CNC Machining Specialist – 5-Axis Milling

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Process Optimization and Innovation – Partner with design and manufacturing engineering teams to influence part design for manufacturability and improve machining efficiency; define and refine machining strategies—including programming approach, tooling selection, and fixturing concepts—to improve cycle time, quality, and process reliability; drive continuous improvement initiatives and support
