Job Summary
We're hiring elite Senior CNC Machinists to become key players in our premier manufacturing facility. We support critical, high-stakes sectors including aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor manufacturing. We welcome masters of CNC Milling, experts in CNC Turning, and cross-trained machinists who excel at both.
This role goes far beyond basic machine operation. We need seasoned professionals who can take full ownership of the setup process-from deciphering complex drawings and choosing the optimal tooling to proving out first articles and executing offsets before locking in full production. You'll run everything from 2 and 3-axis lathes to 3, 4, and 5-axis mills, crafting incredibly tight-tolerance parts out of aluminum and stainless steel.
Why Join Us?
- Backed by Ambition: Under new leadership and backed by an aerospace and defense-focused startup, we are injecting serious capital into advanced technology and our workforce.
- Make Your Mark: Step into a role where your expertise directly shapes a company poised to make massive waves in the defense and aerospace sectors.
Compensation
- $100k+ / yr (Wages calculated based on a 50-hour work week with overtime)
- Unlimited optional overtime available to push your earnings even higher
First Shift
- 1st Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM
- Monday - Friday
- Note: The 50-hour target for the salary range is easily achievable through our abundant, optional overtime hours.
Responsibilities
- Machine Setup & Operation: Independently execute comprehensive setups and run production on 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC milling centers AND/OR 2 and 3-axis horizontal CNC lathes.
- Production Ownership: Analyze complex engineering blueprints, GD&T, and routing instructions to guide projects from initial setup to final production with virtually zero hand-holding.
- Tooling & Calibration: Determine optimal tooling, dial in work and tool offsets, and fully prep machines for precision production runs.
- Advanced Programming: Leverage deep G-code fluency on Fanuc controls to edit programs at the machine, adjust offsets, and troubleshoot manufacturing bottlenecks on the fly.
- Quality Assurance: Lead first-article inspections and continuous in-process checks utilizing manual precision metrology equipment (bore gauges, dial indicators, micrometers, and calipers).
- Shop Standards: Consistently hit exact aerospace-grade tolerances while championing a safe, clean, and highly organized workspace.
Requirements
Qualifications
Required
- Experience: 3+ years of CNC setup experience on Mills (3, 4, or 5-axis) AND/OR Lathes (2 or 3-axis).
- Setups: Proven ability to independently own the setup process and run production without direct supervision.
- Technical: Strong blueprint reading skills and a deep understanding of GD&T and complex work instructions.
- Programming: High level of fluency in G-code and hands-on experience with Fanuc controls and machine-side program edits.
- Precision: Proven ability to hold incredibly tight tolerances.
- Metrology: Strong understanding of precision measurement, with proficiency using traditional manual inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, indicators, etc.), not just digital gauges.
Preferred
- Industry: Prior experience machining aerospace, defense, medical, or semiconductor components.
- Equipment: Experience with Hardinge, Doosan, Swiss-style, or similar CNC lathes.
- Versatility: Dual capability on both CNC milling and turning centers is a massive plus.
