Why This Role Exists

This role exists to support continued growth in aerospace and defense machining programs that require high-precision turned components. At H&H Machining Center, this position is critical to maintaining quality and delivery performance on tight-tolerance, flight-critical parts where machining expertise and consistency directly impact program success.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will set up, operate, and program CNC turning centers including Doosan PUMA 2600SY and similar machines, taking parts from raw stock through finished production. You will write and edit Fanuc CNC programs directly at the machine control while selecting tooling, establishing workholding, and optimizing speeds and feeds for both new and repeat jobs.

You will read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T requirements while holding tight tolerances of ±0.0005” or better on aerospace-grade materials. You will perform in-process inspection using precision measurement tools including micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and CMM systems. You will also troubleshoot machining issues such as chatter or dimensional variation and collaborate with engineering and quality teams to improve processes while supporting 5S and continuous improvement initiatives.

Machines, Controls & Software

• Machines: Doosan PUMA 2600SY and similar CNC turning centers
• Controls: Fanuc CNC controls
• Programming: Machine-level G-code programming and editing
• Inspection Tools: Calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, CMM

Materials You’ll Work With

• Aluminum
• Stainless Steel
• Titanium
• Inconel
• Other aerospace-grade alloys

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 7+ years CNC lathe / turning experience in a precision job shop
• Strong Fanuc control experience
• Ability to program parts from scratch at the machine
• Strong understanding of tooling, speeds, feeds, and workholding
• Blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Ability to hold tight tolerances (±0.0005” or better)
• Experience machining aerospace materials (titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, aluminum)
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools
• U.S. Person status required (ITAR compliance)

Preferred:

• Doosan PUMA experience
• Experience in AS9100D aerospace environments
• Familiarity with continuous improvement / 5S practices
• Experience with structured job shop workflows
