Job description

Machine Specialties, Inc. (MSI) is a leading contract machining and metal finishing company that designs and manufactures sophisticated, cost-effective solutions to meet our clients' most demanding challenges. We manufacture precision components for the aerospace, space, and defense industries. Our company is located in Whitsett, NC, about 8 miles outside of Greensboro, NC.

We are searching for an experienced CNC Set-Up Machinist who specializes in multi-axis mill/turn (turn-mill) machining to set up and run our DMG Mori NT integrated mill/turn centers. This is a specialized, hands-on role for a machinist who can independently take a job from blueprint to first article on these machines - not just load and run. This is an hourly position reporting to the Manager of the appropriate department.

About the Machines You'll Run

• Fanuc control - integrated turning and milling in one work envelope, running on Mori Seiki's MAPPS control (Fanuc-based).
• B-axis milling spindle - a swiveling B-axis milling spindle with a built-in motor, so you're programming and setting tools for true 5-axis simultaneous work, not just indexed positions.
• Main + sub-spindle - main and second (sub) spindle with synchronized part transfer - you'll set up done-in-one work, handing the part from the main spindle to the sub-spindle to finish the back side.
• Combined tooling - live/rotary tooling and turning tools together, plus a lower turret on some models - tool setup, offsets, and collision awareness across turning and milling in the same program.

What You'll Do

• Independently set up DMG Mori NT turn-mill centers from the blueprint - work-holding (chucks, collets, bar feed), tooling, offsets, and program - and bring the first article to print.
• Set and load all turning and live-milling tools per set-up instructions, and dial in B-axis positions, tool geometry, and work/tool offsets.
• Set up and verify main-spindle-to-sub-spindle transfer and synchronized (done-in-one) operations.
• Work to close tolerances and correlated dimensions, using probing and in-process gauging to hold aerospace-level accuracy.
• Machine to dimensions and maintain close tolerances while keeping production on schedule.
• Troubleshoot setups, tooling, and part quality; make adjustments and document what you change.
• Communicate with engineering and programming to improve setups and operations, and help develop best practices on the mill-turns.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience setting up and running multi-axis mill/turn (turn-mill) machines - Mori Seiki / DMG MORI NT, DMG Mori NTX experience strongly preferred; comparable Mazak Integrex, Okuma Multus, Nakamura, or similar turn-mill experience will be considered.
• Fanuc control fluency - able to read, edit, and prove out programs at the machine.
• 5+ years of CNC machining experience in a job shop, preferred.
• Experience with 5-axis CNC machines, and comfort managing turning and milling in a single setup.
• High level of blueprint reading and GD&T; strong grasp of tolerances, offsets, and correlated dimensions.
• Detail oriented with proven analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of G&M Code.
• Proficiency with conversational controls is a plus.
• Able to meet deadlines while working under minimal supervision, with a positive, professional, customer-focused attitude.
• Knowledge and use of hand tools and precision measuring instruments.

Physical Requirements

• Able to lift up to 40 lbs.
• Able to stand for extended periods (up to 10 hours daily).
• Able to work 45+ hours per week.
