Why Join Kalman Manufacturing?

If you’re an experienced CNC operator who can take ownership of a job and keep production moving without constant supervision, Kalman Manufacturing offers a strong opportunity in a modern Silicon Valley machine shop.

Kalman has been in business for more than 38 years and operates a 42,000-square-foot precision manufacturing facility in Morgan Hill.

And with a Monday-through-Thursday day shift, you’ll have a three-day weekend every week.
