FrankCrum Staffing

Job Description

Job Description

Build parts that carry missions forward

Join a quality-first team where precision isn’t optional—it’s the standard. As a Star Swiss CNC operator, you’ll craft components that meet stringent aerospace expectations and AS9100 practices while contributing to a shop culture defined by safety, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.

Your impact
  • Set up and operate Star Swiss (sliding headstock) CNC lathes to produce repeatable, tight-tolerance components.
  • Translate engineering blueprints, GD&T, and job travelers into precise, efficient machining plans.
  • Verify quality at every stage using calipers, micrometers, indicators, and gauges; complete in-process and final inspections.
  • Hold demanding tolerances and refine tool/work offsets to keep processes centered and stable.
  • Identify potential machining or quality issues early and communicate them to the right stakeholders.
  • Model safety procedures and strengthen a safety-first culture on the floor.
  • Maintain an orderly, efficient work area to support flow and reliability.
  • Collaborate with quality, engineering, and production to troubleshoot and elevate results.
What sets you up for success
  • Advanced blueprint reading (required), with strong GD&T fluency.
  • Hands-on proficiency with metrology tools—calipers, micrometers, indicators, gauges.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to producing quality parts every time.
  • Experience on Swiss lathes preferred; confidence operating in precision machining environments with tight tolerances.
Physical capability
  • Standing for extended periods.
  • Lifting 35–50 lbs as required.
  • Bending, reaching, stooping, and crouching as needed.
  • Sharp visual acuity for close-tolerance inspection and reading prints.
  • Comfort working around noise, coolants, and moving equipment.
Grow with us
  • Safety is embedded in how we work.
  • Training, skill development, and career growth are part of the plan.
  • Stable opportunities with a respected precision manufacturer.
  • A culture where craftsmanship and quality truly matter.
Desired proficiencies
  • CNC Tooling
  • CNC Programming
  • CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
  • Aerospace Manufacturing
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
  • Troubleshooting CNC Machines
  • AS9100 Experience
  • Blueprint Reading
Equipment you’ll run

  • CNC Swiss Lathe (Star)
  • CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
