About Axiom Engineering
Axiom Engineering is a Wichita-based aerospace manufacturer producing high-precision CNC machined components and small assemblies for major aerospace and defense customers. We run a clean, disciplined shop where quality and consistency matter—if you take pride in holding tolerance, inspecting correctly, and getting good parts out the door, you’ll fit in here.
This role is for an experienced machinist who can step in ready to run aerospace parts on 2nd shift.

Important – Read Before Applying (Not a Training Role)
This is not an entry-level or training position. You must arrive fully qualified to operate CNC mills in an aerospace production environment and meet the requirements below.
Minimum Requirements
3+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience in aerospace (3-, 4-, or 5-axis)
Ability to read engineering drawings, hold tight tolerances, and follow controlled processes
Self-directed, fast, accurate, and consistently productive with limited supervision
Professional Standards & Policies
We run a focused, distraction-free machining environment.
Cell phones: Not allowed in the machining area. Phones must be stored in a provided locker except during breaks/lunch.
Attendance: Be on time every day, return promptly from breaks/lunch, work full shifts, and take ownership of reliability.
Interview expectations: Arrive on time and prepared. Late or unprepared arrivals will cancel the interview.
If you’re unwilling to follow these standards, please do not apply.
Quality, inspection discipline, and output are mandatory.
