Why this job is worth considering

Major Tool & Machine needs an experienced Mazak 670 machinist who can take real ownership of complex aerospace work from programming through final inspection. This isn't an operator seat running someone else's cycle — you'll make on-the-fly program adjustments, handle your own setups and tooling, and see custom, one-off precision parts through to a finished, inspected piece. If you take pride in precision and accountability on genuinely difficult work, this is built for you.

What you'll be doing

• Perform MDI programming and make on-the-fly adjustments on Mazak 670 equipment
• Run programs provided by a CNC programmer and optimize them at the machine as needed
• Complete full setups, tooling selections, offsets, and part prove-outs
• Troubleshoot machining challenges, including rigidity issues, chatter, tooling failures, and process flow
• Read and interpret detailed aerospace prints and GD&T
• Conduct precise in-process and final inspections
• Produce high-tolerance custom and one-off aerospace parts
• Work confidently with horizontal turning processes

Machines, controls and software

This role runs on Mazak 670 horizontal turning/mill-turn equipment, producing custom and one-off aerospace parts rather than repetitive production runs.

What we're looking forRequired

• Strong aerospace machining background
• Experience with custom, one-off work — this is not a production-line operator role
• Ability to independently manage complex parts from start to finish, including programming, setup, and inspection
• Comfortable reading detailed aerospace prints and GD&T

Pay, benefits and schedule

Competitive base pay starting at $30+/hour, based on skill and experience. Day-shift schedule, with time-and-a-half after 40 hours and double-time after 48 hours.
