Company Overview
RivCut is a precision CNC machining shop in Union City, CA, serving aerospace, defense, medical, and robotics customers on a build-to-print model with a full Haas machine fleet. We hold ourselves to aerospace-grade quality standards and are actively working toward AS9100D certification.
Job Summary
We're hiring one Senior Prototype Machinist, and we're only looking for the best. This is a lead-track role: the person we bring on will grow into building and running their own team on the shop floor as RivCut scales. If you take real pride in tight-tolerance work and want a genuine path to leadership rather than just another seat on the floor, this role is built for you.
Pay: $35 to $50 per hour, depending on experience
Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM
Responsibilities
- Set up and run CNC mills and lathes (Haas) to produce prototype and low-volume production parts to print
- Read and interpret complex blueprints, including GD&T callouts, with zero ambiguity
- Hold tight tolerances on difficult materials and complex geometries with minimal oversight
- Inspect your own work using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM as needed
- Troubleshoot setup and process issues on the fly to keep jobs moving
- Partner with engineering on manufacturability feedback for new designs
- Mentor and, over time, lead a growing team of machinists as RivCut adds headcount
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on prototype or low-volume CNC machining experience
- Strong GD&T and blueprint reading skills
- Comfortable running Haas controls
- A track record of holding tight tolerances without hand-holding
- Someone who wants to grow into a leadership role, not just run a machine
- CAM programming experience is a plus but not required
Important: RivCut performs build-to-print work for aerospace and defense customers and is registered for export-controlled work. Due to federal export control (ITAR) requirements, applicants must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or other protected individual as defined by 22 CFR 120.15).
Benefits
- Paid time off after 1,000 hours worked
- A real path to a lead or supervisory role as the shop grows
We'd rather leave this seat open than fill it with someone who isn't exceptional. If that's you, we want to hear from you.
Pay: $35.00 - $50.00 per hour
