Job Description

Job Description

Precision CNC Machining Technician (Vertical Mills)

Where you’ll work: Placentia, California
When you’ll work: 1st shift or 2nd shift

Ready to build what flies?

Imagine contributing parts that help aircraft latching systems perform every time. Our client—an industry leader in aircraft latches with 80+ years of aerospace heritage—supplies high‑performance components to commercial, military, and space programmes. Their reputation, steady growth, and supportive culture offer room to develop your career while enjoying stability, competitive pay, benefits, and paid vacation.

Picture this scenario

You receive a new job order. You study the blueprint, confirm datums, and stage tooling. On a 3- or 4-axis vertical mill, you load the CNC programme, run the first piece, and check it meticulously with micrometers and calipers. A minor offset tweak brings a critical dimension into spec. You record results, maintain machine cleanliness and lubrication, and keep the production flow on schedule—every step aligned to strict engineering standards.

What you’ll handle
  • Set up and operate vertical CNC mills to produce precise components to specification.
  • Interpret daily production schedules and prepare machines and tooling for assigned runs.
  • Perform routine equipment maintenance—lubrication, cleaning, and inspections.
  • Adjust tooling and machine settings per CNC programmes to meet tight tolerances.
  • Inspect finished parts to verify blueprint and dimensional accuracy.
What you’ll bring
  • 3–6 years of production machine shop experience.
  • Competence in reading and interpreting engineering blueprints.
  • Hands-on ability with precision gauges, including micrometers and calipers.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and consistent machining quality.
  • Clear written and spoken English; able to follow technical instructions.
Why this team

Collaborative by design, this group values craftsmanship, reliability, and continuous growth—supporting your development within a well‑established organisation.

What to expect next

All successful applicants will be contacted within two working days.
