Senior Multi‑Axis CNC Setup & Process Machinist (Aerospace)

Senior Multi‑Axis CNC Setup & Process Machinist (Aerospace)Location: Detroit, MichiganCompensation: $24 – $32 per hour based on experience + overtime eligibleKintara is partnering with a premier precision manufacturer serving aerospace and advanced industrial customers. You’ll thrive in a high‑mix, low‑ to medium‑volume environment where owning the process—from first setup to final inspection—is the norm.A day in your life hereYou start by reviewing job travelers and complex prints with tight GD&T. You select tooling, design or refine a fixture, and bring a multi‑axis turning or milling center online. Offsets are dialed, feeds and speeds are tuned, and a First Article Inspection (FAI) is completed with documentation. Mid‑shift, you’re mentoring a teammate on workholding strategy while the current job moves through in‑process checks on a CMM and surface plate with micrometers, bore gauges, and indicators. By day’s end, you’ve updated setup sheets, solved a chatter issue, tightened a tolerance, and captured a process improvement for the next run.What you’ll ownEnd‑to‑end setups and operation of multi‑axis CNC turning and milling equipmentTooling selection, offsets, feeds/speeds, and real‑time process optimization for tight‑tolerance workCreation and validation of fixtures and workholding for complex componentsLeading FAIs and completing all required documentationIn‑process dimensional checks using CMMs, surface plates, and precision metrologyTroubleshooting tool wear, chatter, dimensional variation, and instabilityInterpreting advanced GD&T, engineering drawings, and customer specsMaintaining setup sheets, process documents, and production recordsIdentifying improvements that boost quality, efficiency, and throughputMentoring less experienced machinists and serving as a floor‑wide technical resourceWhat you’ll bring10+ years of precision CNC machining experienceHands‑on expertise with multi‑axis turning and milling (4‑axis and/or 5‑axis)Deep knowledge of fixture design and workholdingProven experience executing FAIs and documentationAdvanced GD&T fluencyProficiency with CMMs and precision tools: micrometers, bore gauges, indicators, and surface platesMastery of feeds, speeds, and tooling for steel, stainless, and aluminum; titanium/advanced alloys a plusBackground in AS9100, ISO 9001, or similar regulated environmentsIndependent decision‑making and minimal‑supervision executionBonus: CAM programming experience (Mastercam and/or GibbsCAM)Why this roleOperate at a senior level in a shop that prizes accountability, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement. This is a place to solve hard problems, mentor others, and shape repeatable processes for high‑consequence parts.About the workHigh‑mix, low‑ to medium‑volume production with tight tolerances for aerospace and advanced industrial applications. #J-18808-Ljbffr Kintara
