Your Mission

Transform prints into precision parts. You’ll lead end-to-end CNC lathe setups, validate first articles with meticulous measurement, and fine-tune tooling, offsets, speeds, and feeds until the process is rock solid. The work supports aerospace and commercial customers—prior aerospace experience is not required, only a commitment to quality.

Decode blueprints and GD&T, verify critical features, and document inspection results.
Optimize tooling strategies, troubleshoot issues, and drive stable, efficient cycles.
Own in-process inspection using precision hand metrology and advanced gauges.

What You Bring

Proven CNC lathe setup experience with minimal supervision.
Strong blueprint reading and GD&T fluency.
Precision measurement and first-article inspection expertise.
Hands-on troubleshooting of tooling, offsets, speeds, and feeds.
Ability to commute reliably to Pomona for the day shift.

Bonus Points

Fanuc controls.
Live tooling capability.
Experience with Y-axis, sub-spindle, or bar feeder work.
Background in aerospace or medical components.
AS9100 or ISO job-shop experience.
Material experience: aluminum, stainless steel, titanium.

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent (technical training/certification is a plus).
Experience as a CNC lathe operator/machinist with setup responsibility.
Knowledge of CNC programming concepts and established setup procedures.
Comfort with G-code and M-code.
Ability to interpret technical documents and drawings.
Detail orientation with strong problem-solving instincts.
Independent contributor who collaborates well in a fast-paced shop.
Commitment to machining safety standards.
