Integrity Industries is seeking an experienced Lead CNC Programmer / Machinist to take technical ownership of our CNC machining operations supporting aerospace and defense customers.

This is a hands-on programming and machining position — not a desk-only role. You will take complex precision parts from drawing and solid model through Mastercam programming, setup, prove-out, first article, inspection, and production.

We are looking for the person other machinists turn to when they have a difficult setup, programming problem, tooling issue, or challenging part.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK WITH

• Mastercam

• Okuma LB3000 EX II CNC turning center with live tooling and Y-axis

• Haas VF-4SS CNC vertical machining center

• Haas VF-2SS CNC vertical machining center

• Solid models and complex aerospace/defense components

• Precision inspection equipment

• Tight-tolerance, low-to-medium volume production

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop and optimize CNC milling and turning programs using Mastercam

• Program, set up, prove out, troubleshoot, and operate CNC mills and lathes

• Take new parts from print/model through finished production

• Develop machining strategies, operation sequences, tooling, fixtures, feeds, and speeds

• Program and troubleshoot Okuma CNC lathes

• Set up and operate Haas CNC mills

• Perform first-piece and in-process inspection

• Interpret engineering drawings and apply GD&T

• Troubleshoot programming, tooling, work holding, dimensional, and process problems

• Improve cycle times, tool life, machine utilization, and process reliability

• Develop repeatable processes for new aerospace and defense components

• Create and maintain setup documentation, tooling information, and CNC program revisions

• Assist with estimating machining time, setup requirements, tooling, and manufacturing complexity for new work

• Train and mentor CNC machinists and operators

• Establish machining, programming, setup, and tooling best practices

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience

• Strong Mastercam programming experience

• Experience programming and setting up both CNC mills and CNC lathes

• Hands-on Okuma CNC lathe experience

• Ability to independently take a part from print/model through programming, setup, machining, and inspection

• Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, feeds, speeds, offsets, cutter compensation, tooling, and work holding

• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T skills

• Experience holding tight dimensional and geometric tolerances

• Proficiency with micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, indicators, height gauges, and other precision inspection equipment

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving ability

• Ability to train and mentor other machinists

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Okuma LB3000 EX II

• Okuma OSP controls

• Live tooling and Y-axis turning

• Advanced Mastercam milling and turning

• 4-axis or 5-axis machining

• Aerospace or defense machining

• AS9100 manufacturing environment

• AS9102 first article inspection

• Fixture and work holding development

• Machining aluminum, stainless steel, alloy steel, titanium, nickel alloys, and engineering plastics

• Cycle-time reduction and machining process improvement

THIS POSITION IS A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

• Enjoy solving difficult machining and programming problems

• Can take a challenging job and develop a practical manufacturing plan

• Are equally comfortable programming at the computer and working at the machine

• Take pride in producing complex parts correctly the first time

• Like improving processes rather than simply running existing programs
