TFX Inc.
TFX is a design-to-manufacturing company based in Oxnard, CA, serving the aerospace, technology, and entertainment industries. We specialize in advanced composites, CNC machining, and large‑scale fabrication — transforming complex creative and technical concepts into high‑precision, real‑world parts and assemblies. We’re not a traditional job shop. Every project is different — often a one‑off prototype or custom assembly — and rarely does the same part get made twice. Our work ranges from machining aluminum components to cutting full‑scale composite tooling or sculpting vehicle models on our large 5‑axis routers. We’re looking for a hands‑on CAD/CAM Engineer who loves design, fabrication, and problem‑solving — someone who’s excited to create, adapt, and build things that don’t exist yet.
Responsibilities
Interpret and modify
customer‑supplied CAD
models for manufacturability (complex surfaces, assemblies, and part adjustments).
Design simple custom components for larger, more complex assemblies.
Create
3‑and 5‑axis CAM toolpaths
in Fusion 360 or Powermill (or equivalent), selecting tools and strategies for unique materials and geometries.
CNC setup and operation
— from Haas mills to large‑format routers.
Participate in
fabrication and assembly work
— trimming, fitting, finishing, or integrating machined parts into larger builds.
Collaborate with fabricators to ensure quality, precision, and design intent.
Maintain organized CAD/CAM files and contribute to improving digital workflows.
Qualifications
Solid CAD skills (Onshape, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent). We use Onshape for CAD.
Basic to intermediate CAM experience — strong understanding of machining fundamentals.
Familiarity with
CNC setup, tool selection, and operation .
Mechanical intuition, strong spatial reasoning, and a hands‑on mindset.
Passion for
building and fabrication , not just sitting at a desk.
Self‑motivated, curious, and eager to learn new materials, processes, and tools.
Preferred Experience (Not Required) : Experience in machining or fabricating with composites or tooling board; knowledge of 5‑axis machining or large‑scale fabrication equipment; background in prototyping, model making, or advanced fabrication.
Compensation $30 - $40 hourly
