What You'll Run
Coastal runs four platform families:
| Platform | What it is here |
|---|---|
| CNC Lathes | Large-envelope turning, long-cycle, heavy material |
| Mill-Turns | Multi-tasking turn/mill centers — sub-spindle, live tooling, B-axis. |
| 5-Axis Mills | Simultaneous and 3+2 machining of complex geometry |
| 3/4-Axis Mills | Prismatic and rotary work |
Depth on one family matters more to us than surface familiarity with all four. Mill-Turn and 5-Axis setup experience carries a premium.
Work orders, routings, and setup documentation are managed in ProShop. Machine performance is monitored through Datanomix.
Three Levels. One Application.
**Machinist I **
Runs proven programs to a documented setup sheet. Loads and unloads, adjusts offsets, deburrs, and performs in-process inspection. You bring shop math, precision measurement (calipers, micrometers, indicators), and the discipline to follow a setup sheet exactly.
Machining school, certificate, or comparable hands-on experience.
**Machinist II **
Sets up and runs independently on at least one platform family. Works to GD&T, selects and proves tooling, establishes tool and work offsets, makes control-level corrections, and holds tolerance across a full run without support.
3+ years CNC setup and operation.
**Senior Machinist **
Sets up complex work independently across multiple platform families. Prepares and supports first articles, drives tooling and process decisions at the machine, and troubleshoots problem jobs others can't.
7+ years, with demonstrated setup experience on Mill-Turn or 5-Axis.
Required at Every Level
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
- Proficiency with precision measurement tools
- Reliable attendance on a night schedule
- Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR
Preferred
- Aerospace, defense, or oil & gas machining background
- Experience in an AS9100 or ISO 9001 environment
- GD&T interpretation per current ASME Y14.5
How We Operate
Every machinist at Coastal has the authority to stop a job on a quality concern, on any shift, without waiting for approval. We would rather lose a part than ship a bad one.
Physical Demands & Environment
Active machine shop: extended standing, lifting up to 50lbs, exposure to noise, coolant, and metal chips. Hearing and eye protection required on the floor. Steel-toe footwear required.
