• Set up, operate, and troubleshoot 3‑axis and 5‑axis CNC milling machines, ensuring stability and precision when working with complex geometries and tight‑tolerance features
• Operate wire EDM and sinker EDM equipment to produce high‑accuracy features, fine details, and controlled surface finishes
• Apply advanced probing cycles, offsets, and in‑process verification to maintain sub‑thousandth accuracy throughout the machining process
• Review and troubleshoot G‑code, refine toolpaths, and collaborate closely with CNC programmers to optimize programs for FANUC machines

Maintenance and Equipment Upkeep

• Perform intermediate and advanced maintenance on CNC mills, lathes, and EDM systems, including alignment checks, lubrication, coolant and filtration management, and minor repairs
• Identify and escalate machine performance issues early, coordinating with maintenance or vendors to prevent unexpected downtime
• Follow company standards and procedures around tooling libraries, etc.
• Support the development of preventative maintenance routines and participate in machine capability evaluations

Quality Assurance

• Follow SOP to ensure traceability for all machined parts, maintaining detailed records such as travelers, setup sheets, inspection results, and process documentation
• Adhere to all AS9100 procedures, safety requirements, and internal work instructions

Team Collaboration, Support, and Mentorship

• Collaborate with CNC programmers, Engineering, AM Applications, Planning, and Quality teams to resolve machining issues and refine production processes
• Mentor machinists and apprentices, sharing expertise in 5‑axis milling, turning, EDM, FANUC controls, and advanced setup methods
• Assist other departments as needed, supporting shop activities such as staging materials, preparing fixtures, organizing work areas, and maintaining clean, safe workstations

Requirements:

Technical Skills & Experience

• Minimum 7+ years of CNC machining experience, with strong capability in 5 & 3 axis milling, CNC lathes.
• Extensive experience on FANUC‑controlled machining centers and lathes, including complex setups, troubleshooting, and program adjustments
• Proven ability to work with tight tolerances and complex geometries
• Expert‑level proficiency with blueprint reading, G‑code interpretation, and GD& T
• Skilled in probing cycles, in‑process inspection, and advanced metrology equipment
• Demonstrated ability to perform intermediate to advanced maintenance on CNC mills, lathes, and EDM equipment
• Wire EDM and sinker EDM experience considered a strong asset
• CNC programming experience (especially FANUC) is a strong asset
• Experience with advanced inspection tools (e.g., CMM, optical comparators) is a strong asset

Industry & Material Knowledge

• Experience in aerospace machining or other high-precision industries (e.g., medical, defense)
• Familiarity with AS9100 or NADCAP standards and aerospace documentation practices
• Experience with high-performance materials such as titanium, Inconel, or aerospace-grade aluminum alloys

Education and Professional Attributes

• College diploma in Machining or Mechanical Engineering Technology is considered an asset; equivalent hands-on experience will also be highly valued, particularly where it demonstrates strong ownership, accountability, and attention to detail.
• Demonstrates strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex machining challenges across multiple machines and platforms.
• Communicates clearly, manages time and priorities effectively, and works well in a fast-paced, collaborative manufacturing environment.

The expected compensation range for this position is $33 – $40.5 hourly. Actual compensation will depend on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, and experience. We also consider internal equity to ensure fair and consistent pay practices. This range reflects the expected full compensation range for this role; most offers will fall within the range and not at the maximum in order to allow for future growth.
