Job Summary

We are hiring skilled CNC Machinists to join our high-mix, low-volume aerospace and defense machine shop. In this role, you will machine mission-critical, tight-tolerance components for satellites, fighter jets, helicopters, and beyond.

Our machinists own their work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement.

Why Join Us?

  • Sign-On Bonus Available

  • Unrivaled Equipment:  Work with high-precision 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and lathes across the highest end brands

  • Fertile Soil for Growth:  A highly dynamic job shop setting where you have autonomy over your work

  • Premium Environment:  Do high-impact aerospace work in a facility that is modern, clean, and fully air-conditioned. Compensation

  • Starting pay negotiable and market competitive, and communicated through the interview process. Shifts

  • Day Shift

  • Monday - Friday Consistent Overtime

  • 10+ hours / week for those who want it

  • Rarely required for those who don't Relocation

  • Relocation assistance available

Responsibilities

  • Autonomy:  Setup, run, inspect, and document results across our floor, heavily utilizing advanced 5-axis machines and mill-turn centers.
  • Manual Fundamentals:  You don’t just rely on the machine; you understand exactly what the cutter is doing. You leverage deep manual machining fundamentals to troubleshoot chatter, read chip formation, optimize tool pressure, and tackle the most complex setups.
  • Strategy & Execution:  Select tooling, establish offsets, build bulletproof workholding strategies, and optimize processes.
  • Quality Control:  Hold tight tolerances from the first piece through the final run using manual micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
  • Programming Mastery:  Read, understand, and efficiently edit G-code and M-code on the floor to restore quality and maximize throughput.
  • Problem Solving:  Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and machine variables on the fly to achieve first-article success on both proven and unproven parts
  • Advanced Quality (preferred):  The ability to program/operate CMMs and independently conduct formal First Article Inspections (FAI) is highly preferred).
  • Advanced Programmer (preferred):  Experience fully programming from scratch in Mastercam is a plus but not required Requirements

Qualifications

Required

  • Experience:  8+ years in precision, tight-tolerance machining (more is always welcome).

  • Precision:  Proven ability to hold  .0005” (5 tenths / ~13 microns)  or tighter on critical features, and the manual skills to verify it.

  • Technical Fluency:  Deep understanding of complex blueprints and advanced GD&T (true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality).

  • High-Setup Environment:  Comfortable in shops where setup time is 30%+ of the job, frequently handling complex setups with 10+ tools.

  • Quality Background: Deep expertise of manual CMM's Preferred

  • Aerospace:  Strong tenure in Aerospace manufacturing and machining environments

  • Quality Standards:  Experience in ISO 9001 or AS9100 shops

  • Equipment Mastery:  Extensive experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills, mill-turns, and/or multi-axis lathes). Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision

  • 401(k) with match

  • PTO
