Job Description

Step Into a Precision Role You Can Own

Location: Peterborough, NH
Compensation: $25.00–$35.00 per hour (DOE)
Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Your Day

You’ll arrive to a well-organized aerospace shop, review the day’s travelers and blueprints, and move straight into hands-on setup. You’ll dial in tooling, load programs, make offsets, and run first-article parts—then verify results with micrometers, calipers, and gauges. When something’s off, you isolate the issue fast, adjust, and keep product flowing. Throughout the day you’ll collaborate with engineering and quality to hit tight tolerances and timelines, and you’ll leave your work area clean and production-ready for the next run.

What You’ll Handle

• Independently set up, operate, and troubleshoot CNC equipment to produce high-precision aerospace components
• Complete setups, change tooling, adjust feeds/speeds, and maintain accuracy with precise offsets
• Interpret drawings, blueprints, and technical specs to ensure parts meet stringent requirements
• Inspect parts with precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, gauges) and document results
• Resolve machining issues to protect quality and throughput
• Partner with engineering/quality teams to meet manufacturing standards and continuously improve
• Keep a safe, orderly, and compliant work environment

What You Bring

• Professional experience as a CNC Machinist, CNC Setup Machinist, or Precision Machinist
• Hands-on CNC setup expertise is required
• Background with CNC turning, hard turning, or ID/OD grinding
• Proven ability to independently set up and operate CNC machines
• Comfort working to tight tolerances on precision components
• Fluency reading/understanding engineering drawings and blueprints
• Solid knowledge of tooling, offsets, machining processes, and quality inspection
• Experience with Mazak, Fanuc, Siemens, or Bryant grinding equipment is a strong plus
• Aerospace, automotive, or other precision manufacturing experience is beneficial

Proficiencies

• CNC Machine Repair
• CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
• Machine Setups for Production Runs

Compensation, Shifts & Perks
