Full Job Description
Overview

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense job shop in the Cincinnati area.

We build 1-of-1 components on a scale most machinists never see. Our smallest parts are the size of a suitcase. Many are the size of boats - complex weldments, castings, and exotic alloys where no two parts are identical.

Our floor is built for that work: Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), large-format 5-axis mills, and massive gantry mills, running controls like Heidenhain that you won't find in a standard job shop.
Compensation
  • $34-$48/hr
  • Unlimited optional overtime - guaranteed 50-hour week
  • Up to $140k/yr (including shift differential and 50 hr schedule)
  • 60-day review
Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift
  • 1st shift: 5:00 AM-3:30 PM (M-F)
  • 2nd shift: 5:00 PM-3:30 AM (M-F)
Responsibilities
  • Setups: Independent setups on parts weighing thousands of pounds
  • Rigging: Overhead cranes and heavy rigging to flip and position parts
  • Prove-Outs: Run 1-of-1 parts on your own
  • G-Code at the Control: Read, edit, and catch program defects
  • Weldments & Castings: Machine welded and cast parts and adapt to their inconsistencies
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Complex multi-view prints; establish your own datums and setups
What You'll Run
  • Equipment: Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), large-format 5-axis mills, and gantry mills
  • Brands: Union, Cincinnati, MTE, Bost, Tosh Ulin, DMG, OMV, Parpas, and Dinamika
  • Controls: Heidenhain, Siemens, and FANUC controls
  • Materials: Titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and advanced composites

You don't need experience on these exact machines. If you're a senior machinist with strong fundamentals, G-code fluency, and complex setup experience, your skills will transfer.
