Job Responsibilities:

The CNC Machinist is responsible for the full lifecycle of part production on CNC mills and lathes, from initial machine configuration to final quality inspection. This is a technical role that requires setting up tooling, loading raw materials, and making real-time adjustments to G-code programs to maintain tight tolerances. Successful performance requires the physical ability to handle heavy parts and acute attention to detail for troubleshooting mechanical issues in a fast-paced environment.

Job Duties:

• Machine Operation: Efficiently operate CNC mills and lathes to meet production targets. This requires managing multiple machines simultaneously while ensuring all parts meet strict quality specifications and project timelines.

•Technical Setup: Independently perform accurate machine and tool setups according to technical documentation to ensure optimal production flow.

•Quality Assurance: Execute 1st-piece, in-process, and last-piece inspections. Proficiency with precision instruments—including micrometers, calipers, comparators, gauges, and CMM equipment—is required to verify part integrity.

•Data Management: Utilize JobBoss and other digital applications for accurate data collection, production tracking, and internal communication.

•Preventative Maintenance: Perform routine operator-level maintenance to ensure equipment longevity and peak performance.

•Troubleshooting: Rapidly diagnose and resolve equipment malfunctions or tooling issues to minimize downtime and maintain precision.

•Secondary Operations: Conduct de-burring and rework of in-process components to meet final finishing standards.

•Process Improvement: Proactively identify and recommend adjustments to optimize machining processes and increase operational efficiency.

•Workplace Organization: Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient workstation in full alignment with 5S standards.

•Safety & Compliance: Execute all duties in strict accordance with PAC safety standards and company policies to ensure a zero-accident environment.

Skills and Qualifications:

• 3-5 years experience as a CNC Machine Operator and set up (Mill and Lathe Machines)

• A comprehensive understanding of machining center theory, including proficiency in X, Y, and Z-axis orientation, as well as edge and centerline pickup procedures.

• Advanced ability to utilize a wide range of precision measuring instruments, including micrometers, calipers, various gauges (pin, thread, indicator, height), optical comparators, and CMM equipment.

• Expert-level blueprint reading skills with full command of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) standards.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a focus on supporting continuous improvement initiatives and meeting rigorous customer specifications.

• Ability to perform complex industrial mathematical functions and navigate basic Windows-based applications and MS Office for production tracking.

•Must meet eligibility requirements to handle sensitive controlled data and materials in strict accordance with ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) policies.

•Ability to consistently lift, push, and pull raw materials and tooling weighing up to 50 pounds.

•Must maintain vision standards compliant with AS 9100 requirements, including the ability to perform high-precision inspections and detect minute surface defects.
