Overview
We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense job shop in the Cincinnati area.
We build 1-of-1 components on a scale most machinists never see. Our smallest parts are the size of a suitcase. Many are the size of boats — complex weldments, castings, and exotic alloys where no two parts are identical.
Our floor is built for that work: Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), large-format 5-axis mills, and massive gantry mills, running controls like Heidenhain that you won't find in a standard job shop.
Why Join Us
- Hone your craft: Learn unique machines that let you work anywhere in the industry
- High impact work: 1-of-1 parts for high-stakes aerospace and defense programs
- Financial impact: Guaranteed 50 hours, optional overtime, profit sharing, employee ownership program
Compensation
- $34–$48/hr
- Unlimited optional overtime – guaranteed 50-hour week
- Up to $140k/yr (including shift differential and 50 hr schedule)
- 60-day review
Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift
- 1st shift: 5:00 AM–3:30 PM (M–F)
- 2nd shift: 5:00 PM–3:30 AM (M–F)
Responsibilities
- Setups: Independent setups on parts weighing thousands of pounds
- Rigging: Overhead cranes and heavy rigging to flip and position parts
- Prove-Outs: Run 1-of-1 parts on your own
- G-Code at the Control: Read, edit, and catch program defects
- Weldments & Castings: Machine welded and cast parts and adapt to their inconsistencies
- Blueprints & GD&T: Complex multi-view prints; establish your own datums and setups
What You'll Run
- Equipment: Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), large-format 5-axis mills, and gantry mills
- Brands: Union, Cincinnati, MTE, Bost, Tosh Ulin, DMG, OMV, Parpas, and Dinamika
- Controls: Heidenhain, Siemens, and FANUC controls
- Materials: Titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and advanced composites
You don't need experience on these exact machines. If you're a senior machinist with strong fundamentals, G-code fluency, and complex setup experience, your skills will transfer.
