About the Role
We're looking for an experienced CNC Mill Turn Machinist to operate multi-axis mill-turn centers with live tooling. This is a senior-level machining role — you'll handle complex parts that require simultaneous milling and turning operations on aircraft-grade aluminum to tight tolerances.
What You'll Do
- Set up and operate multi-axis CNC mill-turn centers with live tooling (C-axis, Y-axis)
- Program, edit, and optimize CNC programs for complex mill-turn operations
- Machine precision components from aircraft-grade aluminum to aerospace-level tolerances
- Perform complete first-piece and in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments
- Select optimal cutting strategies for combined milling and turning operations
- Troubleshoot machining issues and optimize cycle times while maintaining quality
- Monitor tool life, manage offsets, and coordinate tooling needs
- Maintain detailed production and quality documentation per ISO 9001:2015
- Mentor junior machinists on multi-axis techniques and best practices
- Collaborate with engineering on new part development and process optimization
What You Bring
- 5+ years of CNC machining experience, with at least 2 years on mill-turn or multi-axis equipment
- Strong programming skills — ability to write, edit, and optimize programs at the control
- Expert-level blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation
- Proficiency with precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, CMM)
- Experience machining aluminum to tight tolerances
- Knowledge of live tooling, C-axis, and Y-axis operations
- Trade certification (Red Seal Machinist) or equivalent experience strongly preferred
- Familiarity with Fanuc, Mazak, or similar multi-axis controls
- Process-driven mindset — you think about quality, not just parts
