About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Aerospace Plater / Electroplating Technician with hands-on expertise in Hard Chrome, Thin Dense Chrome (TDC), Cadmium, Copper, and Electroless Nickel plating. This role is critical to supporting FAA-regulated aerospace components and high-reliability industrial parts. If you have a background in aerospace plating, metal finishing, or NADCAP environments, this is a strong opportunity to grow with a stable, high-demand operation in the San Fernando Valley region.

Requirements

  • Experience in electroplating, metal finishing, or surface treatment
  • Hands-on expertise with masking, fixturing, and tooling fabrication
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specs
  • Strong understanding of process control, tolerances, and quality standards
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing environments preferred
  • Familiarity with NADCAP, FAA, or AS9100 standards is a plus
  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, production-driven environment
  • Strong team collaboration and communication skills

Nice To Haves

  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing environments preferred
  • Familiarity with NADCAP, FAA, or AS9100 standards is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Perform full-cycle electroplating operations: preparation, masking, fixturing, plating, and teardown
  • Execute Hard Chrome, Thin Dense Chrome (TDC), Cadmium, Copper, and Electroless Nickel plating processes
  • Prepare parts via cleaning, surface prep, and precision masking
  • Design and build anodes, racks, fixtures, and tooling for complex geometries
  • Conduct ID (inner diameter) and OD (outer diameter) plating
  • Set up and operate plating tanks, rectifiers, and process equipment
  • Monitor and control plating parameters (temperature, current density, time, chemistry)
  • Apply advanced masking techniques to protect critical aerospace surfaces
  • Perform assembly, fixturing, and post-process teardown
  • Complete travelers, work orders, and process documentation accurately
  • Maintain clean, organized, and compliant work areas (5S / safety standards)
  • Collaborate with Quality, Engineering, and Production teams to meet strict aerospace requirements
