Why This Role Exists

This role exists due to continued growth in aerospace and defense machining programs requiring high-precision, tight-tolerance turned components. At H&H Machining Center, this position is essential for producing complex CNC lathe parts where accuracy, repeatability, and machining expertise directly support mission-critical aerospace and defense applications.

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. You will be responsible for writing and editing Fanuc CNC programs directly at the machine control, selecting tooling, and determining optimal speeds, feeds, and workholding strategies for both new and repeat production jobs.

You will read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, and work orders while ensuring all parts meet strict aerospace tolerances, typically ±0.0005” or tighter. You will perform in-process inspection using precision measurement tools such as micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and CMM systems. You will also collaborate with engineering and quality teams to improve machining processes and support continuous improvement and 5S initiatives across the shop floor.

Machines, Controls & Software

You will work with CNC turning centers including Doosan PUMA 2600SY and similar advanced lathe systems. Controls include Fanuc-based CNC systems, with programming performed directly at the machine. Inspection is supported using calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and CMM equipment for precision verification.

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 machine shop
• Strong Fanuc control experience
• Ability to program and edit directly at the machine control
• Experience with CNC setups, tooling, speeds, feeds, and workholding
• Strong 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)
• Strong use of precision measurement tools
• ITAR-aware working environment requirements

Preferred:

• Doosan PUMA experience
• AS9100 aerospace quality system experience
• Experience in structured job shop environments
• Familiarity with continuous improvement / 5S practices
