Key Responsibilities: 

Machining & Technical Operations

• Set up and operate CNC lathe machines, both equipped with multi-tool heads, including one with a subspindle, for high-volume repetitive jobs (e.g., coupons) and complex, low-volume 3D printed components
• Operate additional CNC equipment, including 3-axis and 5-axis milling machines as required
• Maintain tight tolerances (under 0.001") and ensure consistent part quality using probing cycles and in-process verification techniques
• Read, interpret, and troubleshoot G-code programs; collaborate with CNC programmers to optimize machining strategies
• Perform basic maintenance and upkeep on CNC lathes and other machining equipment

Quality & Compliance

• Document and maintain traceability for all machined parts, including material certifications, inspection reports, and process logs
• Ensure compliance with aerospace-specific tolerances and surface finish requirements, including deburring and final inspection
• Complete and submit all required documentation related to production and quality in a timely manner
• Adhere to all safety protocols and quality system procedures (e.g., AS9100)

Collaboration & Support

• Work with CNC programmers and cross-functional teams (Additive Applications, Engineering, Quality, Planning) to troubleshoot and improve production efficiency
• Identify and resolve machining issues quickly to minimize downtime and maintain production efficiency
• Support other departments as needed based on operational demands

Continuous Improvement

• Support continuous improvement initiatives, including tooling optimization, cycle time reduction, and scrap minimization
• Participate in root cause analysis and corrective actions for non-conforming parts

Requirements:

Technical Skills & Experience

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in CNC machining, including setup and operation of precision 3-axis and 5-axis machines (Fanuc controller experience preferred)
• Strong experience with CNC lathe operation, including subspindle and multi-tool head setups
• Proven ability to work with tight tolerances and complex geometries, including 3D printed parts
• Proficient in blueprint reading, G-code interpretation, and GD&T
• Experience with probing cycles and in-process inspection methods
• Basic maintenance skills for CNC lathes and milling machines
• Wire EDM and sinker EDM experience considered a strong asset
• CNC programming knowledge is an asset
• Experience with advanced inspection tools (e.g., CMM, optical comparators) is a strong asset

Industry & Material Knowledge

• Experience in aerospace machining or other high-precision industries (e.g., medical, defense)
• Familiarity with AS9100 or NADCAP standards and aerospace documentation practices consider an asset
• Experience with high-performance materials such as titanium, Inconel, or aerospace-grade aluminum alloys
• Strong understanding of thermal effects, tool wear, and material behavior during machining

Education & Soft Skills

• College diploma or engineering degree in a related field is an asset
• Effective problem-solving, time management, and communication skills
• Self-motivated and able to work in a dynamic team environment
• Must be eligible to obtain security clearance

The expected compensation range for this position is $26 – $32 hourly. Actual compensation will depend on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, and experience. We also consider internal equity to ensure fair and consistent pay practices. This range reflects the expected full compensation range for this role; most offers will fall within the range and not at the maximum in order to allow for future growth.
