CNC Machinist

We are seeking an experienced Lead CNC Machinist to drive shop floor operations, provide hands‑on technical guidance, and ensure production targets meet strict quality and tolerance standards. In this role, you will balance complex setup and machining tasks on multi‑axis equipment with floor leadership, junior staff mentorship, and continuous process optimization.

• Setup & Operation:
  Set up, adjust, and operate 3- to 5-axis CNC mills and live‑tooling lathes to produce complex parts held to tight tolerances (down to ±0.0002 inches).
• Technical Leadership:
  Serve as the primary floor resource for troubleshooting setups, optimizing toolpaths, balancing machine workloads, and training apprentice machinists.
• Process Optimization:
  Edit G-code/M-code at the controller and refine feeds, speeds, and fixturing to minimize cycle times and scrap rates.
• Quality Assurance:
  Perform and sign off on First Article Inspections (FAI) and in-process checks using precision metrology tools (micrometers, bore gauges, height stands, and CMMs).
• Shop Standards:
  Oversee routine machine maintenance schedules, enforce 5S organization, and uphold rigorous shop safety compliance.

• Experience:
  
  7+ years of hands‑on precision CNC machining experience, including at least 2 years in a lead, supervisory, or senior mentoring capacity.
• Technical
  
  Skills:
  
  Background with major controls (Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, or Siemens); CAD/CAM programming proficiency (Mastercam, Fusion 360, or equivalent) preferred.
• Blueprints & GD&T:
  Advanced capability in blueprint reading and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T per ASME Y14.5).
• Materials:
  Proven track record working with diverse materials, including aluminum, stainless steels, and high-temp alloys (titanium, Inconel).
• Education:
  
  High school diploma or equivalent; formal machining apprenticeship or vocational degree in Precision Machining preferred.

The Lead CNC Machinist oversees daily shop floor machining operations, provides technical leadership, and ensures production schedules are met with high‑precision standards. This role requires an expert machinist capable of setting up, programming, and running complex, tight‑tolerance parts on multi‑axis CNC mills and lathes, while simultaneously training, mentoring, and guiding junior and mid‑level machinists.

• Set up, operate, and troubleshoot complex 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC mills and multi-spindle/live‑tooling CNC lathes.
• Interpret engineering drawings, complex blueprints, models, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) specifications to machine components within tolerances down to ±0.0002 inches.
• Edit and optimize G-code and M-code at the controller to improve cycle times, tool life, and part finish.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, fixtures, holders, speeds, feeds, and depth of cut based on material properties (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, and engineering plastics).
• Design, build, or modify custom jigs, jaws, and fixtures to support prototype and production runs.
