At Regal Rexnord’s Aerospace & Defense business, your precision becomes part of engine systems, flight controls, landing gear, and airframe structures used by major engine and airframe OEMs, tier suppliers, and operators across the globe.

We’re growing fast and adding skilled machinists. You’ll earn $24.00–$33.00 per hour depending on experience, plus a $2/hour shift differential for 2nd & 3rd shift starting day one, comprehensive benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, STD, LTD, AD&D, Life), 401(k) with match beginning your first day, and educational reimbursement.

• Prep the work: machine and fit chuck jaws, load and secure tooling in turrets, and verify preset gauges are calibrated.
• Load programs, upload/download as needed, and make minor edits and offset adjustments for material, tooling, or machine conditions.
• Run parts, monitor quality, troubleshoot issues, and fine‑tune to keep the process in control.
• Inspect your own work and, at times, the work of peers; complete all required documentation and ERP entries.
• Collaborate with supervisors, programmers, and support teams; mentor less‑experienced machinists when needed.
• Support continuous improvement/RBS activities and operate multiple machines when production calls for it.
• Handle and stage components up to 25 lbs routinely; occasionally lift up to 50 lbs and remain standing through the shift.
