CNC Machinist III

Pay Rate: $45-$55/hr 1st shift

As a Machinist III, you will independently set up and operate advanced 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining centers to manufacture complex, mission-critical aerospace hardware. You will own machining execution from setup through dimensional verification, frequently working on one-of-one and low-volume components manufactured from difficult and high-value materials.

• Independently set up and operate complex 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining centers.
• Prove out setups for new or unproven components in collaboration with Programming and Engineering.
• Machine one-of-one, prototype, and low-volume flight hardware using Inconel, titanium, stainless steel, copper, and other exotic alloys.
• Perform conversational programming and controller-level G-code and M-code edits using Fanuc and/or Siemens controls.
• Install and qualify fixtures, work holding, cutting tools, probes, machine datums, and related setup components.
• Interpret engineering drawings, models, setup documentation, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) requirements.
• Perform first-piece and in-process dimensional verification while monitoring tool wear, machining conditions, and process stability.
• Independently troubleshoot machining, tooling, setup, and dimensional issues in partnership with Programming, Engineering, and Quality.
• Exercise stop-work authority when conditions may place personnel, equipment, or hardware at risk.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less-experienced machinists.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 5+ years of CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated ability to independently set up and operate complex 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining centers with minimal supervision.
• Experience machining one-of-one, prototype, or low-volume, high-value components.
• Experience machining Inconel, titanium, stainless steel, copper, and/or other exotic alloys.
• Conversational programming experience using Fanuc and/or Siemens controls.
• Basic CAM experience using Mastercam, ESPRIT, CATIA, or comparable software.
• Experience working within an AS9100 or equivalent quality management system.
• Strong blueprint-reading skills and practical knowledge of GD&T.
• Strong knowledge of cutting tools, work holding, fixturing, probing, feeds, and speeds.
• Proficiency using precision measuring and inspection equipment.
• Ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain composure while machining one-of-one and high-value aerospace hardware.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Experience with large-format 5-axis machining.
• Experience machining additively manufactured components.
• Previous experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to less-experienced machinists.
• Advanced experience troubleshooting complex machining, tooling, dimensional, and process-related issues.
