Overview
We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense manufacturing facility in the Cincinnati area.
We don't run high-volume small parts. We machine medium-to-large components, often unique fabricated weldments and castings in advanced materials, for top-tier defense and aerospace programs, in a climate-controlled shop.
You'll set up and run 3- and 4-axis DMG Mori and Mori Seiki mills and Doosan lathes with live tooling, all on FANUC controls. Every job needs its own setup and prove-out, and we train fundamentals-strong machinists on our equipment and proprietary processes.
