• Inspect finished and in-process parts using precision measuring equipment.
  
• Work with calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other inspection tools.
  
• Identify and troubleshoot machining issues and make appropriate adjustments.
  
• Follow established machining processes, quality procedures, and safety requirements.
  
• Maintain accurate production and inspection records.
  
• Work with supervisors, programmers, engineers, and quality personnel to resolve production issues.
  
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
  
• Help identify opportunities to improve machining processes, quality, and efficiency.
  
• Support the production of precision components used in aerospace and defense applications.
  

Requirements

• Previous experience working as a CNC machinist in a manufacturing environment.
  
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings and GD&T.
  
• Experience setting up and operating CNC machinery.
  
• Ability to make tool offsets and basic program adjustments.
  
• Proficiency using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and gauges.
  
• Experience with aerospace, defense, medical, or other precision manufacturing is a plus.
  
• Experience with CNC mills, lathes, or both is preferred.
  
• Familiarity with Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, or similar controls is a plus.
