Precision CNC Turning & Milling Machinist (Fanuc/Okuma/Haas)

QCManufacturing Inc

Job Description

Job Description

Shape high-precision parts from setup to final inspection

At QCMI, your day starts with a blueprint review alongside engineering. You plan the job, choose tooling, and set up a 3- or 4-axis VMC or a 2-4 axis lathe. You dial in speeds/feeds for stainless, aluminum, castings, forgings, and exotic alloys, make on-the-fly program edits at the control, and run first-article checks to GD&T—partnering with Quality to meet aerospace-grade standards and delivery dates.

What you'll do
  • Independently set up, operate, and optimize CNC mills and lathes.
  • Comfortably work with Fanuc, Okuma, Haas, and similar controls.
  • Read and interpret complex blueprints; apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Adjust offsets and make competent program changes at the machine.
  • Select tooling and cutting parameters for a wide range of metals, including superalloys.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, and manufacturing to meet deadlines and quality targets.
What you bring
  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a CNC Machinist in a machine shop.
  • Proven ability to set up and run jobs unsupervised.
  • Knowledge of materials including castings and forgings.
  • Proficiency in blueprint reading and applying geometric tolerances.
  • Competence making program changes at machining centers.
  • Excellent communication skills; a dependable, team-first mindset; strong work ethic; willingness to work overtime when requested.
  • Own set of tools.
Bonus points
  • Experience with lean manufacturing principles.
  • Familiarity with Six Sigma methodologies.
  • General understanding of ISO 9001/AS9100 quality systems.
Machines & technologies you'll use
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
  • CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
You should be proficient in
  • Aerospace Manufacturing
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
  • Shop Math Skills
  • Blueprint Reading
Compensation & benefits

QCMI offers competitive wages and a comprehensive benefits package.
