• 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

• 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.
