About RivCut

RivCut is a precision CNC machining startup based in Union City, CA. We specialize in high-accuracy milling, turning, and prototyping for clients in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, and automotive industries.

Our mission is to combine startup agility with manufacturing precision — offering quick turnarounds, transparent communication, and dependable quality at every stage. We work with complex parts, fine finishes, and a wide range of materials from aluminum and stainless steel to advanced plastics.

As we grow, we're building a team of craftsmen, problem solvers, and builders who take pride in making parts that truly matter.

Position Overview

We're looking for a CNC Machinist who can take ownership of projects from setup to inspection. You'll work directly with the founder and small team to produce high-quality prototype and low-volume production parts.

This is a hands-on role with real impact — your input will shape our workflows, quality standards, and company culture as we scale.

Responsibilities

  • Set up, program (at the machine or CAM), and operate CNC mills and lathes.
  • Read and interpret blueprints, CAD models, and GD&T drawings.
  • Inspect and verify dimensions using precision measuring tools.
  • Optimize toolpaths, feeds / speeds, and setups for efficiency and finish.
  • Collaborate on process improvements, fixturing, and workflow standardization.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-first work environment.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience as a CNC Machinist (setup, operation, and light programming).
  • Strong understanding of G-code, tool selection, and work offsets.
  • Experience with Mastercam, or similar CAM software preferred.
  • Comfortable with both prototyping and short-run production.
  • Passion for precision, problem-solving, and continuous learning.

    • What We Offer

  • Competitive pay based on experience.
  • Flexible schedule and collaborative environment.
  • Expanding capabilities.
  • A culture built on trust, craftsmanship and innovation.
