CNC Machinist - 2nd Shift

About the role

GE Aerospace is looking for an experienced CNC Machinist for the 2nd shift to support advanced aerospace manufacturing. You will perform independent setups, operation, troubleshooting and in-process inspection on CNC turning and grinding equipment used to produce critical engine components. The role suits someone who wants to own setups, understand the process and help drive floor performance.

Key responsibilities

• CNC setup and machining: set up lathes, turning centers and grinders, including work holding, tooling, offsets and first-piece validation
• Operate CNC and grinding equipment, monitor process performance and make approved adjustments to maintain quality and dimensional control
• Dress grinding wheels, verify wheel and tool selection, and monitor tool and wheel wear and part growth
• Read engineering drawings, routers, specifications, GD&T and inspection requirements, and machine to tight tolerances such as runout, concentricity, profile and surface finish
• Make minor G-code edits as authorized and inspect in-process and final parts with precision measuring tools, documenting results and validating first-piece acceptance
• Troubleshoot issues such as chatter, taper, lobing, burn, size drift and runout, stop work and escalate nonconformances, and support containment and corrective actions with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality
• Complete production, quality and system documentation with part traceability and lot control, support first article inspection and work order transactions, and take part in kaizen, 5S and standard work

Required profile

• High school diploma, GED or vocational school certificate
• At least 5 years of machining experience in a manufacturing environment
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
• Age of at least 18, as the role may involve hazardous operations and shifts beyond a standard workweek
• U.S. export-controlled information access: must be able to prove U.S. Person status (lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, asylee or refugee)

Required skills

• CNC turning and/or grinding, including independent machine setups
• Machining to tight tolerances with precision measurement tools
• Preferred: aerospace manufacturing experience, First Article Inspection (AS9102), advanced materials such as ceramic composites, 3-axis and 5-axis vertical and horizontal machining centers, multi-axis turning centers and complex workholding

Relocation assistance is not provided. Employment is contingent on a successful drug screen (as applicable).
