Why This Role Exists

Synkronos is a small but rapidly growing aerospace manufacturing and engineering company expanding to support major new programs. The company is preparing to launch a $45M project while already executing additional multi-million-dollar work.

This role plays a critical part in building helicopters and next-generation flight vehicles from scratch. You'll work directly with ownership and help create machining processes from print through finished component.

This is not a production button-pushing role. You'll have ownership.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Take aerospace drawings from concept through finished part
  • Program, set up, and machine complex components
  • Develop tooling strategies and workholding approaches
  • Create and optimize Mastercam multi-axis programs
  • Edit programs and troubleshoot directly at the machine
  • Interpret legacy drawings from the 1970s–1980s
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and ownership
  • Perform first-article and in-process verification
  • Help shape machining processes as the company grows

---

Machines, Controls & Software

You'll work with equipment such as:

Machines:

  • Ibarmia ZVH 58
  • Doosan Puma 5700
  • Additional equipment added as growth continues

Controls:

  • Fanuc
  • Heidenhain

CAM Software:

  • Mastercam Multi-Axis

Inspection Tools:

  • Calipers
  • Micrometers
  • Indicators
  • Precision inspection equipment

---

Materials You'll Work With

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless steel
  • Aerospace alloys
  • Prototype and flight-critical materials

---

What We’re Looking ForRequired:

  • 7+ years CNC machining experience
  • Programming and setup experience
  • Ability to independently take parts from print to completed process
  • Strong blueprint and GD&T skills
  • Experience editing and troubleshooting programs
  • Comfortable in prototype or high-mix environments
  • Ability to work from older engineering drawings
  • Strong problem-solving mindset

Preferred:

  • Aerospace experience
  • Multi-axis machining experience
  • Heidenhain experience
  • Experience supporting prototype environments

---

Why Machinists Like Working Here

Machinists choose Synkronos because:

  • Extremely small team where your work matters
  • Direct access to ownership and decision-making
  • Flexibility with schedules and family commitments
  • Real opportunity to help build a company
  • Work on helicopters and flight vehicles from the ground up
  • Mentorship and support from an owner who still programs and machines daily
  • Fast growth and major projects already secured

---

Pay, Benefits & Schedule

Pay Range: $50–$65/hr DOE

Benefits:

Currently no formal benefits package, though leadership plans to add benefits as the company grows.

Schedule:

Monday–Friday
9:00 AM–5:00 PM

Flexible scheduling available:

  • Need to drop kids off? No problem.
  • Need flexibility around family responsibilities? The team works with people.

Overtime: As needed
