Build what flies
Join a team where craftsmanship meets aerospace performance. As a CNC Machining Technician, you’ll move between 2–5 axis mills and lathes and conventional equipment to produce complex parts with confidence and independence. Your expertise in setups, inspection, and safe material handling will keep production on target and quality uncompromised.
How you’ll contribute
- Run multiple CNC and conventional machines (milling and turning) with minimal supervision.
- Complete pre‑operational inspections prior to machining.
- Read blueprints, manuals, and job specifications to determine dimensions, tolerances, sequences, and setup details.
- Perform complex setups yourself—adjust jaws, tools, and offsets for first‑piece success.
- Retrieve and load parts using forklifts; handle materials safely.
- Operate cranes and hoists to position heavy workpieces.
- Execute test operations to confirm machine settings and programming accuracy.
- Choose and secure tools, fixtures, and materials for each assignment.
- Set speeds, feeds, coolant flow, and depth of cut; optimize as needed.
- Watch the cut and make in‑process adjustments to keep dimensions on target.
- Inspect and verify conformance to specifications before moving parts forward.
- Record time spent on tasks using the required systems.
- Follow daily work procedures and support continuous improvement plans.
