CNC Machinist (Remote)

$50 – $100 / hour | Remote | Contract (10 Openings)

--------------------------------

Overview:

SourceBridge Co. is engaging CNC Machinists to contribute expertise to a customer’s project focused on advanced part production and process optimization. In this role, you will apply your domain knowledge to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required—your machining domain expertise is what matters most. This engagement centers on operating and setting up both hobbyist (e.g., Makera Carvera) and industrial (e.g., Haas VF-2) CNC machines, interpreting engineering documentation, and troubleshooting across a range of materials and geometries.

 

Responsibilities:

• Set up and operate CNC machines across multiple platforms, including desktop and industrial models.
• Load and verify CNC programs, install tooling, configure work-holding, and set work offsets for various projects.
• Run first-piece cycles, inspect machined parts against drawings, and adjust setups to ensure dimensional accuracy.
• Perform routine machine maintenance and diagnose issues such as tool wear, chatter, or dimensional drift.
• Utilize precision measurement instruments (calipers, micrometers, indicators, CMM) to validate parts and ensure compliance with specifications.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and manufacturing documentation to guide part production.
• Collaborate and provide feedback to CAM programmers and technical stakeholders on setup optimization and manufacturability.

 

Requirements:

• Core expertise in machine set-up, operation, precision measurement, blueprint interpretation, and troubleshooting.
• Strong familiarity with both industrial CNC setups and desktop/hobbyist machine setups.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills for documenting setups and feedback clearly.
• Proven ability to inspect parts and maintain tight tolerances across various materials (metals and plastics).

 

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience, including both setup and production.
• Expertise operating Haas control systems (VF-2 or similar platforms) required.
• Familiarity with hobbyist/desktop CNC platforms (such as Makera Carvera) strongly preferred.
• Proven proficiency in blueprint reading, GD&T interpretation, and use of advanced measurement tools.

 

Benefits:

• Competitive hourly rate ($50–$100/hr).
• Flexible remote contractor structure.
• Unique opportunity to apply hands-on machining knowledge to advance cutting-edge AI systems.

 

Hiring Process:

 

1. Application Review: Evaluation of hands-on machining background, Haas experience, and equipment familiarity.

   Technical AI Screening: Assessment of blueprint reading, GD&T interpretation, and troubleshooting ability.

   Onboarding: Project setup and remote integration with lead technical teams.
