About The Position

Are you passionate about human space exploration, understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a passionate and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you! We need your talent, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire people all over the globe. We need you to bring creative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will enable the exploration of space while benefiting people here on Earth. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on exciting challenges for NASA's pursuits in deep space exploration. As NASA's largest engineering solutions provider working together with NASA at centers across the United States. We have an exciting opportunity for a Machinist II to join our team! This is a CBA position with Amentum. The Machinist II will: Plan, layout, machine and assemble to precision tolerances parts and tools designed to meet exacting standards and specifications consisting of mechanical or specialty apparatus. Set and operate a variety of machining equipment such as engine and bench lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, job borers, grinders, hones, gear cutters, and drill presses, to fully utilize most functions of the machines. Plan and determine under supervision the sequence of machining operations, number of cuts required to obtain required finishes and tolerances, determine cutting tools to be used and method of holding and aligning work. Make complete layout on parts involving compound angles and exacting mating part work, to check for sufficient stock and for reference during machining. Set up machines to completely and independently perform any operations within their capacity. Select mount and align various specialized machine attachments and standard or improvised tooling. Determine, set, and adjust machine speeds, feeds and depth of cut. Select, mount, and fasten cutting tools for specified finish and best performance consistent with the type of material being machined. May be performed under direct supervision if complex, or independently. Check own machine set up and parts run for conformance to blueprint specifications. May be required to grind own tool bits and drills. May offer technical direction to engineers and customers on pre-fabrication, modifications, or repairs. Work from detailed drawings, templates, sketches, assembly blueprints, or oral instructions. Operate the machines to perform such typical operations as chasing all types of single and multiple external tapers; turning, boring, reaming, facing, slotting, etc., for any type of machine fit; machining parts involving compound angles or concentric and coordinated concave or convex surfaces to exacting tolerances; may include instruction from more experienced machinists. Ability to program and operate in at least one CNC language. Train less experienced machinists; general inspection of work. Maintain a clean and organized work area. Organize and properly store inventory, materials, and safety equipment. Use of lift equipment as required. Perform related duties as required.
