Set up, operate, and fine-tune Swiss CNC screw machines producing precision titanium jewelry components. Load bar stock, configure machines, monitor production cycles, inspect parts with precision measuring tools, adjust offsets, and maintain tight micron-level tolerances while minimizing scrap.
We're not your typical machine shop.
At NeoMetal, we've been doing things our own way since 1997 — a little nerdy, a lot precise, and never boring. We manufacture the highest quality threadless jewelry in the piercing industry, and it all starts on our shop floor. If you love the challenge of holding tolerances measured in microns and want your work to be part of something people wear every day, we want to talk to you.
The Role
We're looking for a Swiss CNC Machinist who takes pride in tight tolerances and clean setups. You'll run and fine-tune Swiss screw machines producing titanium components so small that precision isn't optional — it's the whole job. If you get satisfaction from a part that measures dead-on and a machine that's dialed in just right, this is your kind of work.
Sign-on bonus up to $1,000 for qualified candidates!
What You'll Do
- Set up and operate Swiss CNC screw machines to produce titanium jewelry components to spec
- Load raw titanium bar stock and configure machines for efficient, high-quality production runs
- Monitor cycles closely, catching issues before they become scrap
- Inspect parts in-process using micrometers, calipers, and precision gauges
- Dial in offsets and adjustments to keep dimensions spot-on, run after run
- Take ownership of your machine and your output — quality starts with you
What You Bring
- High school diploma or GED
- 1–3 years of CNC machining experience — Swiss/screw machine experience a strong plus
- Comfort working with titanium or other precision metals
- Ability to read blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions
- A working knowledge of CNC concepts, tooling, and setup
- Sharp attention to detail — we're talking microns, not millimeters
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment
Qualifications
Experience:
- Machining: 5 years (Required)

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
