Lead CNC Turning & Milling Machinist — Aerospace/Medical
Location: Northeast Ohio | Compensation: $29 – $32 per hour, DOE + overtime eligible
Who we are: Kintara supports a best‑in‑class precision manufacturer building tight‑tolerance parts for aerospace, defense, medical, and advanced industrial applications.
Is this you?
Do you thrive in high‑mix, low‑to‑medium volume work where every setup is a fresh challenge?
Do you enjoy owning the process—from fixture concept to first article to final inspection?
Can you translate complex GD&T and customer specs into reliable, repeatable processes?
Are you the go‑to person others ask for help with chatter, tool life, or dimensional drift?
What you’ll do
Independently set up and run multi‑axis CNC turning and milling centers.
Engineer tooling and workholding strategies; validate fixtures for complex geometries.
Own FAI: execute inspections and complete all documentation.
Verify critical dimensions in process using CMMs, surface plates, micrometers, bore gauges, and indicators.
Troubleshoot tool wear, chatter, process instability, and dimensional variation.
Interpret prints, customer specs, and advanced GD&T to meet tight tolerances.
Create/maintain setup sheets, process documentation, and production records.
Continuously improve throughput, quality, and efficiency.
Coach and support less experienced machinists as a technical leader on the floor.
What you’ll bring
10+ years of CNC machining in precision environments.
Experience with 4‑ and/or 5‑axis milling plus multi‑axis turning.
Fixture/workholding design skills for complex parts.
FAI execution and documentation experience.
Advanced GD&T interpretation.
Comfort with CMMs and precision inspection tools (micrometers, bore gauges, indicators, surface plates).
Mastery of feeds/speeds, tooling selection; metals include steel, stainless, aluminum; titanium a plus.
Experience within AS9100, ISO 9001, or similar quality systems.
Independent, sound decision‑making with minimal oversight.
CAM programming exposure (Mastercam/GibbsCAM preferred but not required).
Tech you’ll touch
CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC), including Haas
Multi‑axis turning and milling centers
