• Perform machine setups, including tooling selection, fixture installation, and program loading for production and long-run machining jobs.
• Interpret and read blueprints, drawings, and work instructions to determine machining operations, dimensions, and tolerances.
• Measure parts accurately to one thousandth of an inch using precision instruments such as calipers and micrometers to verify conformance to specifications.
• Machine components from materials including aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel, adjusting parameters to account for material characteristics.
• Use and understand G-code and M-code to run, adjust, and troubleshoot CNC programs, including Fanuc, Haas, and Mazak controls.
• Monitor machine operations during production runs, making offsets and adjustments as needed to maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
• Perform in-process and final inspection of parts, documenting results and ensuring compliance with aerospace quality standards.
• Troubleshoot machining issues such as tool wear, dimensional deviations, and surface defects, and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain tooling, workholding, and equipment in good working condition, ensuring machines are clean, organized, and ready for operation.
• Collaborate with engineering, fabrication, and assembly teams to resolve technical issues and improve processes.
• Follow all safety procedures and quality standards, contributing to a clean, organized, and temperature-controlled shop environment.

Essential Skills

• Minimum 2+ years of experience with multi-axis CNC machining, specifically running small parts with short cycle times.
• Proficiency in setting up CNC milling machines, including tooling, fixturing, and program loading.
• Ability to measure to one thousandth of an inch using precision measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers.
• Hands-on experience machining aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel.
• Strong blueprint reading skills and the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
• Working knowledge of G-code and M-code for CNC machining operations.
• Experience with Fanuc, Haas, or Mazak CNC controls.
• Demonstrated ability to perform inspection and quality checks throughout the machining process.
• Solid troubleshooting skills for resolving machining, setup, and production issues.
• Ability to work scheduled shifts, including evenings and weekends, as required by production needs.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace machining, aircraft assembly, or structural and mechanical aircraft components.
• Experience or familiarity with airframe, structure, or aircraft mechanical work.
• Exposure to CNC programming or editing on Fanuc, Haas, or Mazak platforms.
• Experience with long-run production machining in a high-precision environment.
• Comfort working with tooling selection, optimization, and process improvement.
• Any related certifications or training in machining, CNC operation, or aerospace manufacturing are beneficial.
