CNC Machinist / Operator

2nd Shift | Southampton, PA | Aerospace Manufacturing

2 Openings | Monday–Thursday | 3:30pm–2:00am

The Opportunity

We're hiring two CNC Machinists / Operators for a growing aerospace manufacturing operation in Southampton, PA.

The facility produces precision aerospace components from aluminum, stainless steel, and magnesium, ranging from smaller hand-sized components to larger parts approximately 2' x 2'.

We're open to different levels of CNC experience.

One of the biggest advantages of this opportunity is that you don't have to be a fully developed Setup Machinist to be considered. We're interested in experienced CNC Operators who know how to run production, maintain quality and want to continue developing their machining skills.

We're also looking for a more experienced CNC Machinist who can work independently with setups, tooling, offsets and troubleshooting.

Your pay will be based on the level of experience and responsibility you bring to the role.

You'll work with modern CNC equipment including Haas, DMG Mori and Doosan machines with Fanuc controls, across both milling and turning operations.

What You'll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will depend on your experience and skill level.

CNC Machining & Setup

Experienced Machinists may:

• Perform CNC machine setups and changeovers
• Work with CNC mills and/or lathes/turning equipment
• Load and verify CNC programs
• Install tooling, fixtures and workholding
• Make offsets and process adjustments
• Troubleshoot machining and tooling issues
• Optimize machining processes while maintaining quality and efficiency
• Support new-job introductions and process validation

Operators may:

• Run CNC production equipment
• Load and unload parts
• Monitor machines throughout the production cycle
• Perform basic machine adjustments as trained
• Identify tooling or machining issues
• Maintain production quality
• Deburr finished components
• Maintain a safe, clean and organized work area

You do not have to be a fully qualified Setup Machinist to be considered. Solid CNC production experience can qualify you for an Operator-level opportunity, with room to continue developing your skills.

Inspection & Quality

Quality is important at every level of the operation.

Depending on your experience, you may:

• Perform first-piece/first-article inspections
• Complete in-process inspections
• Read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings
• Use micrometers, calipers, indicators, gauges and other precision measuring equipment
• Verify finished components meet specifications
• Hold tight tolerances
• Identify and communicate quality issues
• Deburr finished components

2nd Shift

Second Shift is focused heavily on keeping production moving after jobs have been released.

Depending on your experience, you'll spend your time:

• Running CNC equipment
• Monitoring production
• Troubleshooting machining and tooling issues
• Making offsets and process adjustments
• Maintaining quality
• Supporting multiple machines
• Working independently

The 2nd shift receives a 15% shift premium, bringing the effective pay range to $31.05–$44.85/hour.
