DPI Inc. is a growing precision CNC machine shop serving aerospace, defense, industrial, and other high-specification customers. We are seeking an experienced CNC Lathe Machinist capable of independently setting up and running CNC turning equipment in a high-mix job-shop environment.

This position requires true setup ability. The successful candidate should be comfortable taking a job from drawings, setup information, tooling, and programs through first-piece approval and production.

Responsibilities

Independently set up CNC lathes and turning centers

Read and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, GD&T, and specifications

Install and set chuck jaws, collets, fixtures, and other workholding

Cut, bore, and prepare soft jaws when required

Properly establish work coordinates and part zero

Select, install, and touch off turning, boring, threading, grooving, drilling, and other tooling

Load, verify, and safely prove out CNC programs

Set and adjust tool geometry and wear offsets

Make minor program edits and process adjustments when appropriate

Set and verify threading operations

Inspect first-piece and production parts using micrometers, calipers, bore gages, thread gages, indicators, and other precision inspection equipment

Hold close tolerances throughout production runs

Troubleshoot dimensional variation, tool wear, chatter, finish, chip-control, and other machining problems

Perform multiple operations and setups as required

Maintain accurate production and inspection records

Work independently while communicating issues to programming, quality, or management

Follow DPI safety, quality, AS9100, and ITAR requirements

Qualifications — Required

Previous CNC lathe setup experience in a precision machining environment

Ability to independently set up a CNC turning center from start to finish

Strong blueprint-reading skills

Working knowledge of GD&T and close-tolerance machining

Experience setting work coordinates, geometry offsets, and wear offsets

Ability to cut and properly set soft jaws

Knowledge of common turning, boring, grooving, drilling, and threading operations

Ability to inspect your own work using precision measuring equipment

Ability to diagnose and correct common machining problems without constant supervision

Qualifications — Preferred

Fanuc-controlled lathe experience

Haas lathe experience

Experience with live tooling, Y-axis, sub-spindles, or multi-axis turning centers

Experience machining stainless steels, tool steels, aluminum, nickel alloys, and other difficult materials

Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience

Experience in low-volume/high-mix job-shop manufacturing

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who understands the complete turning setup process—not simply an experienced machine operator. A strong candidate should be able to look at a job, understand how it needs to be held and tooled, establish the setup correctly, and consistently produce conforming parts.

There is opportunity to grow into more advanced equipment, programming, and technical responsibility as DPI continues to expand.

Job Type: Full-time
