About the Opportunity

Step into a modern, climate-controlled aerospace machine shop where precision isn’t a buzzword—it’s the culture. You’ll join a Connecticut team with 60+ years of crafting complex components for commercial and military aircraft.

You clock in for 2nd shift, Monday through Thursday, and take ownership of a Matsuura 5-axis cell or a DMG Mori/Nakamura setup. You load tools, dial in offsets, and make smart edits to Fanuc programs to keep parts on-spec. You verify features with micrometers, calipers, gages, and comparators, document your work on job travelers, and capture lessons learned in crisp setup sheets. When issues arise, you troubleshoot quickly, communicate clearly, and keep production moving. Along the way, you help onboard teammates to safe and consistent operating practices—and leave your machine spotless.
