CNC Mill Operator

The Work

Delva Tool & Machine builds precision aerospace and defense components where a half-thousandth of an inch is the difference between a part that ships and a part that doesn't. We need production operators who can run Haas CNC equipment consistently, keep parts moving, and take pride in hitting tolerance every cycle.

Run production cycles on Haas CNC mills and lathes, loading and unloading parts and materials per established work instructions.

Within your first 90 days, become trained and fully operational on all current production parts running on your assigned equipment.

Measure and verify parts using calipers, micrometers, and gauges at each stage, catching issues before they reach inspection.

Monitor your machine for any irregularities, tool wear, or abnormal behavior and flag problems to your supervisor immediately.

Deburr, clean, and prep finished parts for inspection or the next operation, following the traveler and work instructions step by step.

Keep your work area clean, organized, and in compliance with shop safety policies at all times.

We hold tolerances to +/-0.0002" on aerospace and defense components, which means the work you do here actually matters. Our facility is AS9100 Rev D certified and runs two full shifts across Vertical Mills, Lathes, Swiss Lathes, and Mazak 5-axis horizontals with robotic loaders and automated pallet systems. This is not a job shop turning out one-offs; it's a disciplined production environment where precision is the baseline, not the goal.

Required (Machinist I):

• High School Diploma, GED, Trade/Vocational Certificate, or equivalent hands-on work experience.
• Basic comfort operating CNC equipment (mills, lathes, or similar machine tools).
• Ability to use common hand measuring tools: calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
• Attention to detail and a willingness to follow written work instructions precisely.

Required (Machinist II, if applying at the higher level):

• 3+ years of CNC machining experience.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T callouts.
• Experience adjusting offsets, replacing tooling, and diagnosing common machining problems (dimensional drift, surface finish, tool wear).
• High School Diploma, GED, Trade/Vocational Certificate, Associate's Degree, or equivalent work experience.

Nice to have (either level):

• Prior experience on Haas CNC equipment specifically.
• Background in aerospace, defense, or other high-tolerance manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with AS9100 or similar quality management systems.

$20.00-$30.00 per hour ($41,600-$62,400 per year), depending on level and experience. Delva offers medical benefits, 401(k), and paid time off. Full details provided during the interview process.
