Digital Fabrication Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

TFX is a design-to-manufacturing company based in Oxnard, CA, serving the aerospace, technology, and entertainment industries. We specialize in advanced composites, CNC machining, and large-scale fabrication — transforming complex creative and technical concepts into high-precision, real-world parts and assemblies.

We’re not a traditional job shop . Every project is different — often a one-off prototype or custom assembly — and rarely does the same part get made twice. Our work ranges from machining aluminum components to cutting full-scale composite tooling or sculpting vehicle models on our large 5-axis routers.

We’re looking for a hands-on CAD / CAM Engineer who loves design, fabrication, and problem-solving — someone who’s excited to create, adapt, and build things that don’t exist yet.

Compensation : $30 - $40 hourly

Responsibilities :

• Interpret and modify customer-supplied CAD models for manufacturability (complex surfaces, assemblies, and part adjustments).
• Design simple custom components for larger, more complex assemblies
• Create 3- and 5-axis CAM toolpaths in Fusion 360 or Powermill (or equivalent), selecting tools and strategies for unique materials and geometries.
• CNC setup and operation — from Haas mills to large-format routers.
• Participate in fabrication and assembly work — trimming, fitting, finishing, or integrating machined parts into larger builds.
• Collaborate with fabricators to ensure quality, precision, and design intent.
• Maintain organized CAD / CAM files and contribute to improving digital workflows.
