Skill Development & Advancement Opportunities What You'll Do:

Read blueprints and job routers to hit tight dimensional tolerances on complex aerospace hardware.

Write and adjust CNC programs at the machine using Mastercam and Solidworks.

Perform machine setups with a range of tooling — soft/hard jaws, collet chucks, specialty fixtures.

Machine and deliver high-quality parts in demanding aerospace materials (Hastelloy, Inconel, 17-4 PH, etc.).

Program feeds, speeds, and depth of cut to match material specs and tooling guidelines.

Measure finished parts using CMM, calipers, bore gages, pins, and micrometers before handoff.

Identify and stage tooling ahead of each setup to avoid machine downtime.

Partner with Manufacturing on troubleshooting, time estimates, and creative fixturing solutions.

Keep ERP documentation and time entry current for accurate scheduling. What Makes You a

Fit:

What You'll Have:

A shop full of experienced machinists and support staff who know this work inside and out.
