About the Opportunity:

Tree Top Staffing is partnering with a growing aerospace and precision manufacturing organization seeking experienced CNC Machinists to support complex machining operations in a highly technical production environment.

Multiple direct-hire openings are currently available across weekday 2nd shift, weekend day shift, and weekend night shift.

This is an excellent opportunity for machinists with experience in CNC setup, precision machining, multi-axis equipment, troubleshooting, and tight-tolerance manufacturing. Aerospace or other regulated manufacturing experience is highly valued, but candidates with strong technical foundations from other precision machining environments are also encouraged to apply.

The organization is continuing to expand its machining capabilities, add equipment, and grow its team. This is an excellent opportunity for CNC Machinists who want to work on challenging aerospace components and build a long-term career in a high-performance manufacturing environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Set up and operate CNC mills and/or lathes, including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis equipment.
• Work with large multi-axis machining centers and precision aerospace components.
• Machine parts from materials such as aluminum, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.
• Perform machine setups, tooling changes, work offsets, and production adjustments based on experience level.
• Read and interpret engineered drawings, blueprints, GD&T, work instructions, and router packets.
• Perform in-process inspections using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, CMMs, and other precision measuring tools.
• Make calculations, offsets, and machine adjustments to maintain dimensional requirements and tight tolerances.
• Monitor machine performance, tool wear, part quality, and overall production flow.
• Read and understand G-code and CNC control parameters.
• Make appropriate program edits and machining adjustments based on skill and experience.
• Troubleshoot tooling, machine, setup, dimensional, and part-quality issues.
• Verify part conformity throughout the machining process.
• Deburr parts and ensure finished components meet quality expectations.
• Maintain accurate setup, production, inspection, and maintenance records in accordance with quality requirements.
• Support root cause analysis, corrective action, and continuous improvement efforts.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area.
• Follow all safety, quality, and compliance requirements in a regulated manufacturing environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• CNC machining experience in a production or precision manufacturing environment required. 3 years of experience preferred.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, medical device, precision manufacturing, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment preferred.
• Experience setting up and operating CNC mills and/or lathes.
• Multi-axis machining experience strongly preferred, especially 5-axis machining.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, GD&T, and work instructions.
• Strong understanding of precision measurement tools and in-process inspection.
• Ability to work with tight tolerances and complex parts.
• Strong math, measurement, troubleshooting, and mechanical aptitude.
• Understanding of tooling, work offsets, feeds, speeds, machine parameters, and G-code.
• Familiarity with AS9100, aerospace quality standards, or regulated manufacturing documentation preferred.
• Ability to work independently with limited supervision.
• Strong attention to detail, safety, quality, and workmanship.
• Stable work history and a demonstrated commitment to long-term employment are strongly preferred.

Senior-Level Machinist Qualifications:

Candidates with advanced CNC machining experience may be considered for higher-level opportunities. Senior-level candidates should bring:

• 7 years of CNC machining experience preferred.
• Strong experience with complex setups, difficult precision parts, and multi-axis CNC equipment.
• Advanced setup, prove-out, and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Ability to work with little to no supervision.
• Strong troubleshooting ability related to tooling, offsets, machine performance, and part quality.
• Ability to read, understand, and edit G-code or CNC control parameters.
• Experience with difficult materials, complex geometries, or large precision components preferred.
• Experience training, guiding, or supporting junior machinists.
• Strong understanding of aerospace or regulated manufacturing documentation and quality expectations.
