Aerodyn Engineering builds tight-tolerance, first-run aerospace and defense hardware — parts held to tolerances as tight as .0005″–.005″, in materials like Hastelloy, Inconel, and 17-4 PH — for large OEM aerospace customers with exacting quality standards. As a CNC Machinist/On Machine Programmer, you’ll own your setups end to end: reading the blueprint, writing or adjusting the program at the machine, choosing your tooling, and measuring your own work before it moves on. This isn’t repetitive commodity work; it’s complex, meaningful aerospace hardware, built alongside a shop full of experienced machinists who know this work inside and out. Aerodyn is AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 certified, serving the aerospace and defense industries with engineering, instrumentation, manufacturing, and testing services. What you'll be doing
