Matthews, NC | $28–$36 / hr (DOE) | Relocation Assistance Available

Own the Cut. Command the Craft.

Join Northeast Tool — an award-winning aerospace manufacturer where precision meets pride. We’re looking for skilled CNC Setup Machinists (Mills or Lathes) ready to take on complex, tight-tolerance parts — or level up into 5-axis and multi-axis machining with hands-on training.

What You’ll Do

Set up and operate CNC mills or lathes to produce aerospace-grade components.

Work with 3- to 5-axis DMG Mori mills (Siemens 840D) or multi-axis lathes (live tooling, sub-spindles, c / y axis).

Interpret G-code or conversational programs, align fixtures and tooling, and verify dimensions.

Run first-piece inspections and maintain 5S and safety standards.

Collaborate with Engineering and Quality to ensure precision and consistency.

What You Bring

• 3+ years CNC machining
• experience (mill or lathe setup).

Strong blueprint reading, GD&T, and measurement skills.

Experience holding tolerances within ±0.0002"–0.0005".

Familiarity with Siemens, Fanuc, or OSP controls (a plus).

High school diploma or GED.

Even Better

5-axis or multi-axis experience (DMG Mori, Grob, Okuma, Makino).

AS9100 or aerospace shop background.

Experience with high-temp alloys (Inconel, Monel).

NIMS or GD&T certifications, or Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt+.

Not 5-Axis Yet?

If you’re an experienced 3-axis machinist or setup expert eager to grow, we’ll train you on Siemens 840D and multi-axis systems. Skill, curiosity, and craftsmanship matter most here.
