Purpose
The CNC Machining Specialist is a technical expert responsible for defining machining approaches and executing complex CNC operations to produce precision components for advanced automotive, aerospace, and high-performance manufacturing applications. This role operates with broad autonomy, integrating with design and manufacturing engineering teams to develop robust machining strategies that ensure quality, repeatability, and scalability.
The CNC Machining Specialist leads advanced machine setup and operation, independently troubleshoots complex machining challenges, and drives improvements in tooling, work holding, and machining processes. This role also helps define best practices, refine procedures, and mentor other machinists and technicians while supporting continuous improvement and the scaling of high-precision manufacturing operations.
The Role
CNC Machining Expertise
• Lead the setup, operation, and optimization of advanced CNC equipment including multi-axis mills (3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis) to produce high-precision components in prototype and production environments.
• Apply deep knowledge of engineering drawings and GD&T to validate machining strategies and ensure parts meet strict dimensional and quality requirements.
• Diagnose and resolve complex machining challenges such as tool wear, workholding stability, machine performance, and program issues while establishing repeatable solutions and best practices.<span
