No H1B
Security Clearance RequiredU.S. Citizen Only
Responsibilities
Receive engineering drawings and 3D models from our ME team. Program toolpaths in CAM. Set up the Haas UMC-1000SS. Cut parts. Inspect them. Ship them
Evaluate incoming manufacturing opportunities alongside engineering. Your job is to tell us what it takes to make the part — not whether we should try
When a job exceeds our in-house capability, identify the specific operation that needs to go out, recommend a sub-vendor, and manage that relationship
Maintain the Haas and Milltronics — tool changes, offsets, preventive maintenance, coolant management. These are your machines
Support rapid prototyping using 3D printing (Modix 120X) and foam cutting when jobs require mixed-method fabrication
Perform first-article inspections using the Sylvac CMM arm and produce inspection documentation to government spec
Work directly with our electrical engineer on integrated electro-mechanical assemblies requiring machined housings, brackets, or enclosures
Qualification
Required
Haas UMC-1000SS (or equivalent 5-axis VMC)
Simultaneous 5-axis programming and operation. Not 3+2 positioning only. You must demonstrate proficiency in full simultaneous contouring on trunnion-style 5-axis platforms. Must be comfortable with 12,000+ RPM high-speed spindle operations. If you have only run 3-axis with a rotary table bolted on, do not apply
Milltronics ML18/60 (or equivalent CNC/manual lathe)
Proficient in both CNC and manual modes. Capable of programming and running turned parts from 0.25 " to 19" diameter. Thread chasing, boring, and gap-bed operations required
Must be proficient in at least one of: Mastercam, Fusion 360 (manufacturing workspace), or SolidCAM for 5-axis toolpath generation. Must be able to go from 3D model (STEP/IGES/SolidWorks) to verified G-code with minimal hand-holding from engineering
Experience with portable CMM arms (Faro, Romer, or equivalent — we run a Sylvac/Kreon arm). Must be able to perform first-article inspection, generate inspection reports, and hold tolerances to customer specification
Minimum 7 years of CNC machining experience, with at least 3 years on 5-axis platforms
Proven experience machining aluminum 6061/7075, 4140/4340 steel, 304/316 stainless, titanium Ti-6Al-4V, and Delrin/UHMW plastics
Ability to hold tolerances of ± 0.001 " routinely and ± 0.0005 " when required
Proficient reading and interpreting GD&T per ASME Y14.5
U.S. Citizen (required for facility clearance and DoD work)
Must pass background investigation for Secret clearance
Must work on-site. This is a shop floor position. There is no remote option
Preferred
Large-format FDM/FFF 3D printing (we run a Modix BIG-120X V4 with 500°C capability for CF-Nylon and high-temp filaments)
CNC hot wire foam cutting (EPS/XPS — 3000 Shaper system)
Cerakote application and curing process
Basic welding (MIG/TIG) for fixture fabrication
Manual machining on Bridgeport-style mills and engine lathes
Active Secret or Top Secret clearance
Experience in a DoD prototype or LRIP (Low-Rate Initial Production) environment
Experience with Haas NGC control specifically
Naval systems, weapons systems, or UAS/drone hardware fabrication experience
Military veteran (any branch)
