  • Machine tight-tolerance parts (±0.0005 and tighter) in titanium, Inconel, aluminum, and tool steels

  • Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, and engineering documentation

  • Optimize feeds, speeds, tooling, and workholding to improve efficiency

  • Collaborate with engineering and quality to troubleshoot and improve processes

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of CNC machining experience (5-axis required)

  • Strong setup experience — ability to own jobs independently

  • Experience in aerospace or other high-precision industries preferred

  • Familiarity with Fanuc, Haas, or similar controls

  • Experience with Mastercam, GibbsCAM, or similar CAM software is a plus

  • Strong understanding of GD&T and tight-tolerance machining

Why Join Us
