CNC Machinist Lathe - Setup

JSG is seeking a CNC Machinist Lathe - Setup for a 1st Shift, temp to hire, onsite position for our growing Aerospace client in the greater Tacoma, WA area. 
You're the person the shop calls when a new job hits a twin-spindle lathe and has to run right the first time. You don't just load a program and push cycle start. You build the setup, prove out the part, tighten the cycle and leave the machine faster than you found it.

CNC Machinist Multi-Axis Lathe Setup:

• Set up and prove out multi-axis CNC lathes: twin-spindle, twin-turret, live tooling, Y-axis and sub-spindle part transfer, from bar stock to finished part in one handling
• Own changeovers. Apply SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) to move internal setup steps offline, standardize setups, and cut changeover time job after job
• Build and maintain quick-change tooling systems (Capto, KM or similar), preset tool kits and setup sheets so the next changeover is faster than the last
• Work directly with CNC programmers and process engineers on toolpaths, work holding, tool selection and cycle-time reduction, and give practical shop-floor feedback on programs
• Bring new and transferred parts through first-article with Quality, and hold tight tolerances on aerospace alloys: titanium, Inconel, stainless and aluminum
• Troubleshoot chatter, tool life, finish and dimensional problems at the machine, and fix the root cause
• Train and mentor operators and junior machinists on setups, offsets, in-process inspection and safe machine operation
• Drive 5S, standard work and continuous improvement in the lathe cell
• Performs other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of CNC lathe setup experience, including at least 2 years on multi-axis mill-turn machines (twin spindle and/or twin turret). Mazak, Okuma, Nakamura-Tome, DMG MORI, Doosan/DN, or similar
• Strong command of G-code and machine control. You edit at the control with confidence and know Fanuc, Mazatrol or OSP
• Solid blueprint reading and GD&T, plus hands-on use of mics, bore gages, height gages and thread gages
• A track record of cutting setup time with SMED, quick-change tooling or standardized setup methods (bring numbers if you have them)
• Ownership. You treat every setup as your signature

Preferred Qualifications:

• Aerospace machining under AS9100, plus familiarity with AS9102 FAI and customer requirements from Boeing, RTX/Collins, Northrop Grumman or similar
• Swiss-type experience
• CAM exposure (Mastercam, Esprit, NX or similar)
• Lean or Six Sigma training

Pay range: $25/hr - $40/hr.
