Job description

At Origin Precision Machining, we are building a Space Coast–based high-precision CNC machining firm specializing in tight-tolerance, multi-axis machining of many metals including titanium, Inconel, and aluminum components for aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing applications.

Our mission is to establish a vertically integrated, AS9100 and ISO13485 compliant, ITAR-ready machining operation designed from day one for quality, scalability, and long-term strategic growth. We are not building a job shop — we are building a precision machining platform engineered for flight-critical and mission-critical hardware.

Position Summary

The 5-Axis CNC Machinist is a highly skilled machinist responsible for setting up, proving out, operating, inspecting, and troubleshooting complex 3- and 5-axis CNC machining operations.

The successful candidate will be capable of independently taking a released job from setup documentation and CNC program through prove-out and production while maintaining dimensional accuracy, surface finish, productivity, and quality requirements.

Experience with DN Solutions DVF5000, DNM4500, or comparable 3- and 5-axis machining centers is highly desirable.

Essential Responsibilities

• Independently set up and operate 3- and 5-axis CNC machining centers.
• Set up complex workholding, fixtures, tooling, probes, and material.
• Verify CNC programs prior to machining.
• Safely prove out new and existing programs.
• Make appropriate G-code, offset, tooling, and machining adjustments.
• Understand 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis machining operations.
• Select appropriate tooling and machining strategies based on material, geometry, tolerance, and finish requirements.
• Optimize feeds, speeds, stepovers, depths of cut, and tool engagement.
• Troubleshoot tool breakage, chatter, dimensional variation, poor surface finish, and other machining issues.
• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, GD&T, and 3D models.
• Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspection activities.
• Work with Quality to resolve dimensional and process issues.
• Maintain accurate production, inspection, and traceability documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve cycle time, tool life, quality, and repeatability.
• Assist with development and improvement of setup documentation.
• Support FAI and aerospace documentation requirements.
• Work closely with programming, engineering, and quality personnel.
• Follow and support ITAR, ISO9001, AS9100 and ISO13485 procedures.
• Maintain equipment, tooling, fixtures, and work areas.
• Train and assist less-experienced machinists.

Required Skills

• Strong 5-axis CNC machining experience.
• Ability to independently perform complex CNC setups.
• Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, GD&T, and 3D models.
• Strong understanding of tooling, workholding, feeds, speeds, and cutting strategies.
• Ability to prove out and troubleshoot CNC programs.
• Ability to make G-code and program adjustments.
• Strong inspection and measurement skills.
• Ability to work independently.
• Strong understanding of precision manufacturing practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• DVF5000 or comparable 5-axis experience.
• DNM4500 or comparable 3-axis machining experience.
• Mastercam experience.
• Aerospace/defense machining experience.
• Experience with titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, Inconel, or other difficult-to-machine materials.
• Experience with probing systems.
• Experience with CMM inspection.
• Experience with ITAR, ISO 9001, AS9100 and ISO13485 environments.

Advancement Expectations

The 5-Axis CNC Machinist should demonstrate the ability to develop complete machining strategies and independently program complex components before progressing to Level 4.
