SUMMARY We are seeking a highly experienced CNC Machinist to support precision prototype and production machining within a quality-driven manufacturing environment. This role is ideal for a hands-on machinist who can independently take a component from print or 3D model through programming, setup, machining, and in-process inspection. The position supports complex aerospace-grade components requiring tight tolerances, advanced machining strategies, and close collaboration with engineering and quality teams. This is a full-time, onsite opportunity offering strong compensation, stability, and comprehensive benefits.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Interpret detailed engineering drawings and 3D models to manufacture precision components from concept to completion Develop manufacturing process plans in partnership with engineering, including material selection, tooling strategy, and fixture design Program, edit, and troubleshoot CNC programs using Mastercam and directly at the machine (G-code/M-code) Set up and operate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling centers Set up and run CNC lathes with live tooling, C-axis capability, twin turrets, twin spindles, and bar feeders Design and fabricate custom fixtures using 3D modeling tools when required Select, assemble, and install appropriate tooling for prototype and short-run production jobs Maintain tight tolerances on high-precision components Perform in-process inspections using micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, gauge blocks, and related equipment Coordinate with metrology for CMM validation and final quality checks Provide input to engineering teams on manufacturability and design optimization Assist with cost estimation worksheets, precision assembly, or inspection tasks as needed Maintain clear communication with project leads and cross-functional team members Set up and break down machinery while maintaining a clean, organized work area

QUALIFICATIONS
