Company Description

Prospect Anchor and Tool (PAT) is a small U.S. manufacturer of stainless steel undercut concrete anchors and the installation tools that go with them. Our anchors are used on real infrastructure and industrial jobs where you need reliable, repeatable performance in concrete, including overhead and seismic-type applications. We build everything around durability, consistency, and installability, and we take domestic compliance seriously (BABA / Buy America). Our focus is straightforward: make a product that performs in the field and back it up with solid manufacturing.

Role Summary

Have you ever wanted to run a shop floor instead of just running a machine? Maybe you're doing good work and ready for the next step, but the opportunity to move up just isn't there. At PAT, you'll lead the manufacturing side of the business and have real input on how the operation improves and scales.

Our Haas ST-20Y was previously programmed and at one point was producing our components. The engineer/machinist who built the process is no longer here. We do have setup sheets and existing programs to get you started, but we expect there are gaps that need to be tightened or reworked. We're looking for a self-starter who can hit the ground running.

We're flexible on arrangement. This can start part-time/contract (including after-hours/weekends if you're currently employed elsewhere) with a path to full-time for the right fit.

Key Responsibilities

CNC Programming and Setup

• Work with existing programs and setup documentation, and modify/improve as needed to bring production back online and stabilize the process
• Set up the Haas ST-20Y for production runs (material loading strategy, tooling selection, workholding, offsets)
• Write/modify programs using G-code and/or CAM as needed (CAM experience is a plus, not required if you can edit and improve existing code)
• Adjust machine settings (feeds/speeds, tool offsets, toolpaths) to keep the process stable and efficient

Machine Operation

• Run the Haas ST-20Y to manufacture parts based on work instructions and basic prints/specs
• Monitor the run and make practical adjustments to keep parts consistent and the machine running smoothly
• Keep the workflow efficient: avoid scrap runs, minimize downtime, and keep output predictable

Quality Checks (practical, not aerospace)

• Perform reasonable in-process checks using common measuring tools (mics/calipers/gauges as needed)
• Confirm first parts are correct, then keep the process consistent during production
• Maintain simple notes/records so the process is repeatable and doesn't depend on tribal knowledge

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

• Perform routine maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, basic checks) and keep the area organized and safe
• Troubleshoot issues with programs, tooling, or machine behavior to minimize downtime
• Coordinate outside support for more complex repairs when needed

Tool Management

• Select and install the right inserts/cutters/fixtures for each run
• Track tool wear and maintain a tool-change approach that keeps output consistent
• Keep tooling organized so setups are repeatable

Safety and Shop Standards

• Follow safe operating practices and keep a clean, organized work area
• Use PPE and basic shop safety standards

Documentation and Continuous Improvement

• Maintain basic program notes, setup notes, and what you changed (so we don't lose improvements)
• Suggest improvements to tooling, setup, sequencing, and workflow to increase efficiency and reduce headaches
• (Optional but ideal) Help prototype new parts/products from scratch as PAT grows

Experience

• CNC lathe setup experience (not just operator work)
• Haas experience strongly preferred (ST-20Y ideal; Haas lathe with Y-axis/live tooling also works)
• Comfortable troublesho ting programs/tooling and stabilizing an existing process
• Ability to read basic prints/specs and work independently
• Stainless experience (316) is a plus
• CAM experience (Mastercam/Fusion/SolidWorks or similar) is a plus

Schedule / Arrangement

Flexible. Open to part-time/contract to start (after-hours and weekends welcome), with a path to full-time for the right fit.

Pay

Above-market pay for the right candidate. If you can lead the operation, bring production back online, and improve the process, we'll pay accordingly.
