Precision Turn/Mill Machinist, Aerospace Gears

Precision Turn/Mill Machinist, Aerospace Gears

Do you turn complex prints into flawless parts? TekPro is partnering with a top-tier producer of aerospace and defense power transmission components to hire 2 precision CNC lathe machinists . If you enjoy leading setups, editing code at the control, and solving problems across multiple machine brands in a modern, 150,000 sq. ft., air-conditioned facility, this is your next step.

Challenge

You’re handed a work order with tight GD&T, OP. drawings, and a quality plan. From selecting jaws and tooling to proving out the first article, you own the process—measuring, adjusting, and refining until repeatability is locked in.

What You’ll Do

• Study work orders, blueprints, engineering/quality plans, materials, specs, OP. drawings; interpret GD&T .
• Set three- and four-jaw chucks; mount tools and attachments; load stock and set feeds.
• Perform turning, facing, knurling, threading (thread chasing), drilling, and grooving operations.
• Inspect first-run and sample parts; verify all settings against the OP. drawing and quality plan.
• Troubleshoot: measure, detect malfunctions, edit programs, adjust offsets/parameters, and replace worn tooling.
• Follow quality and safety procedures rigorously; maintain equipment via preventive maintenance and arrange repairs.
• Log production and quality results; communicate across shifts for seamless continuity.
• Keep learning—training, technical reading—and proactively find ways to add value.

Qualifications

• 2+ years operating CNC lathes and mills.
• Proficient reading mechanical drawings; strong grasp of GD&T and basic math.
• Program editing experience; comfortable with several machine brands.
• Proficiency in G-Code and machine setups for production runs .
• Plus: DMG/Mori Seiki NT4300/1500 turn/mill experience.
• Plus: exposure to gear manufacturing .

Machines You’ll Use

• CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
• CNC Lathe (5+ axis)

Impact

Your work directly supports flight-critical components for aerospace and defense platforms, where precision, safety, and reliability come first.
