The posting

Job Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented CNC Machinist experienced in operating multi-axis lathes, vertical turret lathes (VTLs), and 5-axis mill-turn machines. This position supports the production of precision components for defense-related electric motor systems. The machinist will be responsible for setting up machines, optimizing existing programs, and maintaining tight tolerances on materials such as steel, cast iron, and heat-resistant alloys.

Key Responsibilities:

Set up and operate multi-axis CNC lathes, VTLs, and 5-axis mill-turn machines to manufacture precision parts such as shafts, housings, and assemblies. Optimize existing CNC programs for performance, tool life, and part quality. Install and adjust tooling, fixtures, and offsets to ensure accurate and efficient machining. Interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T specifications, and work instructions to meet production and quality requirements. Conduct in-process and final inspections using manual metrology tools (e.g., micrometers, bore gauges, height gauges) and automated systems such as touch probes. Monitor machining operations and make real-time adjustments to maintain part conformance. Maintain accurate records for setups, inspections, tool changes, and production output. Work collaboratively with engineering, quality, and production staff to resolve issues and meet delivery goals. Perform routine preventative maintenance and assist with troubleshooting mechanical or tooling problems. Comply with all safety standards and help maintain a clean, organized, and efficient work environment.

Qualifications:

High school diploma or equivalent required; technical certification or formal training in machining preferred. Minimum 5 years of experience operating multi-axis CNC machines, including VTLs and/or 5-axis mill-turn equipment, in a precision manufacturing environment. Skilled in machining parts from steel, cast iron, and heat-resistant alloys (e.g., Inconel, stainless steel). Strong knowledge of GD&T, tight-tolerance machining, and quality inspection techniques. Proficient with both manual inspection tools and automated measurement systems such as touch probes. Familiarity with CNC controls such as FANUC, Siemens, or OSP (Okuma) is a plus. Experience working under ISO 9001 or similar quality management systems. Able to interpret technical documentation and work independently with minimal supervision. U.S. Person status required (to comply with defense contract requirements).

Working Conditions:

Clean, well-maintained defense manufacturing facility. Requires standing for extended periods and lifting materials up to 50 lbs. Use of PPE and compliance with all safety procedures is mandatory. May require occasional overtime depending on production schedules.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
