Responsibilities

• Autonomy: Setup, run, inspect, and document results across our floor, heavily utilizing advanced 5-axis machines and mill-turn centers.
• Manual Fundamentals: You don’t just rely on the machine; you understand exactly what the cutter is doing. You leverage deep manual machining fundamentals to troubleshoot chatter, read chip formation, optimize tool pressure, and tackle the most complex setups.
• Strategy & Execution: Select tooling, establish offsets, build bulletproof workholding strategies, and optimize processes.
• Quality Control: Hold tight tolerances from the first piece through the final run using manual micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
• Programming Mastery: Read, understand, and efficiently edit G-code and M-code on the floor to restore quality and maximize throughput.
• Problem Solving: Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and machine variables on the fly to achieve first-article success on both proven and unproven parts
• Advanced Quality (preferred): The ability to program/operate CMMs and independently conduct formal First Article Inspections (FAI) is highly preferred).
• Advanced Programmer (preferred): Experience fully programming from scratch in Mastercam is a plus but not required

Requirements

Qualifications

Required

• Experience: 8+ years in precision, tight-tolerance machining (more is always welcome).
• Precision: Proven ability to hold .0005” (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, and the manual skills to verify it.
• Technical Fluency: Deep understanding of complex blueprints and advanced GD&T (true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality).
• High-Setup Environment: Comfortable in shops where setup time is 30%+ of the job, frequently handling complex setups with 10+ tools.
• Quality Background: Deep expertise of manual CMM's

Preferred

• Aerospace: Strong tenure in Aerospace manufacturing and machining environments
