This position offers hands-on ownership of each project — from programming and setup through final inspection — in a fast-paced, prototype-driven environment.

If you take pride in craftsmanship, thrive on technical challenges, and enjoy working on complex, one-off parts instead of production runs, this role is for you.

Schedule

Monday – Thursday | 3:00 PM – 1:00 AM
(Four 10-hour shifts with a shift differential)

• Program, set up, and operate CNC mills (3- and 5-axis) and lathes to produce precision components.
• Take ownership of parts from CAD model and print through inspection.
• Interpret complex aerospace blueprints with GD&T.
• Create custom fixturing and maintain tight tolerances between .0002” and .002” .
• Perform self-inspection using precision measurement tools (micrometers, indicators, CMM, comparator).
• Adhere to AS9100 / ISO9001 quality standards and all safety protocols.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient workspace.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of CNC machining and programming experience.
• Proficiency in Mastercam (2026 or newer).
• Strong 3-axis milling background; 5-axis experience preferred.
• Familiarity with Siemens or Fanuc controllers.
• Experience machining aerospace-grade materials (aluminum, stainless, Inconel, titanium).
• Proven ability to produce conforming parts from model and print through final inspection.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and perform self-directed quality checks.

Preferred Experience

• Aerospace prototype machining.
• DMG Mori and Okuma machine operation.
• EDM experience and lathe operation.
• Plate work and flatness control.
• Background in AS9100 or ISO-certified environments.

Ideal Candidate Attributes

• Self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills.
• Strong communicator and team player.
• Takes pride in craftsmanship and precision.
• Comfortable working independently in a small, high-performance team.
• Passionate about continuous learning and professional growth.
