We're hiring an experienced CNC Machinist to join a growing precision manufacturing team producing high-tolerance components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial markets. If you enjoy challenging work, take pride in first-time quality, and want to work with advanced machining technology, this is an opportunity to grow your career in a shop that values craftsmanship and continuous improvement.
This is more than a production role. You'll own the machining process from setup through production, working on complex parts that require technical expertise, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
What You'll Do
Set up CNC mills, lathes, and multi-axis machining centers from print to first-part approval
Select tooling, workholding, and fixturing for a variety of materials and part geometries
Edit CNC programs at the machine to optimize quality, cycle time, and tool performance
Perform first article inspections and verify parts using precision measuring equipment
Monitor production runs and make tooling or offset adjustments to maintain tight tolerances
Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and customer specifications
Troubleshoot machining challenges including chatter, tool wear, dimensional variation, and surface finish issues
Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, efficiency, and process capability
Mentor less experienced operators and help build a strong machining team
What We're Looking For
5+ years of CNC machining experience with setup and program editing responsibilities
Experience operating CNC mills, lathes, or multi-axis machining centers
Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret GD&T
Strong understanding of tooling, speeds and feeds, workholding, and machining strategy
Experience using precision measuring equipment including micrometers, bore gauges, thread gauges, and CMMs
Experience machining aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, or other specialty alloys
Self-motivated with strong troubleshooting skills and a commitment to producing quality work
Preferred Experience
5-axis machining or mill-turn experience
CAM software exposure (Mastercam, Fusion 360, Hypermill, or similar)
Aerospace, defense, or other high-precision manufacturing experience
Experience supporting automated or lights-out machining environments
Why Join Us?
Work on challenging, high-precision parts instead of repetitive production work
Modern machining environment with continued investment in equipment and technology
Opportunity to expand your technical skills across advanced machining platforms
Join a growing operation with room for long-term career advancement
Collaborative team where experienced machinists have a voice in improving processes and solving complex manufacturing challenges
If you're looking for a role where your machining expertise will be valued and your skills can continue to grow, we'd love to hear from you.
