Job description

About the Team: 

The Materials and NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) team plays a central role in enabling Terran R to fly, re-fly, and scale: developing, characterizing, and inspecting materials and processes across all parts of the vehicle. From welding and additive manufacturing to advanced composites, the team works at the intersection of innovation and execution, balancing performance and reliability with cost, quality, and schedule. As we move toward first flight and beyond, the challenges become more exciting, offering opportunities to shape how we design and develop for re-use. With ownership across products, systems, and disciplines, engineers gain broad exposure and drive key decisions across design, manufacturing, and operations.

About the Role: 

  • Operate and program CNC lathes, mills, and wire EDM machines, ensuring precision in machining aerospace metal alloys
  • Utilize CAD software to create and modify designs, implementing CNC programs (G-code) for producing materials test coupons
  • Maintain, troubleshoot, and calibrate machining equipment, ensuring compliance with aerospace industry standards
  • Communicate effectively with engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders to translate project requirements into machining solutions
  • Work collaboratively with teams of varying technical expertise to optimize machining processes and troubleshoot manufacturing challenges
  • Develop and enforce standardized workflows for machine shop operations, including shift hand-offs and documentation of machining procedures

About You:

  • 2+ years of hands-on machining experience operating or programming CNC lathes, mills and/or EDM machines
  • Experience in machine maintenance, troubleshooting, and calibration to ensure optimal performance
  • Experience in using common inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, etc.)
  • Ability to interpret and verify engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical specifications using precision measuring instruments
  • Ability to adapt in fast paced environments

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Proficiency in CAD/CAM software and G-code programming
  • Solid understanding of machining best practices for aerospace materials
  • Strong oral and verbal communication skills
  • Strong understanding of tolerancing and measurement techniques in accordance with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) standards
