Job description

Air-Lake Machine & Manufacturing

Lakeville, MN • Full-time • $32–$38/hr DOE • First Shift

The Schedule

• Monday–Thursday, 6:00 am–3:30 pm. Friday, 6:00 am–10:00 am.
• You get a long weekend every week — that's not a typo. We run a 4.5-day week as standard.

What You'll Be Doing

We're a precision job shop specializing in low-volume, high-mix custom machining. That means no running the same part day after day. You'll be setting up and running a variety of jobs — repairs, new builds, close-tolerance work — across a full Haas CNC lineup:

• Haas VF2, VF3 (SSYT 40-taper), VF3 YT, and VF6 (50-taper) vertical mills.
• Haas ST30 turning centers — both chuck and collet chuck with live tooling.
• GibbsCAM for programming.

You’ll read blueprints, set up your own jobs, select tooling, and hold tight tolerances. If you're the kind of machinist who likes to own a job from first cut to finished part, this is the environment for you.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of CNC machining experience — setup and operation, not just button-pushing.
• Haas experience strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and GD&T.
• Experience with both milling and turning is a plus.
