Job Description

Multi-Axis CNC Programming & Machining

  • Program and operate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling centers using Siemens NX and Powermill
  • Perform in-process probing and dimensional validation using PowerInspect
  • Machine complex components in aerospace alloys (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel, 7075 / 7050), engineered polymers, and composite interfaces
  • Develop optimized toolpaths focused on dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and cycle efficiency
  • Plan fixturing, workholding, and machining strategy for one-off space flight hardware
  • Verify machine setups, clearances, and reference points to prevent collisions

Engineering Collaboration & Documentation

  • Interpret EVA subsystem drawings, GD&T per ASME Y14.5, tolerance stack-ups, and interface requirements
  • Collaborate with mechanical design, systems engineering, metrology, and EVA integration teams
  • Support manufacturability reviews and provide feedback on material behavior and machining constraints
  • Build and maintain work packages including material certs, traceability, dimensional inspection reports, and traveler documentation
  • Precision Metrology & Verification

  • Operate forklifts, overhead cranes, and man lifts safely and efficiently
  • Participate in required training (Fall Protection, Machine Safety, JHAs)
  • Maintain strict compliance with safety standards, FOD control, and clean shop practices
  • Mission Schedule Support

  • Work independently with minimal supervision while delivering hardware on mission-critical timelines
  • Support delivery schedules with up to 60 hours per week based on program needs
  • This role operates in an aerospace manufacturing environment supporting NASA. Hardware produced contributes to astronaut survival, mobility, and mission success, requiring precision, ownership, and a systems-level mindset.

  • Experience with human-rated aerospace hardware, pressure systems, or thermal / mechanical interfaces
  • Experience in R&D, prototype, or exploration hardware fabrication
