Job Description
Who We Are:
PartsBadger is changing the way companies source custom manufactured parts by blending technology with manufacturing. We run a clean, climate-controlled, modern shop — new Haas VMC mills, robotic automation, organized layout. No dim lighting, no dirt floors, no equipment that breaks down more than it runs. We've been named a Future 50 winner four years running, ranked #23 in U.S. Manufacturing by Inc. 5000, and recognized as Ozaukee County Business of the Year. But what we're most proud of is the team we've built — people who take ownership and want to grow.
The Role:
This is a structured entry-level position for someone new to CNC machining or making a transition into an automated cell environment. You don't need to know everything on day one — that's the point. You'll train on Haas VMC mill operation, robotic arm cell workflows, and PartsBadger quality standards under the guidance of experienced operators. Advancement from Trainee to Operator I is expected within a defined training window as you demonstrate competency. The path forward is clear, and we invest in people who show up ready to learn.
What You'll Do:- Day-to-DayOperate Haas VMC mills under direct supervision in an 8-machine automated cell
- Learn part load/unload procedures working alongside Universal Robots arms
- Perform cutting, cleaning, and deburring operations to quality standards
- Complete inspection paperwork and job traveler documentation accurately
- Keep your workspace clean and organized — we take the shop environment seriously
- Develop basic troubleshooting skills with support from your Lead and team
What We're Looking For:- Attention to detail and a genuine commitment to doing things right
- Comfortable using hand tools and calipers
- Able to prioritize and manage time in a fast-moving environment
- Reliable — you show up, and you follow through
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Nice to Have:- (Not Required)
- Any prior exposure to CNC machining or manufacturing environments
- Basic blueprint reading or GD&T knowledge
- Familiarity with machining industry tooling
- Why PartsBadger?
- Clear growth track — Trainee → Operator I → Operator II → Specialist, with defined milestones
- Modern equipment and a clean, organized shop environment
- Relaxed, casual culture with a team that holds itself accountable
- Real opportunity to advance as far and as fast as your skills take you
