Job Summary

We are hiring skilled CNC Machinists to join our high-mix, low-volume aerospace and defense machine shop. In this role, you will machine mission-critical, tight-tolerance components for satellites, fighter jets, helicopters, and beyond.

Our machinists own their work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement.

Why Join Us?

Unrivaled Equipment: Work with high-precision 3-, 4-, and 5-axis mills and lathes across the highest end brands
Fertile Soil for Growth: A highly dynamic job shop setting where you have autonomy over your work
Premium Environment: Do high-impact aerospace work in a facility that is modern, clean, and fully air-conditioned.

Compensation

Starting pay negotiable, and communicated through the interview process.

Shifts

Day Shift
Monday - Thursday (4 x 10s)

Consistent Overtime

10+ hours / week for those who want it
Rarely required for those who don't

Relocation

Relocation assistance available

Responsibilities

Autonomy: Setup, run, inspect, and document results across our floor, heavily utilizing advanced 5-axis machines and mill-turn centers.
Manual Fundamentals: You don't just rely on the machine; you understand exactly what the cutter is doing. You leverage deep manual machining fundamentals to troubleshoot chatter, read chip formation, optimize tool pressure, and tackle the most complex setups.
Strategy & Execution: Select tooling, establish offsets, build bulletproof workholding strategies, and optimize processes.
Quality Control: Hold tight tolerances from the first piece through the final run using manual micrometers, indicators, and precision gauges.
Programming Mastery: Read, understand, and efficiently edit G-code and M-code on the floor to restore quality and maximize throughput.
Problem Solving: Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and machine variables on the fly to achieve first-article success on both proven and unproven parts
Advanced Quality (preferred): The ability to program/operate CMMs and independently conduct formal First Article Inspections (FAI) is highly preferred).
Advanced Programmer (preferred): Experience fully programming from scratch in Mastercam is a plus but not required

Requirements

Qualifications

Required

Experience: 3+ years in precision, tight-tolerance machining (more is always welcome).
Precision: Proven ability to hold .0005" (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, and the manual skills to verify it.
Technical Fluency: Deep understanding of complex blueprints and advanced GD&T (true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality).
High-Setup Environment: Comfortable in shops where setup time is 30%+ of the job, frequently handling complex setups with 10+ tools.

Preferred

Aerospace: Strong tenure in Aerospace manufacturing and machining environments
Quality Standards: Experience in ISO 9001 or AS9100 shops

Equipment Mastery: Extensive experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills, mill-turns, and/or multi-axis lathes).

Benefits

Medical, dental, vision
401(k) with match
