Overview
We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision machine shop serving the aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor industries.
You'll hold extremely tight tolerances on stainless steel and aluminum components, running everything from 2 and 3-axis horizontal lathes to 3, 4, and 5-axis mills. Whether you're a dedicated CNC Mill specialist, a CNC Lathe specialist, or a versatile machinist who runs both, there's a spot for you here.
Why Join Us
Unlimited Overtime: Optional OT plus Sunday double-time. A real path to $100k / yr
New Ownership: Now part of an aerospace and defense startup investing in technology
Ground-Floor Build: Help build a shop making its name in defense aerospace
Compensation
$35 – $42 / hr
Unlimited optional overtime
$100k+ / yr (with overtime)

CNC Mills: 3, 4, and 5-axis
CNC Lathes: 2 and 3-axis horizontal

You can specialize in mills, specialize in lathes, or run both — any of the three works for us. Hardinge, Doosan, or Swiss-style lathe experience is a plus, not a requirement.

First Articles: Prove out first parts before releasing the job to production.
In-Process Inspection: Verify dimensions with micrometers, calipers, indicators, and bore gauges.
