Job Description
Step into a day building flight‑critical hardware
It’s 5:00 AM in Placentia, California and a vertical CNC hums to life. You review the work orders, stage tooling, and load the program. By first part inspection, you’ve dialed in the offsets and hit the tolerance dead on. Whether you prefer the rhythm of 1st (5:00 AM – 1:30 PM), the focus of 2nd (1:00 PM – 9:30 PM), or the quiet precision of 3rd (9:00 PM – 5:30 AM), you’ll run 8-hour shifts with optional overtime to keep missions on schedule.
Where you’ll make an impactJoin a leading designer and manufacturer of aircraft latches and latching systems with over 80 years of aerospace heritage. Their components fly on commercial, military, and space programs. Consistent growth, a collaborative culture, and long-term stability mean real opportunities to advance—paired with competitive pay, benefits, and paid vacation.
Your mission- Set up and operate vertical CNC machines to produce precision parts to specification.
- Review the daily production schedule and prepare machines, tooling, and materials for assigned job orders.
- Perform routine care—lubrication, cleaning, and visual checks—to keep equipment in peak condition.
- Fine-tune tooling, offsets, and machine parameters per CNC programs to hold tight tolerances.
- Verify finished components meet blueprint and dimensional requirements through in-process and final inspection.
- 3–6 years of machine shop experience in a production setting.
- Fluency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings/blueprints.
- Proficiency with precision metrology tools (micrometers, calipers, etc.).
- Meticulous attention to detail and a track record of consistent quality.
- Clear spoken and written English and the ability to follow technical instructions.
This position contributes directly to the assembly of aerospace latching systems by producing precision components across Milling, Lathe, Swiss, or Mill‑Turn operations.
Why you’ll like it here- Collaborative environment with mentorship and progression pathways.
- Decades of aerospace reliability providing long-term stability.
- Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and paid vacation.
All successful applicants will be contacted within two working days.
