Job Description

R&D Machinist / CNC Operator

Sydney | Full-time | Onsite

The Mission

Bring 5-axis CNC in-house and become the person who turns small, awkward, high-tolerance robot parts into fast R&D iteration. 

The Challenge

Programming, setting and operating a 5-axis CNC for small, complex metal prototype parts.

Solving workholding, jigging, soft-jaw and fixture problems for parts that are difficult by nature:

• Making *tiny* gears, compact components, assembly aids and test fixtures that speed up hardware development
• Working with aluminium, stainless steel, brass and other prototype metals where fidelity matters
• Feeding practical DFM advice back to engineers before awkward geometry becomes a recurring problem
• Supporting module builds, gearbox work and hands-on integration where machining meets mechatronics
