Help bring new medical device products from design to production. Kelly Engineering is hiring multiple CNC professionals for a first-shift opportunity near Elmira, NY.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with engineering to review designs and provide input on CNC manufacturability.

  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) machining, including setup, programming, tooling, fixtures, process documentation, and inspection criteria.

  • Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes for prototype and low-volume production runs.

  • Perform first-article inspections and measure parts to verify quality and conformance to specifications.

  • Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and equipment issues; identify opportunities to improve efficiency, cost, and quality.

  • Support process transfers to production and help maintain and calibrate CNC equipment.

  • Follow safety and quality requirements and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

  • CNC machining experience, ideally 2–5 years; entry-level candidates may be considered.

  • Experience in programming, setup, operation, or troubleshooting. Programming experience is not required for CNC setup technician roles.

  • Ability to read engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T.

  • Familiarity with CNC mills and lathes, including 3-axis or 5-axis machines.

  • Experience with measurement tools such as calipers and micrometers; CMM experience is a plus.

  • Mastercam experience is a strong plus, as is familiarity with G-code/M-code and other CAD/CAM tools.

  • A trade or associate degree in manufacturing or machining technology is preferred; equivalent hands-on experience is welcome.

  • Manufacturing engineers with hands-on troubleshooting or failure-analysis experience, CAD/tooling designers, and CMM programmers are also encouraged to apply.
