Set up and operate CNC mills, lathes, machining centers, and other precision equipment. Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, setup sheets, and work instructions. Select and install tooling, cutters, inserts, fixtures, and work holding devices. Establish machine reference points, work offsets, and tool offsets. Perform program prove-outs and first-piece inspections. Machine complex components to precise engineering tolerances. Monitor part quality throughout the production process. Inspect work using micrometers, calipers, indicators, gauges, and other precision measuring equipment. Make machine or offset adjustments to maintain quality and dimensional accuracy. Complete deburring and secondary operations as needed. Operate multiple CNC machines when production requirements call for it. Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and quality issues. Safely move materials using cranes, hoists, and other material-handling equipment. Perform routine machine maintenance and maintain a clean, organized work area. Follow all safety procedures, work instructions, and standard operating practices.

Employees must be able to work in compliance with requirements governing Unclassified Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NOFORN).

Put Your Machining Skills Behind a Mission That Matters For more than 150 years, Fairbanks Morse Defense has built and supported the engines, propulsion systems, and technologies that keep America’s fleets mission ready. Here, you won’t be machining disposable parts or watching the same simple production run all day. You’ll help manufacture critical components where precision, reliability, and craftsmanship matter.
