Aerospace CNC Set‑Up Machinist (Precision Lathes, Mills & Grinders)

Shape parts that take flight

Step into a world-class, clean aerospace facility where precision is everything and the parts you machine end up in real commercial and defense applications. As an Aerospace CNC Set‑Up Machinist, you’ll arrive to a modern floor (not a job shop) and take ownership of set-ups and production on CNC lathes, mills, and grinders—driving quality from first article to final inspection.

What your day looks like

• Own set-ups on CNC lathes, mills, and/or grinders; verify tooling, zeroes, and offsets.
• Run parts to blueprint and manufacturing specifications; hold tight tolerances with confidence.
• Interpret prints and apply GD&T fundamentals (nice-to-have; we’ll coach if you’re learning).
• Perform in-process checks and advanced gauge measurements; document results.
• Collaborate with a tight-knit team that values craftsmanship over clock-watching.

What you bring

• At least 1 year operating CNC lathes, mills, OR grinders; 4+ years preferred—but we value quality over quantity.
• Proven CNC setup experience (required).
• Inspection experience and the ability to read blueprints and manufacturing specs.
• Backgrounds that translate well: aerospace, medical, tool & die, automotive, and job shops.

Where you’ll thrive

• 7% bonus paid out in 2024 — real money on top of your base, every year.
• 70+ year privately held company — stable, built to last, no Wall Street pressure.
• World-class facility — clean, modern aerospace environment (not a job shop).
• Your work flies — commercial and defense applications.
• Best-in-class benefits — five medical plans, 100% dental, vision, 401(k) with immediate vesting.
• 13 paid holidays + up to 28 days PTO — generous time off from day one.
