Job Description

Overview

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense machine shop in Walnut, CA.

We machine frames and structural components for defense platforms–true large-format work, on parts most machinists never get their hands on.

If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format Cincinnati gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.

Why Join Us

  • Hone your craft: Get trained up on large-format gantry machining that few shops can offer
  • High-impact work: Frames and structural components for high-stakes defense platforms
  • Financial impact: Guaranteed 45-hour weeks, additional overtime, night shift differential

Compensation

  • $28–$35/hr
  • Guaranteed 45-hour week + additional optional overtime
  • Up to $100k/yr (including overtime)

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

  • 1st shift: Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM
  • 2nd shift: Monday – Friday, 3:00 PM – 12:00 AM

Responsibilities

  • Setups: Load and verify programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures from setup sheets
  • Machining: Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers, including large-format work
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Adjust machine parameters, offsets, and tooling to hold tight tolerances
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Work from complex aerospace prints and customer specifications
  • Inspection: Precise measurement with calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments

What You'll Run

  • Equipment: Large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes
  • Brands: Cincinnati large-format machines
  • Parts: Frames and structural components for defense platforms

You don't need large-format or gantry experience. If you're a 3, 4, or 5-axis machinist with strong fundamentals and solid setup skills, we'll train you on the big machines.

Requirements
