CNC Machinists- Michigan
About The Position
Barnes Aerospace is hiring CNC Machinists to work in a manufacturing environment producing aerospace components. The role operates 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling, turning, and/or grinding machines, often running multiple machines as part of manufacturing cells or machining centers. Machinists work with hard metals such as Inconel, titanium, and stainless steel; set up tools and fixtures; make offsets and adjustments using Fanuc controls; and inspect finished parts to ensure they meet specifications. Work hours vary by shift: first shift is 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m., second shift is 3:30 p.m.–12:00 a.m., and third shift is 10:30 p.m.–7:00 a.m. Second-shift employees receive a 12% shift differential and third-shift employees receive a 15% shift differential.
