About this role

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense machine shop outside of Anaheim, CA

We machine frames and structural components for defense platforms–true large-format work, on parts most machinists never get their hands on.

If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.

Setups: Load and verify programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures from setup sheets
Machining: Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers, including large-format work
Dimensional Accuracy: Adjust machine parameters, offsets, and tooling to hold tight tolerances
Blueprints & GD&T: Work from complex aerospace prints and customer specifications
Inspection: Precise measurement with calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments
What You'll Run
Equipment: Large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes
Parts: Frames and structural components for defense platforms
You don't need large-format or gantry experience. If you're a 3, 4, or 5-axis machinist with strong fundamentals and solid setup skills, we'll train you on the big machines.

3+ years of CNC machining experience
5-axis machining experience
Strong understanding of G-code and tool paths
Reads blueprints and GD&T
Runs own setups from setup sheets: programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures
Inspects own work with calipers, micrometers, and precision instruments
U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident) — ITAR-regulated facility Preferred:
Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
Large-format or gantry mill experience
