About The Position

Airbus is seeking a skilled and precision-driven Machinist II to join our Machine Shop team at the Mobile U.S. Manufacturing facility. In this role, you will fabricate high-tolerance aerospace components for A220 and A320 aircraft. The Machinist - Level II is an experienced role that will work with advanced multi-axis CNC equipment and classic manual machinery (milling machines and lathes) to shape the future of flight. If you are a passionate, precision-driven professional capable of working with minimal supervision, we want you on our shop floor. Meet the Team: The team at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing facilities help assemble the finest aircraft in the world, along three production lines for the A220 and A320 Family aircraft. On the shop floor you’ll be surrounded by individuals who are passionate about aviation and skilled in areas like electrical, structure and quality. Join our team and help build the next generation of aircraft. Your Working Environment: On ‘Airbus Way’ you will find the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility for commercial aircraft. Opened at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in 2015, the facility produces A320 Family aircraft and added a second product line for the A220 in 2019. The facility, which strengthens the U.S. aerospace industry, is part of Airbus’ strategy to enhance its global competitiveness by meeting the growing needs of its customers in the United States and beyond.

Intermediate computer skills, including proficiency with CAM software systems (such as Catia), CAD/drawing software, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.
Familiarity with CNC control interfaces (such as Fanuc or Siemens controls).
Proficiency with file generation and correction software like EnRoute or Gravostyle (creating/correcting DXF and GNH).
Full proficiency navigating ERP software (SAP) for job tracking, time charging, and inventory management.
Proficient in English Language (Ability to read, write and effectively communicate).

Nice To Haves

Active industry-standard machining certifications (such as NIMS CNC setup/programming).
Second language is preferred but not required (French, Spanish, German).

Responsibilities

Independently set up and execute complex machining runs from start to finish on a variety of multi-axis machines (including 3- and 5-axis CNC mills, multi-axis manual lathes, and specialized grinders).
Work confidently with challenging materials, including Titanium, pre-hardened steels, and advanced alloys.
Fabricate standard tooling and fixtures necessary to complete complex machining operations safely.
Read, write, and edit G-code fluently at the machine controller or through CAM software (such as Catia).
Create, review, and correct DXF and NC files using software like Enroute or Gravostyle.
Select optimal cutting tools, speeds, and feeds for efficiency and surface finish.
Interpret complex engineering plans, blueprints, and advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
Self-inspect finished components using precision measuring devices (micrometers, indicators, height gages, bore gages) to ensure strict adherence to close aerospace tolerances; objectively manage rework vs. scrap choices.
Interface directly with Engineering and Quality Assurance teams to resolve production discrepancies.
Manage work orders, time charging, and data integrity within SAP.
Maintain machine calibration tracking and flag maintenance needs.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with 5S standards and aerospace safety protocols.
