CNC Machinist: Precision for Robotic Parts & Prototypes

Weave Robotics; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Weave Robotics seeks a CNC Machinist to advance our in-house production and prototyping. You’ll take parts from CAD through CAM, set up tooling, and run production and prototype parts in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics.

You’ll directly influence tolerances and fixtures, ensuring quality and smooth workflow. You’ll manage our CAM workflows with Fusion 360 or Mastercam, run 3D printers for rapid fabrication, and contribute to a fast-paced, prototype-driven shop culture.

Qualifications

• 3+ years programming and machining your own parts on CNC mills
• CAM fluency in Fusion 360, Mastercam, or similar, with the tooling and feeds/speeds judgment to back your own programs.
• Inspection skill: confident with precision measurement and first-article discipline; you catch your own scrap before it travels.
• Prototype-shop temperament: small batches, frequent changeovers, and new parts weekly, with the setup creativity to support pace and flux.
• Pride in the work. Parts you'd sign. Degrees not required; your parts are your portfolio.

Responsibilities

• Own parts CAM to first article. Program in CAM (Fusion 360 or similar), select tooling and workholding, set up, prove out, and cut production and prototype parts in aluminum, steels, and engineering plastics.
• Hold the tolerances that matter. Read GD&T, know which callouts drive function, and inspect your own work with mics, indicators, and gauges before anyone asks.
• Run the additive side. Own our 3D printers (FDM/SLA-class): job preparation, material handling, and knowing when a part needs to be printed instead of machined.
• Keep the shop sharp. Tool library, machine maintenance schedules, stock organization, and the standards that keep the shop humming.
• Make parts easier to make. Give engineers direct DFM feedback: a fillet radius, a datum change, or a tolerance relaxation that cuts cycle time without cutting function.
