Metron Machining specializes in complex, high-precision CNC milling for aerospace, defense, space, and energy programs. The company handles work where quality, documentation, repeatability, and on-time delivery genuinely matter. This is not an operator-level position. Metron is looking for an experienced CNC milling machinist who can take ownership of complete setups, move a job efficiently through first-article approval, and leave behind a stable, documented process that other machinists can run successfully. This opening is for second shift, Monday-Thursday, on four 10-hour shifts. Second-shift machinists must be highly skilled, self-sufficient, and comfortable working with limited on-site support. Metron operates with clear standards and accountability. The goal is to prevent problems through disciplined setups, inspection, and documentation - not rely on last-minute firefighting. What you'll be doing Set up and operate CNC milling machines for complex precision components Translate prints, programs, and setup information into reliable machine setups Review CAM output and identify potential issues before cutting parts Select and validate tooling, fixtures, workholding, offsets, and probing routines Adjust speeds, feeds, offsets, and cutting parameters as needed Produce and inspect first articles Diagnose chatter, dimensional drift, surface-finish problems, and tooling issues Maintain tight tolerances and verify parts using precision measuring equipment #J-18808-Ljbffr Metron Machining
