Precision Machining Specialist Aerospace Motion Control

About KearfottSince 1918, Kearfott Corporation has powered breakthroughs in Aerospace and Defense. We design and build precision motion control products and inertial navigation components trusted worldwide across sea, land, air, and space missions.We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including a 401K and Tuition Reimbursement, plus a 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off.A day in this roleIt’s early in the shop. You open a new job packet, study the blueprints and operation sheets, and map out your approach. You prep a CNC lathe for a production run, dial in offsets on a 3–4 axis VMC, and then move to a manual mill for a tight-tolerance feature that demands a craftsman’s touch. Between cycles, you verify geometry against GD&T callouts, log measurements with precision instruments, and coach a junior machinist on setup steps. By the afternoon, you rotate to grinders, drill presses, or a hone as needed—keeping parts moving, tolerances tight, and quality uncompromised.What you’ll doSet up and operate a broad range of machine tools to complete single or progressive operations on standard parts.Work across CNC and manual equipment, including lathes, milling machines, grinders, drill presses, hobs, hones, kummers, burnishers, and balancers.Read, interpret, and apply blueprints and operation sheets to plan and execute work.Use shop math and precision measuring instruments to verify conformance to GD&T requirements.Troubleshoot CNC machines and assist less experienced machinists when needed.What you’ll bringHigh School Diploma or equivalent required.2 years of hands-on shop or manufacturing experience required; 3–6 years machining experience preferred.Experience running a manual milling machine strongly preferred.Completion of Technical School training preferred.Must be a US Citizen.Core proficienciesGD&TMechanical troubleshootingCNC machine setup & changeoverMachine setups for production runsTroubleshooting CNC machinesManual machining skillsEquipment you may runCNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) (Makino)CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) (Haas, Doosan)CNC Swiss LatheCNC Lathe (5+ axis)Pay based on level of experience and qualifications.Join usBe part of a world-class team recognized for technical excellence and end-to-end capability.
