Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Mill Turn Machinist to join our advanced manufacturing team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience operating and programming multi-axis mill-turn CNC machines to produce precision components used in RF connectors and other high-performance applications for defense and aerospace. This position requires expertise in simultaneous milling and turning operations, tool path optimization, and working with tight tolerances on complex geometries. 

Essential Responsibilities

• • Set up, operate, and program mill-turn CNC machines (e.g., Nakamura, Doosan, Mazak Integrex, DMG MORI NT/NX series, Okuma Multus) to produce high-precision parts. 
  • Interpret complex engineering drawings, 3D models, and GD&T specifications to ensure compliance with dimensional requirements. 
  • Program using CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, GibbsCAM, Fusion 360) or directly at the machine control (Fanuc conversational/G-code). 
  • Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measurement tools such as micrometers, calipers, height gages, and CMMs to ensure quality. 
  • Select appropriate tooling and fixturing to support multi-operation machining in a single setup. 
  • Work with a variety of metals and exotic materials, including high-strength alloys, stainless steel, and other aerospace-grade materials. 
  • Collaborate with engineers and manufacturing staff to refine machining strategies and improve part flow. 
  • Maintain tight tolerances and surface finishes, especially on concentric and symmetric features requiring both milling and turning. 
  • Ensure equipment is maintained and calibrated for optimal performance; troubleshoot machine or program-related issues. 
  • Ensure adherence to quality control standards, including conducting in-process inspections and maintaining detailed production records. 
  • Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized, and 6S-compliant work area. 
  • Document setup sheets and tooling lists for repeatability and knowledge sharing. 
  • Participate in continuous improvement efforts, lean initiatives, and training as needed. 
  • Perform other duties as directed by management. 

Position Requirements

• • High school diploma or equivalent required; technical certification in CNC machining or programming preferred. 
  • Minimum 6+ years of experience in precision machining, with at least 3 years operating and programming mill-turn equipment. 
  • Strong proficiency in CNC programming (G-code and conversational) and use of CAD/CAM software for multi-axis ope
