Cnc Mill Machinist

CNC Mill Machinist

This role focuses on setting up and operating multi-axis CNC milling machines to produce small precision components with short cycle times for high-quality aerospace applications. You will work with a variety of metals, hold extremely tight tolerances, and contribute to a clean, modern, and safety-focused manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate multi-axis CNC milling machines to run small parts with short cycle times.
• Perform production machining on materials including aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel.
• Read and interpret engineering blueprints and technical drawings to determine machining requirements.
• Use M-code and G-code to run CNC programs and make necessary adjustments at the machine control.
• Set up tooling, work holding, and fixtures to ensure accurate and repeatable machining operations.
• Measure parts to within one thousandth of an inch using precision instruments such as calipers and micrometers.
• Inspect parts during and after machining to verify dimensional accuracy and surface finish, documenting results as required.
• Troubleshoot machining issues, including tool wear, dimensional deviations, and program or setup problems, and implement effective solutions.
• Support long-run production jobs by monitoring machine performance, maintaining consistent quality, and minimizing downtime.
• Work with CNC controls and equipment from manufacturers such as Fanuc, Haas, and Mazak, including basic program edits as needed.
• Collaborate with engineering, inspection, and production teams to ensure parts meet specifications and customer requirements.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with shop standards and safety procedures.
• Follow all company quality procedures and contribute to continuous improvement of machining processes.

Essential Skills

• At least 2 years of experience in multi-axis CNC machining, specifically running small parts with short cycle times.
• Demonstrated ability to measure to one thousandth of an inch using precision measuring tools.
• Hands-on experience machining aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel.
• Proficiency in CNC mill setup, including tooling, fixturing, and work offsets.
• Strong blueprint reading skills and the ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Working knowledge of G-code and M-code and how they apply to CNC milling operations.
• Experience with calipers, micrometers, and other precision inspection equipment.
• Ability to perform in-process inspection and final inspection to ensure parts meet tight tolerances.
• Experience with multi-axis CNC machines and axis control concepts.
• Troubleshooting skills for machining processes, tooling issues, and machine performance.
• Familiarity with CNC controls and equipment such as Fanuc, Haas, or Mazak.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace machining or aircraft structural components and assemblies.
• Background or exposure to aircraft mechanical, airframe, or structural work.
• Experience with long-run production machining environments.
• Basic CNC programming or editing experience on Fanuc, Haas, or Mazak controls.
• Exposure to inspection processes and quality systems in a precision manufacturing environment.
• Interest in ongoing skills development through training and web-based education.
