1st Shift, Full Time Position Overview A precision aerospace manufacturer is seeking a highly skilled CNC Lathe Machinist capable of taking a part from raw material and blueprint through setup, first cut, process adjustment, inspection, and finished component. This is not a basic machine-operator or production setup role. We are looking for an experienced machinist who understands machining fundamentals, tooling, cutting strategy, feeds and speeds, and how to independently approach complex prototype and low-volume parts. Key Responsibilities Set up and operate CNC lathes producing complex, tight-tolerance aerospace components. Take new jobs from engineering drawing through first-piece production. Select tooling, inserts, workholding, feeds, speeds, and machining approach. Prove out new and existing CNC programs. Make program edits and machine adjustments as required. Perform first-piece and in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment. Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, and customer specifications. Troubleshoot machining, tooling, dimensional, and surface-finish issues. Provide input on tooling, fixturing, and machining methods for new parts. Support prototype, one-off, and low-volume production. Assist with training and technical guidance for less-experienced machinists. Perform routine machine care and basic preventive maintenance. Maintain high standards for quality, safety, and workmanship. Qualifications 5+ years of CNC precision machining experience. Strong hands-on experience with CNC lathe setup and operation. Must be capable of independently taking a part from blueprint to finished component. Experience with Fanuc, Siemens, and/or Okuma controls. Experience with CNC lathes such as Okuma, Mori Seiki, Doosan, or comparable equipment. Previous aerospace machining experience required. Strong understanding of GD&T and engineering drawings. Thorough knowledge of cutting tools, inserts, feeds, speeds, and tool life. Ability to perform shop math and calculate machining requirements. Experience using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision inspection equipment. Comfortable machining prototypes, one-off parts, and complex low-volume components. Ability to troubleshoot independently with minimal supervision. Strong employment stability and demonstrated progression in machining roles. Must be eligible to access ITAR/EAR-controlled technical information as required for the position. Preferred Experience CNC lathe programming or advanced program editing Prototype aerospace machining Tight-tolerance components Complex materials and challenging geometries Fixture and tooling concepts First Article Inspection support Multi-axis turning equipment Aerospace or defense component manufacturing What Makes Someone Successful Here The strongest machinists will not simply load parts and run established programs. They will be able to look at a drawing and piece of raw material, determine how the part should be machined, set up the equipment, make the first cut, troubleshoot the process, and deliver a conforming finished component. This is an excellent opportunity for a true machinist who takes pride in craftsmanship and enjoys challenging aerospace work.
