CNC Mill Turn Machinist (Senior Level)

We are seeking a highly skilled Mill-Turn Machinist to independently set up, program, and operate CNC mill-turn (multi-tasking) machines to produce complex, high-precision components. This role requires advanced machining knowledge, strong blueprint and GD&T skills, and the ability to optimize processes, troubleshoot complex issues, and support continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Independently set up and operate CNC mill-turn / multitasking machines
• Load and qualify turning tools, live tooling, milling cutters, drills, and probes
• Establish work offsets, tool offsets, spindle orientation, and probing routines
• Run, edit, and optimize CNC programs for combined turning and milling operations
• Perform complex machining including OD/ID turning, threading, live-tool milling, cross-drilling, and multi-axis contouring
• Read and interpret complex blueprints, CAD data, and GD&T requirements
• Hold tight tolerances and meet demanding surface finish requirements
• Perform advanced in-process and final inspections using precision measuring tools
• Approve setups and first-article parts prior to production
• Troubleshoot complex issues related to tooling, fixturing, machine dynamics, or materials
• Optimize feeds, speeds, and toolpaths to improve cycle time and tool life
• Support new job prove-outs and process development
• Perform and support routine preventive maintenance
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for other machinists

Programming & Process Development

• Develop, edit, and optimize CNC programs using G-code
• Plan and establish machining sequences from print through production
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex machining, tooling, fixturing, and material issues
• Collaborate with engineering to improve manufacturability and process reliability

Blueprint Reading & GD&T

• Interpret complex blueprints, specifications, and GD&T requirements
• Apply design intent to machining strategies, datum structures, and inspection methods
• Serve as a technical resource for blueprint interpretation and machining best practices

Quality Assurance & Inspection

• Hold tight tolerances and achieve demanding surface finish requirements
• Perform advanced in-process and final inspections using precision measuring equipment
• Validate setups and approve first-article parts prior to production release
• Identify root causes of non-conformances and implement corrective actions
• Support quality audits and continuous improvement efforts

Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor and support junior and mid-level machinists
• Lead by example in safety, quality, and workmanship standards
• Assist with training, documentation, and development of standard work
• Communicate effectively with engineering, quality, planning, and supervision
