CNC Operator Job Posting for Lynx 2600/Milling
CNC Operator / Process Technician (Fusion 360)
Monday – Friday 7:00 am – 3:30 pm
Compensation: $28 – $35 DOE
MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE
Location: Bend
Full-Time • Growth Opportunity • Direct Access to Upper Management
Summary
We are looking for a CNC Operator / Process Technician who wants more than just machine-tending. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on machining but also wants to grow in process development, modeling, programming, and continuous improvement. You will work directly with upper management and have the opportunity to help shape how our machining department expands.
Our parts are not complex, and the DN Solutions Lynx 2600 does not run full-time, which leaves significant time for Fusion 360 modeling, updating old 2D drawings into 3D models, and developing programs for new projects. If you are looking for upward mobility, a stable company, and a chance to grow with the business, this is the ideal position.
Key Responsibilities
CNC Machine Operation
• Set up, operate, and maintain the DN Solutions (Doosan) Lynx 2600 lathe with live-tool milling.
• Load material, set tooling, adjust offsets, and verify programs.
• Run first-article inspections and ensure parts meet print specifications.
• Machine parts that are simple, repeatable, and stable—ideal for anyone wanting to grow beyond basic machining.
Modeling, Programming & NC File Creation (Fusion 360)
• Use Fusion 360 to model legacy 2D parts into accurate 3D CAD files.
• Create and verify CAM toolpaths for turning and milling operations.
• Generate and manage NC programs, including simulations and toolpath validation.
• Assist with fixture design, tool selection, and process improvement.
Process Development
• Build and maintain setup documents, revision notes, and tooling instructions.
• Improve cycle times, tool life, and workflow efficiency.
March 09, 2026
• Participate in meetings with upper management related to productivity, process upgrades, and future equipment planning.
• Support new project development and contribute ideas for expanding the machine shop’s capabilities.
Why This Position Is Different
Upward Mobility
This role is designed for long-term growth. As the company expands its machining capabilities, this position will expand with it—potential to move into:
• Lead Machinist
• Process Engineer
• Manufacturing Technician
• CNC Programmer
• Shop Supervisor
Direct Collaboration With Upper Management
You will work closely with ownership and management on:
• New product development
• Improvements to machining processes
• Capital equipment decisions
• Documentation standards and workflow design
Time for CAD, CAM, and Development Work
Because the Lynx 2600 is not at full production capacity, you’ll have valuable time for:
• CAD work in Fusion 360
• Organizing and modernizing legacy parts
• Creating new processes and tooling routes
• Improving documentation and workflows
This is ideal for someone who wants to develop higher-level skills, not only run parts.
Qualifications Required
• CNC lathe operation experience (DN/Doosan experience preferred).
• Proficiency with Fusion 360 CAD/CAM.
• Ability to read blueprints and understand GD&T.
• Ability to write, edit, and troubleshoot G-code.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and desire to learn and grow.
Preferred
• Fixture design experience.
• Experience converting 2D prints to 3D CAD.
• Strong documentation and process-tracking habits.
• Desire to take on leadership responsibilities over time.
Physical Requirements
• Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Comfortable working in a machine-shop environment.
Work Environment
• Full-time position.
• Direct involvement with ownership and company leadership.
• Supportive environment that values development, innovation, and upward mobility.
• Shop and dedicated office space
