Senior Large‑Part CNC Turn/Mill Specialist (Fanuc/Mazak)

Job Description

Job Description

A day in your life on our floor

You clock in, review a blueprint for a one-off, high-value component, and plan your setup on a modern turning center. With steady rest and tailstock dialed in, you load tools, apply your G-code know-how, and verify offsets. Throughout the run, you use micrometers and calipers to validate dimensions, make smart program edits, and collaborate with a teammate to troubleshoot a surface finish issue. By end of shift, you’ve produced a precision part within spec—one of just a handful in the lot.

What you’ll handle

• Set up and operate CNC lathes and mills (2–5 axis) for large, low-volume (1–10 pcs) precision components.
• Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to plan efficient setups and machining strategies.
• Input and adjust programs (G & M code), perform basic program troubleshooting, and optimize offsets and tooling.
• Use steady rest and tailstock properly for large-part rigidity and accuracy.
• Perform routine maintenance to keep machines at peak performance.
• Measure with precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, hand metrology) and verify all critical dimensions.
• Work closely with peers to quickly resolve machining challenges while upholding safety and quality standards.

What you bring

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on CNC setup and operation experience.
• Fanuc and Mazak control proficiency; strong G-code foundation; CAD/CAM familiarity.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and understand drawing features and GD&T.
• Deep understanding of tool offsets and changeovers.
• Own basic machinist tools.
• Proven problem-solving ability, solid math skills, and the discipline to follow written procedures.

Experience expectations

• CNC machining: 5 years (required)
• Blueprint reading & GD&T: 5 years (required)
• Using micrometers: 5 years (required)
• G & M code: 5 years (required)
• CNC machine setup: 5 years (required)
