    Champion strong safety mentality and contribute positively to a collaborative team environment.
Required Qualifications
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands‑on experience in high‑precision, close‑tolerance machining, preferably within aerospace, defense, or semiconductor sectors.
  • Proven operational and programming proficiency (CAM software) with 5‑Axis Milling Machines, Twin Spindle Turning Centers, and Bridgeport‑style conventional milling machines.
  • Practical experience manufacturing components for demanding sectors, specifically Aerospace, Defense, and/or Semiconductor.
  • Demonstrated track record of successful interaction and partnership with engineering, quality, and management to drive project completion.
  • Proven ability to work in a fast‑paced, rapid‑turnaround environment while maintaining composure and quality under pressure.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience operating and setting up Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) equipment (Wire or Sinker).
  • Certification or advanced training in CNC programming and metrology.
  • Familiarity with ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality management systems.
