Job Type: Contract-to-Hire Start Date: ASAP Keywords: #Valenciajobs; #CNCMachinistJobs; Weekends Fri-Sun: 6am-6pm Job Description A leading aerospace manufacturing company in Valencia, CA is hiring experienced CNC Machinists to support weekend production. This is a great opportunity for machinists who want a stable, long-term opportunity with competitive pay, a consistent weekend schedule, and the chance to work on high-precision aerospace components in a clean, safety-focused manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience operating and setting up CNC mills and/or lathes, reading blueprints, performing in-process inspections, making offset adjustments, and holding tight tolerances in a production setting. Candidates with aerospace, defense, precision machining, or high-quality manufacturing experience are strongly encouraged to apply. What You'll Do Operate CNC mills, lathes, and/or multi-axis machining equipment to produce precision aerospace components. Perform machine setups, tool changes, offset adjustments, and basic troubleshooting to keep production running efficiently. Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, routers, travelers, and inspection requirements. Use precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators, height gauges, depth mics, and comparators. Perform in-process inspections and verify parts meet dimensional and quality requirements. Maintain tight tolerances and support production goals related to quality, scrap reduction, output, and customer commitments. Follow all shop safety procedures, quality standards, and documentation requirements. Support a high-production weekend shift team focused on backlog reduction, efficiency, and consistent performance. What We're Looking For High School Diploma or GED required. CNC machining experience in a manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or precision production environment. Experience with CNC mills, CNC lathes, or both. Ability to perform setups, adjust offsets, change tooling, and inspect your own work. Ability to read blueprints and understand basic GD&T. Experience holding tight tolerances in a production environment. Comfortable working independently and staying productive on a weekend shift schedule. Must be available to work one of the above shifts. Must be able to work onsite in Valencia, CA. Must meet ITAR facility requirements. Must be able to complete a 7-year background check and 5-panel drug screen. Preferred Experience: Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience. Experience with Haas, Mori Seiki, Okuma, Doosan, Makino, Mazak, Fanuc controls, CNC mills, CNC lathes, 4-axis, 5-axis, or mill-turn equipment. First article inspection experience. Experience with tight-tolerance machining, production troubleshooting, program edits, speed/feed adjustments, and continuous improvement. Why This Opportunity Stands Out: This is a strong opportunity for CNC machinists who want steady weekend work with a respected aerospace manufacturer. You will support critical production work, gain exposure to precision aerospace manufacturing, and have the opportunity to grow into a long-term role through a contract-to-hire path. If you are a dependable CNC Machinist with strong setup, machining, inspection, and blueprint-reading experience, this weekend shift opportunity could be a great fit.
