About the Role

We are seeking a Master CNC Programmer / Machinist who thrives on complexity, enjoys solving challenging manufacturing problems, and has deep expertise in programming, setup, and machining of large, unconventional components.

If large-format prototype machining, hands-on problem-solving, and continuous process refinement excite you, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities

CNC Programming, Setup, and Machining

  • Write, read, prove out, edit, and optimize CNC programs at the machine control and through CAM software.
  • Program, set up, and operate a large vertical boring and turning mill equipped with a Fanuc CNC controller.
  • Manufacture one-off and prototype aerospace components from concept to completion, utilizing iterative trial-and-error refinement.
  • Apply advanced GD&T principles to ensure tight-tolerance dimensional accuracy.

Large-Part & Specialized Machining

  • Machine large, heavy, and irregularly shaped metal components (up to 100+ inches in diameter).
  • Safely rig, lift, and move components using cranes, hoists, and other material handling equipment.
  • Address real-time manufacturing challenges directly on the shop floor.

    • Continuous Improvement & Collaboration

  • Identify process inefficiencies, implement solutions, and document improvements for repeatability.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, quality, and production teams to streamline workflows and improve outcomes.

    • Ownership & Adaptability

  • Operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities may shift daily.
  • Take ownership across multiple disciplines, including machining, programming, problem-solving, and innovation.

    • Qualifications

  • 7+ years of CNC machining and programming experience using platforms such as Fanuc, Haas, Fusion, Mastercam, or similar.
  • Extensive experience machining large or complex aerospace components in both prototype and production settings.

    • Required Skills

  • Strong ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T.
  • Hands-on experience setting up and operating large CNC machines, horizontal mills, or vertical lathes.
  • Solid understanding of tooling selection, feeds and speeds, fixturing strategies, and material behavior.
  • Practical experience with rigging, cranes, and lifting equipment in a manufacturing environment.

    • Preferred Skills

  • Experience in prototype development, short-run CNC manufacturing, and R&D-driven environments.
  • Background in aerospace, defense, or precision metal manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with AS9100 and NADCAP standards is a plus.
