Program, set up, and operate Haas CNC mills and lathes for precision tooling, fixtures, and production support parts. Create and modify Mastercam programs, including complex 2D and 3D toolpaths, using supplied CAD models and engineering drawings. Design and build custom fixturing, jigs, and tooling for one-off or prototype applications to support assembly and flight hardware operations. Perform manual machining (mills, lathes, drill press, surface grinders) for tool repair, modifications, or prototype development. Read and interpret detailed blueprints, GD&T callouts, and 3D CAD models. Select tools, calculate feeds/speeds, and verify machining parameters for accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability. Conduct self-inspection and first article verification to ensure part compliance before release to Quality. Collaborate with engineers, planners, and quality personnel to refine processes and resolve manufacturing challenges. Maintain work area organization, documentation, and adherence to 5S and FOD standards. Milling Machinist Level 3:
