Why This Role Exists

This role exists due to continued growth, new customer programs, and expanded advanced machining capacity at Titan Advanced Manufacturing.

Titan supports aerospace, defense, fluid power, and advanced technology customers who require tight-tolerance, high-complexity CNC machining. This CNC Machinist position plays a critical role in taking parts from program to production, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and process stability across advanced multi-axis platforms.

This is not a production button-pushing role — it’s a craftsmanship-driven machining position with real ownership.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Program, set up, and machine complex CNC parts from print to completion
  • Set up and run 5-axis mills, mill-turns, CNC lathes, and Swiss equipment
  • Hold tight tolerances (±0.001 down to ±0.0001 depending on part)
  • Select tooling, workholding, speeds/feeds, and probing strategies
  • Load, edit, and optimize CNC programs
  • Perform in-process, first-article, and final inspection
  • Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and process issues in real time
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, and other senior machinists
  • Mentor junior machinists and contribute to continuous improvement

A machinist should be able to picture their full day in this role — problem-solving, dialing in parts, and making good parts efficiently.
