Highly Successful well funded Energy Startup and are recognised as one of the key players within the Sythentic Fuel Industry are looking for an CNC Machinist.
- Work directly with engineers to understand drawings and decide the best way to manufacture each part
- Programme parts in CAM software (Fusion 360), then set up and run 3-axis CNC mills and lathes start to finish
- Machine stainless steel and aluminium components — bespoke one-off R&D parts through to repeat batches of 50–100
- Help scale production as the company moves from one system a quarter, to one a month, to one a week over the next year
- Deliver finished, inspected parts where they are needed, and help assemble complex R&D equipment
- 3–4+ years of professional machining experience, though attitude and ability count for more than the number
- A formal qualification in machining or engineering eg Degree
- Confident setting up and operating CNC mills and lathes (Hurco WinMax a plus, 3-axis is plenty)
- CAM programming, setup and execution in Fusion 360
- Comfortable across varied materials and varied parts — tubing, valves, stainless, aluminium, alloy steels, plastics
- High agency. You work quickly with very little supervision, and you are motivated by the energy transition and by building genuinely difficult hardware
- Mission-driven hardware companies under ~500 people that machine their own parts in-house, fusion, space, defence or deep-tech startups, not subcontract shops or large aerospace and automotive production lines.
Nice to have: experience running series batches alongside R&D one-offs, manual mill and lathe skills, and a history of building things for the fun of it.
