Descripción completa del empleo

We’re hiring CNC Machinists for a high-mix, low-volume precision shop supporting aerospace and defense programs. Expect complex prints, frequent setups, and tight tolerances where details matter—because these parts go into mission-critical systems tied to national security, not consumer products.
Machinists here don’t just run parts—they run the process. You’ll own work from setup through final inspection, applying GD&T, managing tooling and offsets, making smart program adjustments when needed, and troubleshooting until you’re confident the job is right. We value people who bring strong machining fundamentals, think clearly under pressure, and take pride in clean, repeatable work.
We’re hiring on 1st and 2nd shift and offer 10+ hours/week of overtime (always available, never required). If you want a shop where your skill and judgment matter—and where you can build a long-term career in aerospace—let’s talk.

Compensation
  • $24 – $32 / hour base
  • $3 / hr shift premium on 2nd
  • Up to $90k / year, with 10 hours/week of always available but optional overtime
Shifts
  • 1st Shift: 6:30am – 3:00pm
  • 2nd Shift: 3:00pm – 12:30am
Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO
Responsibilities
  • Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes in a precision, job-shop environment
  • Run work end-to-end: setup, run, inspect, document results
  • Interpret complex blueprints, routings, and work instructions
  • Apply GD&T to ensure parts meet critical functional requirements
  • Select tooling, set offsets, and build effective workholding strategies
  • Perform in-process and final inspection using micrometers, indicators, gauges, and other precision tools
  • Hold tight tolerances (including tenths-level features where required) and own part quality from first piece to final run
  • Read CNC programs and make edits/adjustments (feeds/speeds, offsets, tool comp, minor G/M-code edits as needed)
  • Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues to restore quality and throughput
  • Support both proven and new/unfamiliar jobs, dialing in processes efficiently
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and process optimization efforts
Requirements:
Technical
  • 3+ years of CNC machining experience in a precision environment (more is welcome)
  • Strong ability to set up jobs independently (tooling, offsets, workholding, first article approach)
  • Confidence reading and interpreting complex prints and applying GD&T
  • Proven experience holding tight tolerances and verifying them with manual inspection tools
  • Ability to read CNC programs and make practical adjustments to maintain quality and throughput
  • Read and write G/M-code (strongly preferred)
  • Solid machining fundamentals: speeds/feeds, tool selection, chip control, tool wear management
  • Strong documentation habits and a quality-first mindset
  • A steady, safety-minded approach—this work matters, and the standard is high
Cultural
We’re looking for people who want more than a job—they want to build a career in aerospace and defense. You’ll do well here if you’re:
  • Coach-able: open to feedback, hungry to improve, and humble enough to keep learning
  • Ownership-driven: you take responsibility for the work and don’t pass problems downstream
  • Craftsmanship-minded: you care about doing it right, even when no one is watching
  • Team-oriented: you communicate clearly, help others win, and learn from strong machinists around you
  • Growth-minded: you want to develop deeper capability over time—harder setups, tighter tolerances, more complex work
Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision
  • '401(k) with match
  • PTO
