Precision CNC Mill-Turn Machinist & Programmer (Aerospace)

Job Description

Job Description

About the role

Picture your day beginning at a clean, organized workstation in an AS9100D-certified shop. You power up a CNC lathe or mill-turn center, review a customer print, load the correct program, and run the first part to exacting specifications. While one job is cutting, you’re measuring features with micrometers and calipers, documenting results on the job traveler, and prepping the next setup. If you enjoy precision, problem-solving, and seeing flawless parts leave the dock, this is your kind of work.

What you'll do

• Operate CNC turning, milling, and mill-turn equipment to meet customer print requirements, including first-piece runs and in-process verification.
• Adjust and refine CNC programs; implement revisions and validate outcomes when changes are made.
• Deburr components to specification and ensure parts meet surface and edge requirements.
• Identify, segregate, and report nonconforming product and foreign object debris (FOD); maintain lot control and part identification at all times.
• Use gages and inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, gage blocks) to confirm critical features to the print callouts.
• Accurately record results on travelers and associated documentation; report damaged or nonconforming parts to team leads / management.
• Assist with final packaging and shipping activities to keep orders moving.
• Adhere to AS9100D and customer-specific quality requirements and report safety concerns immediately.
