• 5+ years of CNC machining experience in a job shop, preferred.
• Experience with 5-axis CNC machines, and comfort managing turning and milling in a single setup.
• High level of blueprint reading and GD&T strong grasp of tolerances, offsets, and correlated dimensions.
• Detail oriented with proven analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of G&M Code.
• Proficiency with conversational controls is a plus.
• Able to meet deadlines while working under minimal supervision, with a positive, professional, customer-focused attitude.
• Knowledge and use of hand tools and precision measuring instruments.

Responsibilities

• Independently set up DMG Mori NT turn-mill centers from the blueprint - work-holding (chucks, collets, bar feed), tooling, offsets, and program - and bring the first article to print.
• Set and load all turning and live-milling tools per set-up instructions, and dial in B-axis positions, tool geometry, and work/tool offsets.
• Set up and verify main-spindle-to-sub-spindle transfer and synchronized (done-in-one) operations.
• Work to close tolerances and correlated dimensions, using probing and in-process gauging to hold aerospace-level accuracy.
• Machine to dimensions and maintain close tolerances while keeping production on schedule.
• Troubleshoot setups, tooling, and part quality; make adjustments and document what you change.
• Communicate with engineering and programming to improve setups and operations, and help develop best practices on the mill-turns.
