CNC Machinist

Position Summary

We are actively seeking an experienced 5-Axis CNC Machinist with specific expertise in DMG Mori machining centers . The ideal candidate will be responsible for the setup, programming, and operation of DMG Mori 5-axis machines to produce complex, high-precision parts. This role is critical in supporting mission-critical applications and upholding our reputation for exceptional quality and innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and operate DMG Mori 5-axis CNC machines to manufacture aerospace-grade and high-temperature alloy components.
• Create and modify CNC programs using CAM software such as Mastercam , with a strong focus on post-processing for DMG Mori platforms.
• Interpret and work from complex technical drawings, blueprints, and CAD/CAM models to determine optimal machining strategies.
• Monitor tool paths and machine operation to ensure tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are achieved, especially on exotic and hard-to-machine materials.
• Conduct in-process inspections and quality checks using precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, CMMs).
• Troubleshoot machine or program issues independently, making real-time adjustments to improve efficiency and prevent scrap.
• Maintain detailed records of setups, offsets, tooling changes, and production outputs in compliance with AS9100 and other industry standards.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, quality assurance, and production planning to improve workflows and minimize downtime.
• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance on DMG Mori machines to ensure long-term accuracy and reliability.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience operating and programming DMG Mori 5-axis CNC machines (e.g., DMU, DMC, or NT series).
• Strong proficiency in G-code, M-code , and machine-specific controls (CELOS or Siemens/Fanuc for DMG Mori).
• Expertise in interpreting GD&T and complex technical documentation.
• Proficient in using HyperMill, Mastercam , or similar software for toolpath generation tailored to DMG Mori.
• Demonstrated ability to machine high-value components with precision and consistency.
• Knowledge of heat-resistant alloys, superalloys, titanium, Inconel, or similar advanced materials is preferred.
• Familiarity with quality standards in aerospace or defense manufacturing environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certification in Advanced CNC Machining or DMG Mori OEM training.
• Background in low-volume, high-complexity part production.
• Understanding of lean manufacturing practices and continuous improvement.

You should be proficient in:

• GD&T
• Troubleshooting Skills
• CNC Programming
• CNC Machine Repair
• G-Code

Machines & technologies you'll use:

• CAM Software
• CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC) (Fanuc, Dmg Mori Seiki)
• CNC Lathe (5+ axis) (Dmg Mori Seiki)
