Global Precision Products

Job Description

Job Description

Build bulletproof turning processes for mission-critical parts

MK Services in Middleton, MA is expanding. We’re an AS9100-approved precision manufacturer serving Aerospace, Defense, and Medical markets, and we’re adding a turning-focused programmer to help scale our high-mix/low-volume work. Expect strong benefits, flexible schedules, real growth, and a team that sweats the details.

Your impact (bullet-point focus)
  • Mastercam programming for single-spindle/turret and multi-axis dual-spindle/dual-turret lathes; create efficient, capable programs for complex components.
  • Print to process : interpret ASME Y14.5 GD&T and 3D models to define op sequences, datums, and inspection strategy.
  • Tooling architecture : specify cutting tools, holders, fixtures, and materials aligned to part features and machine capability.
  • Prove-out & optimization : collaborate directly with machinists to launch new jobs, refine feeds/speeds, and correct issues to meet quality and workmanship standards.
  • Team collaboration with engineering and quality to accelerate continuous improvement and resolve production challenges.
  • Traceability : maintain accurate programs, proven posts (.nc files), and setup documentation for every assignment.
  • Compliance : uphold safety regulations and applicable industry standards on the floor and in planning.
What you need to succeed
  • 3–5+ years CNC turning programming experience; aerospace/defense/medical background preferred.
  • Software fluency : Mastercam required; exposure to Gibbs , CAMWorks , and SolidWorks helpful.
  • Machining expertise : materials, turning strategies, and quality systems knowledge; strong troubleshooting mindset.
  • Communication : able to work seamlessly with machinists, peers, management, and external vendors.
  • Education : HS diploma or equivalent required; Associate’s in CNC programming/machine tool technology preferred.
  • Core proficiencies : CNC programming, aerospace manufacturing practices, and setting up equipment for repeatable production runs.
Machines & technologies
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
  • CNC Lathe (5+ axis; dual-spindle/dual-turret)
  • CNC Swiss Lathe
  • CAM Software (Mastercam primary; Gibbs/CAMWorks exposure valued)
Important—role requirements

This is an on-site position that requires hands-on CNC programming and manufacturing planning . Machine operation, setup, or supervisory experience alone is not sufficient to qualify.

  • Career development and growth opportunities
  • Collaborate with top machining talent in Middleton, MA

Apply now to turn complex blueprints into stable, production-ready processes that keep our customers flying, protected, and healthy.
