Machinist
$120k - $160kAmerican Turbines
About American Turbines
The power grid was built for a world that no longer exists. Centralized generation, hundred-mile transmission lines, decade-long permitting cycles. Meanwhile, demand is exploding: AI data centers, industrial electrification, remote operations that need megawatts yesterday and can't wait for utilities to catch up.
American Turbines is designing small modular gas turbines, purpose-built for distributed power generation. Machines designed from a blank sheet to be manufactured at scale, clustered in arrays, and dispatched in minutes. Hundreds of units operating in parallel, dynamically matching load like a compute cluster matches demand. We are a seed-stage company backed by the investors behind SpaceX, Boom Supersonic, and Hadrian.
About the Role
The Machinist will be the person who turns engineering models into finished hardware. You will run the 5-axis, own setups from raw stock to inspected part, and put the first prototype components in the hands of the build team.
You will work directly with the design engineers to make sure parts are machinable, tolerances are achievable, and the geometry coming off the machine matches the model. You will program and operate 5-axis CNC mills and lathes, set up fixturing for complex aerospace-grade components, and manage the full workflow from stock prep through finishing and inspection. When the team needs a part on the bench by Friday, you will figure out how to make it happen.
You will also be a partner to the engineering team on DFM. You will flag tolerance stack-ups, suggest geometry changes that cut cycle time, and push back on drawings that do not pencil. You are the last set of hands on the hardware before it goes downstream.
What We're Looking For
Skilled machinist with deep experience operating and programming 5-axis CNC mills, plus comfort on lathes and 3-axis equipment. Proficiency with CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360 CAM, NX CAM, or equivalent) and hand-edited G-code. Strong background machining aerospace parts: nickel superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy), titanium, and stainless. Comfortable with thin-wall work, deep pockets, and tight true position and profile tolerances.
Fluent in GD&T and precision measurement: CMM, bore gauges, surface profilometry, optical comparators. Experience with turbomachinery, aerospace, or motorsport hardware is a strong plus. You have built prototype parts in a fast-moving shop and know the difference between a production environment and an engineering environment.
