KMM Group is seeking an experienced CNC Machinist – Mill-Turn (Set Up/Operator) to join our manufacturing team.
You will set up, and run multi-axis Mill-Turn machines to make complex, tight-tolerance parts. This is not a “push button” role — you will think through setups, tooling, and process flow to get the best results. You’ll work with different materials, solve problems, modify programs for improvement, and help improve how we run jobs every day.
***The goal is simple: make great parts, run efficient processes, and keep improving.***
🔧 What You’ll Do:
Primary Tactical Responsibilities:
· Set up and run multi-axis Mill-Turn machines (2–11 axis)
· Read prints, job folders, and plan the best way to run the job
· Dial in tooling, speeds, and offsets for best performance
· Inspect parts to make sure they meet tight tolerances
· Troubleshoot issues and improve the process as you go
· Make smart NC code edits when needed
· Keep jobs running on time and within expected cycle times
Bottom line: You own the process from setup to stable production.
Primary Strategic Responsibilities
· Think ahead and set up jobs for lights-out machining when possible
· Look for ways to improve cycle time, tooling, and setups
· Share ideas to make processes better, faster, and more reliable
· Help train and support other machinists when needed
· Keep your work area clean and organized
What Success Looks Like
· Setups run clean, stable, and repeatable
· Parts pass inspection the first time
· Machines stay running
· Your ideas improve the process
✅ What You Bring:
Minimum 5 years CNC machining experience (mill-turn environment preferred)
Strong understanding of multi-axis machining and setup techniques
Experience with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, or Siemens controls
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications
Experience with equipment such as DMG Mori (NLX, NZX series) preferred
High school diploma required; vocational training or apprenticeship preferred
Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to quality (98%+ yield targets)
Problem-solver with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize processes
Self-motivated and capable of working independently or as part of a team
Focused on efficiency, accuracy, and continuous improvement
