1st Shift CNC Mill Or Lathe

This role focuses on setting up and operating 5-axis CNC mills to produce precision parts from a variety of materials. You will perform regular tool offsets, make G&M code program edits at the machine, and ensure parts meet blueprint specifications in a clean, modern, and climate-controlled manufacturing environment.

• Set up and operate 5-axis CNC mills to produce precision components according to engineering specifications.
• Perform approximately one complete machine setup per shift, ensuring all tooling, fixtures, and programs are correctly prepared.
• Perform 30 to 50 tool offsets per day, adjusting tools as needed to maintain part quality and dimensional accuracy.
• Run production lots that typically range from 40 to 80 pieces, monitoring quality throughout the run.
• Manage cycle times that can range from 3 minutes to 8 hours, with an average of about 10 minutes, while optimizing machine uptime and throughput.
• Work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and inconel, selecting appropriate tools and cutting parameters.
• Read and interpret blueprints to understand part requirements, tolerances, and critical features.
• Perform G&M code edits on existing programs directly at the machine to improve performance, correct issues, or refine processes.
• Use GD&T principles to verify that parts conform to specified tolerances and geometric requirements.
• Conduct tool changes and verify proper tool selection and wear, ensuring consistent quality and minimizing scrap.
• Monitor machine performance and part quality, making adjustments as needed and reporting any issues promptly.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all safety and operational procedures within the machining department.

• At least 3 years of experience setting up and operating 5-axis CNC mills.
• At least 3 years of experience reading and interpreting blueprints for machined components.
• At least 3 years of experience performing tool offsets independently on CNC milling equipment.
• At least 3 years of experience performing G&M code program edits directly at the machine.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and its application in precision machining.
• Proficiency with tool changes and basic CNC troubleshooting at the machine control.
• Ability to work confidently with materials such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and inconel.
• Attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality, dimensionally accurate parts.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple jobs, and maintain productivity throughout the shift.

• Experience with Mazak controls and Mazatrol programming is a plus.
• Prior hands-on experience machining stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, or inconel is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with Haas and Okuma machining centers is beneficial.
• Comfort working with varying lot sizes and cycle times in a production environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to optimize machining processes.
• Solid understanding of general machining safety practices and shop procedures.

You will work in a clean, organized, and climate-controlled facility equipped with modern CNC technology, offering a comfortable and professional environment to refine your machining skills. The shop invests in newer equipment and advanced machines, providing opportunities to work with complex parts and diverse materials while developing your expertise with leading CNC platforms. The culture emphasizes quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement, supporting your growth as a skilled machinist in a stable and well-structured production setting.

The role is based in a clean, organized, and climate-controlled manufacturing facility designed for comfort and efficiency. You will primarily work on newer CNC machines, including Mazak i-600, Mazak i-700T, Mazak 300, as well as Haas and Okuma equipment. The environment supports precision machining with modern controls and tooling, and daily work involves handling various metals such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and inconel.

The facility maintains a professional shop atmosphere focused on safety, quality, and reliable production.
