Step into a day in your next shop

You badge in, the air is cool and clean, and the hum of advanced CNC equipment sets the pace. On one side, operators keep precision parts moving. Across the aisle, a setup pro dials in a lathe for a new aerospace run. In engineering, a programmer refines toolpaths to shave seconds off cycle time. Downstream, a meticulous inspector checks critical features with precision gauges—and smiles when the CMM report comes back green.

This is an established aerospace manufacturer in Rochester, NY—known for a climate‑controlled, modern machining environment, long‑term stability, and steady growth. Overtime opportunities are consistent, and nights come with a 10% shift differential.
