CNC Turning Technician -- Flight-Grade Manufacturing

TekPro Engineering

Job Description

Job Description

Your Craft, Our Mission: Build Flight-Grade Precision

Through TekPro, you’ll join a respected aerospace manufacturer on 2nd shift (3:00 - 1:30AM). Imagine taking raw stock through setup, first-article verification, and repeatable production—every part finished to spec in a clean, organized shop. You’ll have steady hours, dependable overtime, consistent raises, and leadership that invests in your growth.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Flight safety starts with perfect fits. You’ll turn critical components on 2–4 axis CNC lathes (Haas, Okuma, Doosan, DMG Mori Seiki), using Fanuc or similar controls. You’ll read complex blueprints, apply GD&T, and validate results with calibrated micrometers, calipers, and gauges. When issues arise, you’ll troubleshoot quickly to keep production on pace—without compromising quality.

Your Responsibilities
  • Set up and operate CNC lathes to produce tight-tolerance aerospace parts
  • Interpret prints and GD verify critical dimensions
  • Handle tool changes, offsets, and minor program edits
  • Inspect and document results using precision metrology tools
  • Resolve machining issues to maintain flow and standards
Skills & Experience
  • 2+ years of CNC lathe setup and operation
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T proficiency
  • Demonstrated ability to hold tight tolerances
  • Experience with Fanuc or comparable controls
  • Comfort working independently on 2nd shift (3:00 - 1:30AM)
What You’re Great At
  • Precision measurement & hand metrology
  • Aerospace manufacturing practices
  • Machine setups for production runs
The Machines

CNC Lathe (2–4 axis): Haas, Okuma, Doosan, DMG Mori Seiki

Grow with Us

Bring your turning expertise to a stable, high-demand operation that rewards accuracy and initiative with opportunities to advance.
