Machine Setup and Operation: Assist in setting up and operating CNC machines, including loading tools, fixtures, and raw materials, and ensuring machines run at optimal efficiency.

Blueprint Interpretation: Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and specifications to develop accurate programs and ensure parts meet the required tolerances.

Quality Assurance: Perform in-process inspections and collaborate with quality control teams to ensure parts are within specified tolerances and meet the high standards required by the DoD.

Collaboration: Work closely with design engineers, R&D teams, and production staff to optimize manufacturability, solve technical challenges, and ensure seamless integration of components into the ASV systems.

Process Improvement: Continuously evaluate manufacturing processes, recommend improvements, and implement best practices to reduce waste and enhance productivity.

Ensure all work adheres to industry standards, regulatory requirements, and DoD specifications.

Safety and Compliance: Maintain a safe working environment and ensure all manufacturing activities comply with OSHA, ISO, and military standards.

Minimum of 3 years of experience in CNC programming, preferably in a high-precision manufacturing environment (aerospace, defense, or similar industries).

Experience working with CNC mills, lathes, routers, and other precision machines.

Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar).

Strong understanding of G-code, M-code, and other CNC programming languages.

Ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues with CNC machines, programs, and tooling.

Familiarity with military and defense specifications, standards, and regulatory requirements is a plus.

Frequently and repetitively, bend, lift and reach to install vehicle parts of varying size and weight overhead, accurately and in allotted timeframes.

Climb and maintain balance on ladders, platforms, or other high structures.

Exposures to hazardous materials and ability to follow waste handling/disposal procedures.

Wearing Personal Protective Equipment, including but not limited to safety glasses, safety shoes, hearing protection, gloves and adhering to prescribed safety rules and guidelines.

Medical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services.

Dental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care.

Time Off: Generous PTO and Holidays.

Industry-standard salaries with opportunities for performance-based bonuses.
