  • Program with Mastercam and CamWorks; simulate and prove out toolpaths.

  • Measure twice, cut once: verify dimensions using precision instruments and document results.
  • Care for the equipment: perform regular maintenance to minimize downtime.
  • Deliver to spec: ensure quality compliance and make data-driven adjustments.
  • Protect the team: follow OSHA and company safety standards.
Are you a fit?

  • Clear communicator who follows written and oral instructions.
  • Steady under pressure with proven problem-solving ability.
  • Comfortable interpreting complex engineering drawings.
  • Aerospace background and the ability to produce precision parts.
