The Role
We're looking for a skilled CNC Lathe Setup Operator to support weekday operations. You'll be setting up and running CNC lathes on a variety of precision components, working from drawings and programs. This is a hands-on role with room to grow as our shop expands into higher-volume production work.
Responsibilities

• Inspect parts during production using standard metrology equipment (micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, thread gauges, etc.)
• Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T callouts
• Follow work instructions, travelers, prints, and quality requirements in accordance with our AS9100 QMS
• Maintain accurate production and inspection records
• Collaborate with programmers, QC, and operations to troubleshoot and resolve issues
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
Qualifications
• 5+ years of CNC lathe setup and operation experience
• Strong understanding of turning fundamentals — speeds, feeds, tooling, boring, threading, grooving, and fixturing
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T skills
• Experience machining aluminum and steel to tight tolerances
• Experience with Mastercam or similar CAM software (program edits and offsets at minimum) is a plus
• Familiarity with ISO 9001 or AS9100 preferred but not required
• Comfortable in a small-team, hands-on shop environment
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally
