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
