CNC Machinist- Day Shift

Job DescriptionCNC Machinists are responsible for the setup, operation, and maintenance of CNC lathe machines to produce complex aerospace components with precision and efficiency. Depending on experience and skill level, machinists may work under direct supervision or operate independently, demonstrating increasing levels of technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and leadership.In addition to production machining, this role may support prototyping and proto shop activities, requiring the ability to interpret raw engineering sketches or blueprints and fabricate functional components from scratch-often without established CNC programs or pre-set tooling.Core ResponsibilitiesOperate CNC machine equipment to meet production rate and quality standardsLoad and unload materials and parts from machinesPerform routine machine upkeep, including chip removal, surface cleaning, and maintaining coolant, oil, and lubrication levelsPerform in-process inspections using precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges, air gauges, feeler gauges, and other inspection equipmentRead and interpret blueprints, engineering sketches, and work instructionsMonitor machine performance and cutting conditions; report issues to shift lead or supervisorDeburr and edge-break parts as requiredSet up machines by loading fixtures, tools, and CNC programs, and adjusting offsets to maintain dimensional accuracy (based on experience level)Perform preventative maintenance and troubleshoot machining processes to optimize performanceAdvanced / Experience-Based Responsibilities* Operate multiple machines and
