  • Maintain adherence to AS9100D quality requirements, internal procedures, and customer specifications.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of CNC programming experience, with strong expertise in 5-axis programming and proficiency in 3- and 4-axis programming (lathe programming preferred).
  • Advanced proficiency in Mastercam for multi-axis milling and turning, with experience using VeriCut or similar verification software for program validation.
  • Solid understanding of machining principles, cutting tool technologies, and GD&T, with hands-on experience supporting program prove-outs on the shop floor.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints.
  • Strong organizational skills for preparing setup sheets, tool logs, and runbooks.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced aerospace / defense manufacturing environment.
  • Knowledge of AS9100 standards and customer quality requirements (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon).
  • Aerospace / defense machining experience preferred.
  • Must be able to stand for 60-80% of the work day
  • Continuous improvement mindset with exposure to Lean Manufacturing practices.
  • What We Offer
