Detroit, Michigan Compensation:

$24 - $32 per hour DOE + overtime eligible Kintara supports a leading precision manufacturer producing highly engineered aerospace and advanced industrial components. If you excel in high‑mix, low‑ to medium‑volume work and enjoy full ownership from setup through final inspection, this role is for you. Is this you? Do you independently set up multi‑axis CNC lathes and mills and keep them running to tight tolerances? Can you design and validate fixtures that make complex parts repeatable? Are FAIs, in‑process checks, and documentation second nature to you? Do you read intricate GD&T and convert it into stable, efficient processes? Will you mentor others while troubleshooting chatter, tool wear, and variation? Role snapshot Own setups and operation on multi‑axis turning and milling centers Control tooling, offsets, feeds/speeds; tune processes for precision production Design/build/validate fixtures and workholding for complex geometries Lead First Article Inspections and complete all required paperwork Run in‑process verification using CMMs, surface plates, micrometers, bore gauges, and indicators Quickly diagnose instability, chatter, and dimensional drift Translate GD&T, engineering drawings, and customer specs into robust machining plans Maintain setup sheets, process docs, and production records Drive continuous improvement for quality, throughput, and efficiency Coach less experienced machinists and serve as a go‑to technical resource Qualifications 10+ years in precision CNC machining Proficiency with 4‑axis and/or 5‑axis milling and multi‑axis turning Expertise in fixture design and workholding Hands‑on FAI leadership and documentation Advanced GD&T interpretation CMM proficiency and precision inspection skills Strong command of feeds/speeds and tooling for steel, stainless, and aluminum; titanium/advanced materials experience is a plus Experience in
