  • Select tooling, fixturing, and machining strategies for complex geometries
  • Interpret and apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to meet tight tolerances
  • Perform first article inspections and validate processes
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and refine programs for quality and cycle time
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in machining methods and workflows
  • Collaborate with other departments to support repair and manufacturing projects

Required Skills & Capabilities

  • Strong working knowledge of GD&T (ANSI/ASME Y14.5)
  • Advanced CAM programming experience (Mastercam preferred)
  • Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and CAD models
  • Proven ability to machine high-tolerance, multi-surface parts
  • Strong problem-solving skills and process intuition
  • Excellent attention to detail and quality mindset
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of outcomes
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, job-shop environment

Preferred Experience

  • 5+ years CNC machining experience
  • 3+ years programming and running 5-Axis mills
  • Experience with manual machining (Bridgeport or equivalent)
  • CAD/CAM modeling experience (Mastercam or similar)

What We Offer

  • Competitive pay aligned with senior-level skill sets
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Simple IRA with up to 3% employer match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Clean, climate-controlled shop
  • Annual performance reviews with raise potential
  • Long-term stability and growth in a specialized, high-precision manufacturing environment
