Full Job Description

Who We Are We are not your grandfather’s machine shop. Vinaco is a veteran-founded, high-growth tech company that happens to make mission-critical aerospace and defense components. We are building an AI-driven, AS9100-certified smart factory from the ground up.

The Role: The Adaptive Builder We are looking for a highly driven team member who thrives on variety and wants to build this company from the ground floor. In a standard shop, you might push a button all day. Not here. We are a lean, agile team, and we are looking for someone with raw mechanical aptitude and a hunger to learn the ins and outs of advanced manufacturing.

Machining Operations: You aren't expected to program or set up the 5-axis machines right away. Your initial job is to keep the spindles turning. You will learn to properly load and unload complex aerospace components, perform routine in-process checks, and immediately flag any anomalies to our engineering team.
Process & Production Support: You will assist our engineers in optimizing how we build. This means helping assemble custom fixtures, maintaining a clean workspace, and helping to write and test Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and work instructions.
Assembly: You will train in our clean assembly area, learning to meticulously install Helicoils and specialized aerospace hardware into high-dollar components, ensuring zero defects during the physical build process.
Quality Assurance: You will shadow our QA team to become our next line of defense. You'll learn how to use precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers), inspect for microscopic FOD (Foreign Object Debris), and help compile compliance paperwork for defense contractors.

What We Offer (Why You Want to Work Here)

High-Impact Career Acceleration: In a traditional corporate shop, it can take years just to be allowed near an advanced 5-axis machine. Here, we will heavily accelerate your training. We need a sharp problem-solver we can mold into a manufacturing expert as we scale.
The "Ground Floor" Financial Upside: You are not employee #500; you are a foundational hire. While our starting base reflects an entry-level role, the people who build this factory with us and prove their worth will be first in line for accelerated salary increases and growth opportunities.
Bleeding-Edge Technology: You will gain hands-on experience in a true smart factory, working alongside industrial robots, advanced CNCs, and lights-out automation equipment.
Path to Engineering & Programming: Your career trajectory is uncapped. If you crush the mission, we will actively cross-train you, providing a direct pathway to learning CAD/CAM systems, advanced CNC programming, and eventually stepping into an Engineering or Management role.
Veteran-Led Culture: No corporate BS. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, and getting the mission done.
The Environment: A clean, organized, high-tech shop floor. We invest heavily in top-tier tools, technology, and our people.

Required Baseline Skills (What You Need on Day One)

Mechanical Aptitude: You have steady hands, know your way around basic hand tools, and have a natural curiosity for how things are built and take apart.
Trainability: You might not know Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) yet, but you have the intellect and drive to learn how to read complex aerospace blueprints and use precision measurement tools.
Extreme Attention to Detail: You double-check your work naturally. You understand that in aerospace, a single mistake can ground an aircraft.
Basic Tech Literacy: Comfortable using computers to review documents, input data, and follow digital work instructions.
ITAR Compliance: Must be a U.S. Person (Required due to strictly enforced ITAR regulations).

This Role Might Not Be For You If:

You routinely miss deadlines or need micromanaging. We move fast. We expect you to hold yourself to a higher standard of accountability than we do.
You leave things half-finished. Pushing a problem down the road kills our momentum. We need finishers who take extreme ownership.
Your default response is "I can't." Roadblocks are guaranteed in a startup. We need relentless problem-solvers whose default mindset is "How can I?"
You believe "close enough" is acceptable. We make aerospace parts. If you are annoyed by double-checking paperwork, cleaning your station, or striving for perfection, this environment will drive you crazy.
You say "that's not my job." We check our egos at the door. You might be making chips one minute and helping build shipping crates the next.

How to Apply (READ CAREFULLY) We do not review generic applications. To prove you have the attention to detail required to learn aerospace manufacturing, you must follow these exact steps:

Send your resume directly to: [email protected]
The Subject Line of your email MUST be exactly: Entry-Level Tech: [Your First and Last Name]
In the body of the email, do not write a standard cover letter. Instead, write a 3-to-4 sentence note telling us about a specific time you fixed, built, or troubleshot something with your hands, OR a time you caught a critical mistake on a project before it was too late. Note: If you just click "Quick Apply" on a job board or fail to follow the instructions above, your application will be automatically deleted without review.

Pay: $45,000.00 - $52,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
On-the-job training
