is a hands-on position where you will own the full machining process — from programming through setup, operation, inspection, and troubleshooting. The shop is looking for machinists who enjoy problem-solving, varied work, and taking ownership of their jobs rather than simply loading production parts all day.

In this role, you will:

• Create and edit CNC programs using Fusion 360
• Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes

• Perform inspection using calipers, micrometers, and precision measuring tools
• Utilize new Creaform scanning technology as part of the inspection and repair workflow
• Support both mold repair work and occasional new mold builds
