Senior CNC Machinist – Mazak Lathe (Aerospace)

If you’re strong on Mazak lathes, conversational programming, and tight-tolerance aerospace work, this shop wants your expertise.

This is a low-volume, high-mix aerospace environment — not production machining. You’ll machine complex, custom parts where quality, accuracy, and problem-solving matter.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Set up, program, and run Mazak CNC lathes
• Perform conversational programming and make program edits
• Machine tight-tolerance aerospace components
• Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and specifications
• Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and other precision tools
• Troubleshoot independently to achieve first-pass quality
• Support continuous improvement and meet production timelines

WHAT WE NEED

• 10+ years of CNC machining experience (lathe-focused)
• Strong experience with Mazak controls and conversational programming
• Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T skills
• Aerospace or other high-precision machining background
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

WHY THIS ROLE

• $27–$33/hr, based on experience
• 1st shift stability
• Contract-to-hire with long-term potential
• Full benefits upon hire, including 401(k) with company match
• Clean, organized precision shop — quality over quantity
