Overview
We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense job shop in the Cincinnati area.
We build 1-of-1 components on a scale most machinists never see. Our smallest parts are the size of a suitcase. Many are the size of boats — complex weldments, castings, and exotic alloys where no two parts are identical.
Our floor is built for that work: Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), large-format 5-axis mills, and massive gantry mills, running controls like Heidenhain that you won't find in a standard job shop.
