Jobot

A bit about us:

We are a Tier 1 aerospace and defense supplier producing highly engineered, flight-critical components and complex assemblies for military and space programs worldwide. Our work spans extendable refueling probes, landing gear, airframe structures and composites, proprietary tanks for fixed-wing and space applications, and main rotor and power transmission systems for rotorcraft. Specializing in life-limited parts, we are widely recognized as a premier machining source for programs that have flown on our customers' platforms for decades.

Why join us?

Medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k)

Looking for:
