Machine Shop Technician · Level:I

Overview

Every precision aerospace and defense component that leaves our shop depends on a clean, organized, well-maintained floor and a team that cares about the details nobody else notices. This role owns that foundation: keeping the shop running smoothly so the machinists can stay focused on the work that matters, and growing your own skills toward running parts yourself.

What You'll Own

• Keep the shop environment clean, organized, and safe: sweeping chips, wiping down machines, and maintaining 5S standards at every workstation every day.
• Change machine filters, check coolant levels, top off fluids, and perform other light preventive maintenance tasks as directed, building a working knowledge of how the equipment stays healthy.
• Assist machinists with loading and unloading parts, fixturing, and moving materials and work orders between workstations, inspection, and storage.
• Learn to load, run, and check a part, starting with the basics of setup and in-process inspection under direct guidance from a machinist or supervisor.
• Handle finished parts, travelers, and production records accurately, following our ITAR documentation requirements for controlled components.
• Follow all safety protocols including PPE, lockout/tagout, and machine guarding procedures from day one, with the goal of knowing shop safety inside and out within your first 90 days.

What We Bring

Delva Tool & Machine is an AS9100 Rev D certified precision machine shop in Cinnaminson, NJ, producing flight-critical and defense-grade components held to tolerances as tight as +/-0.0002". Our facility runs Vertical Mills, Lathes, Swiss Lathes, and Mazak 5-axis horizontals with robotic loaders and automated pallet systems, two shifts, across a range of materials from aluminum to titanium and exotic alloys.

This is a place to learn a real trade, surrounded by people who take precision seriously.
