5-Axis CNC Operator / Setup Technician

This role involves independently setting up and operating advanced CNC equipment, including Makino 5-axis machining centers and mill-turn lathes, to produce complex aerospace components with tight tolerances. The position requires a deep understanding of machining processes, tooling strategies, and GD&T to manage jobs from setup through final inspection. It plays a critical role in ensuring production efficiency, part quality, and continuous improvement while supporting program prove-outs and mentoring less experienced operators.
