Why Work Here?
You will join a smaller, close-knit aerospace-focused shop that offers genuine opportunities to grow into a skilled trade. The environment emphasizes hands-on training, especially for individuals starting in deburring or assembly, with clear paths to learn how to run machines and expand technical capabilities. Team members benefit from exposure to unique and interesting projects, including government and military-grade work, in a setting that values development, mentorship, and long-term career growth.
Work Environment
The role is based in a small, wide-open shop located near a major highway, equipped with newer Haas mill machines and Citizen Swiss machines, as well as an older horizontal Haas mill used for this position.
