About The Position

Every precision aerospace and defense component that leaves our shop depends on a clean, organized, well-maintained floor and a team that cares about the details nobody else notices. This role owns that foundation: keeping the shop running smoothly so the machinists can stay focused on the work that matters, and growing your own skills toward running parts yourself.

Ability to follow written and verbal instructions carefully and ask questions when something is unclear
Reliable attendance and a consistent, professional attitude on the floor
Eligibility to work with ITAR-controlled parts and materials (U.S. persons as defined under ITAR)

Any prior exposure to a machine shop, manufacturing floor, or fabrication environment
Familiarity with basic hand tools, measuring instruments, or shop equipment
Coursework or certification in machining, manufacturing technology, or a related trade

Responsibilities

Keep the shop environment clean, organized, and safe: sweeping chips, wiping down machines, and maintaining 5S standards at every workstation every day.
Change machine filters, check coolant levels, top off fluids, and perform other light preventive maintenance tasks as directed, building a working knowledge of how the equipment stays healthy.
Assist machinists with loading and unloading parts, fixturing, and moving materials and work orders between workstations, inspection, and storage.
Learn to load, run, and check a part, starting with the basics of setup and in-process inspection under direct guidance from a machinist or supervisor.
Handle finished parts, travelers, and production records accurately, following our ITAR documentation requirements for controlled components.
Follow all safety protocols including PPE, lockout/tagout, and machine guarding procedures from day one, with the goal of knowing shop safety inside and out within your first 90 days.
