Job description

Join the team advancing aerospace precision

At Zenix Aerospace™, our mission is to deliver uncompromising quality and safety for the world’s leading aerospace companies. With eight locations across the US, UK, and Southeast Asia, we’re a trusted supplier for fuel‑efficient commercial narrowbody platforms. Decades of engineering heritage and a digital‑first mindset help us design and deliver structural airframe and engine components that keep aircraft and space systems flying—safely, reliably, efficiently.

Work site and schedule

Facility & Location: Ketema, El Cajon, CA
Shift: 2nd Shift (3:00PM - 11:30PM), Monday – Friday

Where you’ll make an impact
  • Transform challenging prints into precise parts by planning sequences, selecting tooling, and setting up 3–5 axis CNC machines: lathes, mills, VTLs, and a modified dual‑head mill.
  • Program adjustments and control optimization: set feeds/speeds, depth of cut, and coolant; resolve issues when automatic programming or controls misbehave (Fanuc or Mazak).
  • Execute accurate fixture setups—clamping, centering, and indicating—to secure workpieces and attachments.
  • Run test pieces, verify dimensions and tolerances, and refine the setup until everything conforms to spec.
  • Continuously monitor gauges and indicators; perform routine machine care (coolant checks, positioning) and maintain a clean 5S work area.
  • Validate quality using calipers, micrometers, and bar gauges to ensure conformance.
  • Contribute to Daily Management board topics: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Efficiency, and Utilization.
  • Identify improvements to machining processes and throughput; support Continuous Improvement initiatives.
  • Demonstrate reliability, teamwork, adherence to procedures, and a growth mindset open to feedback.

  • Strong shop math; GD&T proficiency; confident with feeds and speeds calculations.
  • Comfort with desktop publishing software and strong spreadsheet skills for analytical work.
  • Knowledge of machines, controllers, and tooling—especially Fanuc or Mazak.
  • Expertise in fixture setup and insert/tool changes for cutting operations.
  • Proficient with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, bar gauges).
Education & experience
  • High school diploma/GED or an equivalent blend of education and experience.
  • Vocational training or comparable hands‑on experience.
  • 5+ years of CNC setup and operation experience (or equivalent).
  • Mazak Mill/Turn experience required.

A supportive, close‑knit culture with market‑led base pay, comprehensive benefits, wellness programs, employee recognition, a matching 401(k), paid vacation, tuition reimbursement, and avenues for community involvement.
