Job Description

Job Description

Overview

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense machine shop outside of Anaheim, CA

We machine frames and structural components for defense platforms–true large-format work, on parts most machinists never get their hands on.

If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.

Why Join Us

  • Hone your craft: Get trained up on unique large-format gantry mills
  • High-impact work: Frames and structural components for high-stakes defense platforms
  • Financial impact: 45-hour weeks, additional overtime, night shift differential

Compensation

  • $30-$42
  • 45-hour week + additional optional overtime
  • Up to $100k/yr (including overtime)

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

  • Monday - Friday

Responsibilities

  • Setups: Load and verify programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures from setup sheets
  • Machining: Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers, including large-format work
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Adjust machine parameters, offsets, and tooling to hold tight tolerances
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Work from complex aerospace prints and customer specifications
  • Inspection: Precise measurement with calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments

What You'll Run

  • Equipment: Large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes
  • Parts: Frames and structural components for defense platforms

You don't need large-format or gantry experience. If you're a 3, 4, or 5-axis machinist with strong fundamentals and solid setup skills, we'll train you on the big machines.

Requirements

Requirements

  • 3+ years of CNC machining experience
  • 5-axis machining experience
  • Strong understanding of G-code and tool paths
  • Reads blueprints and GD&T
  • Runs own setups from setup sheets: programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures
  • Inspects own work with calipers, micrometers, and precision instruments
  • U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident) — ITAR-regulated facility

Preferred:

  • Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
  • Large-format or gantry mill experience
  • Experience machining large structural parts
