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

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:
