Position Summary

Seeking experienced CNC Machinists with strong setup and machining skills for a precision manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on machining role focused on complex CNC setups, precision parts, troubleshooting, blueprint interpretation, and independent machining.

Ideal candidates will have experience with Swiss lathes, CNC mills, grinders, and/or manual machining and should be capable of working with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC and conventional machining equipment for complex, tight-tolerance parts.
• Work from blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, sketches, and work instructions.
• Perform complex machine setups using standard and custom tooling/fixtures.
• Operate multiple machines and manage simultaneous machining operations.
• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, dimensional, and process issues.
• Perform precision inspection using micrometers, calipers, gauges, comparators, surface plates, and CMMs.
• Apply advanced shop mathematics, including trigonometry.
• Perform SPC and maintain required quality documentation.
• Collaborate with Engineering to resolve drawing, tooling, and manufacturing issues.
• Develop or improve machining processes where documentation is limited.
• Maintain machines, tooling, and work areas for safe and efficient operation.
• Support Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Train and mentor less-experienced machinists as needed.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience in a precision/high-tech manufacturing environment.
• Strong CNC machine setup and troubleshooting experience.
• Ability to independently produce precision parts to tight tolerances.
• Strong blueprint and engineering drawing interpretation skills.
• Experience with precision measuring equipment and inspection methods.
• Knowledge of advanced shop math and trigonometry.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Experience

• Swiss Lathe
• CNC Milling
• Grinding
• Manual Machining
• CNC tooling and fixture setup
• Aerospace/flight controls or other high-precision manufacturing
• CMM and SPC
• Lean Manufacturing

Best candidates: Experienced CNC Machinists, not entry-level machine operators.
