About the role

Oceaneering’s Marine Services Division (MSD) is seeking Inside Machinists with CNC programming, setup, and machining experience to support the manufacturing of complex, critical submarine components in a low-volume, build-to-print environment. This role requires knowledge of machining principles, precision measurement, and blueprint interpretation. Unlike high-volume “widget” machining shops, our work consists of one-off and non-repeat builds with tight tolerances, exotic alloys, and high-quality standards that directly support the U.S. Navy submarine fleet. 

 

This role does not require travel but may require overtime. 

CNC Programming & Setup  

  • Review and edit CNC programs (lathe and mill) using G-code and CAM platforms.  

  • Set up, align, and secure workpieces, fixtures, and tooling on CNC and manual machines.  

  • Conduct first-article runs and validate programs to ensure dimensional accuracy and repeatability.  

 

Machining Operations  

  • Perform the setup and operation of a wide range of equipment that could include lathes, mills, grinders, saws, and/or related shop machinery.  

  • Machine complex components from materials such as HY-80, HY-100, stainless steel, Inconel, and other submarine-grade alloys.  

  • Select the correct speeds, feeds, tooling, accessories, and cutting methods to achieve required tolerances and surface finishes, under some supervision.  

  • Perform complex machining operations with supervision, using both CNC and manual equipment as required.  

 

Blueprint, Technical, and Work Document Interpretation  

  • Read, interpret, and execute machining work using complex blueprints, drawings, manuals, GD&T callouts, and technical work documents.  

  • Assist with laying out workpieces, measuring and marking reference points, and planning machining processes for one-off components.
