Each member of our workforce is an important financial stakeholder in our business. We know that it is our people who differentiate us in our chosen field of materials evaluation.

If you’re a highly skilled machinist who prefers quiet hours, steady focus, and the satisfaction of knowing your work powers the next generation of aerospace innovation—this night shift role is for you.

We’re seeking a highly capable and proven Night Shift Machinist to operate, set up, and maintain CNC and/or manual machining equipment that produces mission-critical components for advanced aerospace systems. Your precision keeps our days running—and our missions flying.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

  • Lead the setup, programming, and operation of complex multi-axis CNC and manual machines.

  • Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to design and optimize tooling, fixtures, and machining processes.
  • Conduct advanced inspections using precision instruments; validate critical dimensions and tolerances.
  • Resolve high-complexity machining issues and support root cause analysis for quality deviations.
  • Serve as a technical mentor and trainer for Machinist I–III team members.
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, and cost reduction.
  • Ensure full compliance with aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100, NADCAP) and internal procedures.
  • Participate in cross-functional teams for new product introductions and process validations.
  • Maintain detailed documentation of machining processes, setups, and improvements.

This job description in no way implies that the duties listed here are the only ones the employee can be required to perform. The employee is expected to perform other tasks as dictated by their manager or supervisor.

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:

  • High school diploma or GED required; associate degree or technical certification strongly preferred.
  • 5-10+ years of machining experience, including advanced CNC programming and aerospace applications.
  • Proficient in CAD/CAM software and multi-axis machining systems.
  • Expert in interpreting complex blueprints, GD&T, and aerospace specifications.
  • Experience with AS9100, NADCAP, and other aerospace quality standards.
  • Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods.
