What they need
Step Into a Precision-Driven Role
TekPro partners with a highly respected aerospace manufacturer to add a CNC Lathe Machinist to the 2nd shift team (3:00 - 1:30AM). You’ll join a clean, well-organized, and stable environment where steady hours, consistent overtime, regular raises, and strong leadership support your growth.
A Day in Your Shift
You clock in and review your job packet. A new aerospace turning job is queued up. You set up a 2–4 axis CNC lathe (Haas, Okuma, Doosan, or DMG Mori Seiki), call up the program on Fanuc or comparable controls, dial in tools, and make offsets for a first-article run. With blueprints and GD&T in hand, you verify every critical dimension using micrometers, calipers, and gauges. You document results, adjust minor program details as needed, and keep production moving with tight-tolerance accuracy. When a chip control issue pops up, you troubleshoot quickly to maintain flow and quality.
What You’ll Do
- Set up and operate CNC lathes to produce tight-tolerance aerospace components
- Interpret blueprints and GD&T requirements for precision turning work
- Perform tool changes, apply offsets, and make minor program edits
- Inspect parts with micrometers, calipers, and gauges; maintain documentation
- Uphold high quality standards while troubleshooting machining issues
What You Bring
- 2+ years of CNC lathe setup and operation experience
- Strong blueprint reading skills and solid GD&T knowledge
- Proven ability to hold tight tolerances in production
- Familiarity with Fanuc or similar CNC controls
- Confidence working independently on 2nd shift (3:00 - 1:30AM)
Your Core Proficiencies
- Precision measurement & hand metrology
- Aerospace manufacturing practices
- Machine setups for production runs
Equipment You’ll Handle
CNC Lathe (2–4 axis): Haas, Okuma, Doosan, DMG Mori Seiki
Why This Team
Reliable overtime, clear paths for growth, and hands-on leadership make this a place where a meticulous turning expert can thrive while contributing to flight-critical parts.
