AeroSpec Inc, Chandler, AZ, United States


CNC Mill Machinist – Prototype & Short-Run (Programming Required)
Chandler, AZ | Full-Time | 1st Shift (7:00 AM – 3:30 PM) + Overtime

If you’re a CNC machinist who enjoys

variety, problem-solving, and building something new every day , this is not your typical production role.

At

AeroSpec , you won’t be running the same part over and over, you’ll be

programming, setting up, and machining custom prototype and short-run components

that go into advanced automated systems used across aerospace, medical, defense, and high-tech industries.

Why This Role Stands Out

No repetitive production work

– every job is different

Own your process

– program, setup, and machine your own parts

Work directly with engineers

on custom builds and problem-solving

Grow your skills

with mentorship and formal training

Stable, established company

(40+ years) with cutting-edge projects

What You’ll Do

Program, set up, and machine prototype and short-run parts on CNC vertical mills (HAAS VMC FANUC)

Work from engineering drawings and CAD models to produce high-precision components

Select tooling, set offsets, and optimize machining processes

Troubleshoot and resolve machining, tooling, and programming challenges

Inspect your own work using precision measuring tools

Collaborate with engineering and production teams to bring designs to life

What You Bring

CNC Programming experience (minimum 2 years required)

3+ years operating CNC vertical mills

Strong ability to

read blueprints, specs, and GD&T

Experience with

setups, offsets, and tool compensation

Solid understanding of

machining processes and quality standards

Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail

Bonus Points For:

Experience with

Mastercam or SURFCAM

Familiarity with

SolidWorks or AutoCAD

Manual machining experience (mills/lathes)

What You’ll Get

Competitive pay (based on experience)

100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision for employees

401(k) with 50% company match

Tuition reimbursement + formal technical training

Paid time off + holidays

Team-oriented, hands-on environment where your work matters
