Placentia, California Shifts:

1st shift and 2nd shift A day in this role You clock in and review the day's production schedule for aerospace latching system parts. You stage tooling, load a 3- or 4-axis vertical CNC mill, call up the program, and run the first-off piece. With micrometers and calipers in hand, you verify every critical dimension, adjust tool offsets to nail tight tolerances, and document results. Between runs, you keep the machine in peak condition—lubricating, cleaning, and inspecting—so quality and uptime never slip. Throughout the shift, you interpret blueprints, monitor process stability, and keep parts moving smoothly to support assembly operations.
