• Order Processing — Use JobBOSS to track production, update travelers, and prepare shipping documentation.
• Shipping & Receiving — Package parts, prepare labels, process shipments, and assist with receiving as needed.
• Cross‑Department Support — Jump in where needed to help the team meet deadlines and maintain smooth workflow.
• Maintain a clean, organized workspace and follow ISO/aerospace quality standards.

What You Bring

• 1+ year of experience in manufacturing or a machine shop
• Ability to read blueprints and follow detailed instructions
• Experience assembling small parts with hand tools and torque tools
• Familiarity with helicoils, inserts, and mechanical fastening
• Basic inspection skills (calipers, micrometers, visual checks)
• Experience with shipping/receiving in a production environment
• Comfort working in a shop environment and shifting between tasks
• Bonus: JobBOSS experience, aerospace/defense exposure, or precision machining experience

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Small, family‑owned shop where your work is visible and appreciated
• Laid‑back, friendly environment — T‑shirt and jeans are the norm
• Hands‑on, technically interesting projects for aerospace and defense customers
• Stable company with a reputation built since 1962
