CNC Machinist

Overview:

We are seeking a high-caliber CNC Machinist to join our precision machining team in Oak Ridge. We are a specialized manufacturer producing critical, close-tolerance components for the aerospace and defense industries. If you want to see your work on satellites, fighter jets, and rockets, this is the shop for you. Unlike high-volume "button-pusher" shops, we focus on low-volume, short-run production. This is a role for a true machinist who enjoys the challenge of complex geometries and one-off parts. We need someone who is not just a machine operator, but a technical problem-solver who can take a project from setup through final inspection. We have openings on 1st and 2nd shift

Compensation:

Responsibilities:

Independent Setups & Operation

• Perform complete setups, touch-offs, and tool offsets on CNC machines for high-complexity, short-run aerospace parts. G-Code Optimization
• Read, interpret, and modify G-code at the controller to troubleshoot machining processes and ensure the highest accuracy. Precision Machining
• Machine parts to extremely close tolerances, often working with exotic materials and complex geometries required for flight-critical applications. Manual Support
• Operate manual equipment (mills, lathes, saws) as needed to support production and secondary operations. Blueprint & GD&T Literacy
• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications, including a strong mastery of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Process Improvement
• Collaborate with engineering to verify CNC programs (MasterCam) and optimize machining strategies for better efficiency and quality. Quality Control
• Inspect finished parts using precision measuring tools to ensure 100% compliance with AS9100D and

ISO 9001

standards.

Requirements Qualifications:

Required:

Machining Experience:

5-10 years of professional machining experience with a heavy emphasis on CNC setups and troubleshooting.

Strong knowledge of precision machining tools, metal fabrication, and mechanical equipment.

Preferred:

5-

Axis Experience:

Prior experience with 5-axis machining is a significant advantage.

Manual Skills:

Proficiency in manual machining (mills/lathes) is highly valued.

Industry Experience:

Previous experience in an Aerospace or Defense manufacturing environment (AS9100D/Nadcap).

Software:

Experience with MasterCam software is a strong plus. Benefits Competitive salary and benefits package, including paid healthcare, holidays, and vacation. Matching 401k. Education reimbursement. Opportunities for professional growth and development. Collaborative and innovative work environment. CNC Machinist Oak Ridge, TN 37830 $52,000
