Role Title: CNC Machinist Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging CNC Machinists to contribute expertise to a customer’s project focused on advanced part production and process optimization. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This engagement centers on operating and setting up both hobbyist (e.g., Makera Carvera) and industrial (e.g., Haas VF-2) CNC machines, interpreting engineering documentation, and troubleshooting across a range of materials and geometries. Contributors will provide input on machining processes, best practices, and issue resolution, ensuring high standards of quality and consistency throughout the project. Scope of Work Set up and operate CNC machines across multiple platforms, including desktop and industrial models Load and verify CNC programs, install tooling, configure work-holding, and set work offsets for various projects Run first-piece cycles, inspect machined parts against drawings, and adjust setups to ensure dimensional accuracy Perform routine machine maintenance and diagnose issues such as tool wear, chatter, or dimensional drift Utilize precision measurement instruments (calipers, micrometers, indicators, CMM) to validate parts and ensure compliance with specifications Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and manufacturing documentation to guide part production Collaborate and provide feedback to CAM programmers and other stakeholders on setup optimization and manufacturability Preferred Qualifications 5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience, including both setup and production Expertise operating Haas control systems (VF-2 or similar platforms) required Familiarity with hobbyist/desktop CNC platforms (such as Makera Carvera) strongly preferred Proven proficiency in blueprint reading, GD&T interpretation, and use of advanced measurement tools Experience working with a range of materials, including both metals and plastics Outstanding written and verbal English communication skills for clear documentation and feedback Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot machining processes, optimize setups, and maintain a safe, organized workspace
