• Run, edit, and optimize CNC programs for combined turning and milling operations
• Perform complex machining including OD/, threading, live-tool milling, cross-drilling, and multi-axis contouring
• Read and interpret complex blueprints, CAD data, and GD&T requirements
• Hold tight tolerances and meet demanding surface finish requirements
• Perform advanced in-process and final inspections using precision measuring tools
• Approve setups and first-article parts prior to production
• Troubleshoot complex issues related to tooling, fixturing, machine dynamics, or materials
• Optimize feeds, speeds, and toolpaths to improve cycle time and tool life
• Support new job prove-outs and process development
• Perform and support routine preventive maintenance
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for other machinists

• Develop, edit, and optimize CNC programs using G-code
• Plan and establish machining sequences from print through production
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex machining, tooling, fixturing, and material issues
• Collaborate with engineering to improve manufacturability and process reliability

• Interpret complex blueprints, specifications, and GD&T requirements
• Apply design intent to machining strategies, datum structures, and inspection methods
• Serve as a technical resource for blueprint interpretation and machining best practices

• Hold tight tolerances and achieve demanding surface finish requirements
• Perform advanced in-process and final inspections using precision measuring equipment
• Validate setups and approve first-article parts prior to production release
• Identify root causes of non-conformances and implement corrective actions
• Support quality audits and continuous improvement efforts

• Mentor and support junior and mid-level machinists
• Lead by example in safety, quality, and workmanship standards
• Assist with training, documentation, and development of standard work
• Communicate effectively with engineering, quality, planning, and supervision

• High school diploma or GED required; technical training or apprenticeship preferred
• 8+ years of CNC machining experience with mill-turn / multitasking equipment
• Advanced understanding of combined turning and milling processes
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Proven ability to run complex jobs independently from setup through completion
• Proficiency with precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, indicators, height gauges)
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and mechanical aptitude

• CNC programming experience (G-code, conversational, or CAM)
• Experience with machines such as Mazak, DMG Mori, Okuma, Doosan, or similar
• Aerospace, medical, defense, energy, or high-precision job shop background
• Experience working within ISO, AS9100, or similar quality systems
• Informal leadership or mentoring experience

• Ability to stand for extended periods
• Ability to lift up to 30 lbs
• Manual dexterity and attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a machine shop environment
