DPI Inc. is a growing precision CNC machine shop serving aerospace, defense, industrial, and other high-specification customers. We are looking for an experienced CNC Mill Machinist who can independently set up and run CNC milling equipment in a job-shop environment.

This is not an operator position. We are looking for someone who understands the complete setup process and can take a job from setup instructions, drawings, and tooling requirements through a successful first piece and production run.

Responsibilities

• Independently set up CNC vertical machining centers

• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, tolerances, GD&T, and specifications

• Install and indicate vises, fixtures, tooling, and workholding

• Establish work offsets and tool offsets

• Locate part zero accurately using appropriate setup methods

• Select, install, touch off, and replace cutting tools

• Cut and prepare soft jaws and other job-specific workholding when required

• Load, verify, and safely prove out CNC programs

• Make appropriate offset and minor program adjustments as necessary

• Inspect first-piece and in-process parts using micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gages, bore gages, and other inspection equipment

• Maintain dimensional control throughout production

• Troubleshoot tooling, finish, dimensional, and process issues

• Perform multiple setups and operations as required

• Maintain accurate production and inspection records

• Work independently while communicating problems or potential improvements to supervision, programming, and quality personnel

• Follow DPI safety, quality, AS9100, and ITAR requirements

Qualifications — Required

• Previous CNC milling setup experience in a precision machining environment

• Ability to independently set up a CNC mill from start to finish

• Strong blueprint-reading skills

• Working knowledge of GD&T and close-tolerance machining

• Ability to properly establish X, Y, and Z work coordinates

• Experience setting tooling and making tool/wear offsets

• Ability to cut and set up soft jaws and common workholding

• Ability to inspect your own work and determine whether parts conform to print

• Ability to troubleshoot machining problems without constant supervision

Qualifications — Preferred

• Haas CNC mill experience

• Experience with 4-axis or 5-axis machining

• Experience machining stainless steel, aluminum, tool steels, nickel alloys, and other difficult materials

• Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience

• Familiarity with Fanuc-style controls

• Experience with low-volume/high-mix job-shop manufacturing

What We Are Looking For

The right person for this position is a machinist who can be handed a job and be trusted to work through the setup carefully and correctly. We value setup knowledge, attention to detail, consistency, and good judgment more than simply years in the trade.

DPI offers opportunities for experienced machinists to continue developing their programming, multi-axis, and advanced machining skills as the company grows.
