    Job Description

    Ready to solve complex machining challenges?

    If you can take a print, choose a strategy, lock in a setup, and deliver a repeatable process, we want you on our aerospace team. Imagine kicking off the week on a 5‑axis mill, switching to a turning center for a critical feature, and finishing with a precision grind—all in a spotless, modern environment where quality beats quantity.

    What success looks like

    1. You quickly interpret blueprints and specifications, then plan safe, efficient operations.
    2. Your setups are solid, your first articles pass, and your processes run stable.
    3. You use advanced gauges to verify dimensions and keep tight tolerances on track.
    4. You communicate offsets, tooling changes, and improvement ideas clearly.

    Your background

    • 1+ years operating CNC lathes, mills, or grinders (4+ preferred; proven skill matters most)
    • Required: hands‑on CNC setup experience
    • Inspection experience and familiarity with GD&T (nice to have, not mandatory)
    • Experience from aerospace, medical, tool & die, automotive, or job shops all welcome

    Technology you may touch

    • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) and CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
    • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) and CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
    • CNC Swiss Lathe
    • CNC Grinder

    Schedule and growth

    Roles open on all three shifts; first shift is limited. Advance with 100% tuition reimbursement, mentorship, and exposure to multi‑axis and special processes.

    Rewards

    • 7% bonus paid out in 2024
    • Five medical plans, 100% dental, vision, and 401(k) with immediate vesting
    • 13 paid holidays + up to 28 days PTO
    • Work that flies—supporting commercial and defense applications
    • Stable, 70+ year privately held company—no Wall Street pressure
    • World‑class, clean aerospace facility (not a job shop)
