Senior CNC Turning Machinist — First-Article & Production, Fanuc

Own the first article. Lead the run.

At Filger Manufacturing, seven decades of aerospace, medical, and space production have shaped a culture of exactness and pride. We’re hiring a Senior CNC Turning Machinist to lead independent setups and production on Kia and Hardinge Fanuc-controlled lathes—delivering parts to +/- .0002 every time.

Your mission

Be the go-to for transforming a traveler into stable, repeatable output. Arrive at 6:00 a.m., stage materials, fixtures, and tools, complete the first article with the shop foreman, then drive a smooth, efficient run. You’ll apply offsets, make minor program edits, verify results with micrometers, calipers, gauges, CMM equipment, and eye loupes, and crush quality issues at the source. When workload surges, overtime is available.
