Job summary We are looking for a CNC machinist who also programs. You will set up and run 5-axis mills and lathes to finish 3D-printed metal parts, write and improve programs from models and drawings, and hold the precision our aerospace customers expect. You will work alongside our lead machinist and engineers, with room to grow into more complex programming and process ownership. What you will do

• Program parts from models and drawings using CAD/CAM, and verify programs in simulation before running.
• Set up, fixture, and finish-machine parts on 5-axis mills and lathes to drawing tolerances.
• Machine 3D-printed parts and build plates, including thin walls and plate resurfacing.
• Measure parts in process with CMM and gauges, applying GD&T.
• Keep setup sheets and process documentation current so jobs can be repeated.
• Help diagnose machining problems and escalate to the lead machinist or engineering when needed.
• Maintain tooling, fixtures, and machines, and work safely to aerospace quality standards. Required qualifications
• 2+ years of CNC machining experience, including 1+ year of hands-on CAM programming
• Hands-on experience with 5-axis machining centers.
• Experience with CAD/CAM software (for example Mastercam, GibbsCAM, NX, or hyperMILL)
• Experience with CAM simulation and verification.
• Working knowledge of GD&T and blueprint interpretation.
• Experience with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, bore gauges). Preferred qualifications
• Aerospace or other high-tolerance background.
• Experience with titanium, Inconel, or other difficult-to-machine alloys.
• Experience machining AM parts
• CMM, tool presetting, and fixturing experience.
