Full Job Description

About Us

Advanced Structural Technologies (AST) is a leading aerospace manufacturer specializing in forged, spun, and machined components for the most demanding mission-critical applications in the industry. For over 25 years, we have built a reputation for precision engineering, innovation, and the kind of high-quality manufacturing that gets parts onto rockets, satellites, and defense platforms.

Located in Oxnard, California, AST operates out of cutting-edge facilities spanning over 250,000 sq. ft., including our newest expansion completed in 2024. We employ approximately 185 skilled professionals across multi-shift operations and continue to grow as the commercial space industry expands.

Position Overview

We are looking for a CNC Lathe Operator & Setup who takes pride in their craft and wants to work on parts that matter. This is a hands-on, high-mix, low-volume environment where every job is different, and the bar for precision is high. You will own your setups from start to finish—reading the print, selecting tooling, dialing in the program, and walking the first article over to QA with confidence.

This is not a button-pushing position. We need a machinist who can think through a tough setup, troubleshoot when something is not running right, and bring ideas to the table for how to make the process better. If you are the person other machinists ask for help, we want to talk to you.

What Sets This Role Apart

You will machine parts for the leading names in commercial space and defense—work you can point to and be proud of
High-mix, low-volume environment means constant variety; you will not be running the same part for months on end
Modern facility with continued investment in equipment and infrastructure (newest expansion completed in 2024)
Direct access to engineering and production leadership—your input on process improvements is heard and acted on
Long-term career growth in a stable, expanding aerospace manufacturer

Key Responsibilities

Own complete CNC lathe setups from blueprint to first article approval on complex aerospace components
Read and interpret detailed engineering drawings and GD&T to determine the best approach for each job
Select tooling, workholding, and machining strategies for high-precision turning operations
Edit and optimize CNC programs at the machine to improve cycle time, surface finish, and tool life
Verify part dimensions using precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, indicators, etc.) and ensure compliance with tight tolerances
Diagnose and resolve machining issues, tool wear, and setup inconsistencies before they impact quality or schedule
Maintain accurate setup sheets, tool lists, and inspection records to support repeatability
Collaborate with engineering, programming, and quality teams to refine processes and reduce cycle times

Qualifications

5+ years of experience setting up and running CNC lathes in a precision manufacturing environment
Strong proficiency with Fanuc controls; experience with live tooling or multi-axis lathes is a plus
Ability to read, edit, and write G-code at the machine
Deep understanding of turning processes, speeds and feeds, tool selection, and workholding strategy
Ability to read and interpret complex mechanical drawings and GD&T
Experience machining tight-tolerance parts in aerospace, defense, medical, or other high-precision industries strongly preferred
Experience with high-mix, low-volume or short-run production environments
Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and a commitment to quality workmanship
Ability to lift up to 45 lbs and stand for extended periods
High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training, apprenticeship, or trade school background a plus

Why Join AST?

At AST, we believe in fostering a work environment where employees can thrive both personally and professionally. We offer a competitive benefits package, including:

Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
401(k) Savings Plan
Company-Sponsored Life Insurance
Short-term and Long-term Disability Coverage
Paid Holidays
Paid Vacation and Sick Leave

Job Type & Pay

Job Type: Full-Time, In-Person
Pay Range: $35.00 – $50.00 per hour (commensurate with experience)

Hours & Schedule

Schedule: Monday – Friday (8-hour shift)
