About the Job Bits to Atoms has partnered with Hybron to fill its CNC Machinist (Level 3 or Senior Level) role. To learn more about Hybron, you can review their page here.
Company Overview Hybron is a defense technology startup pioneering a new manufacturing process for fiber-reinforced polymer composites that enables complex parts to be produced with greater strength, lower cost, and at 10 - 100x the speed of traditional methods.
We were backed by the Northrop Grumman Technology Accelerator, and we have been the first to successfully develop composite compressor blades that were successfully tested in a fighter jet engine. Our current focus is applying our proprietary process to artillery shells, drone airframes, and gas turbine component production.
If you want to join a fast-growing company that is solving mission‑critical needs for the warfighter while reshoring U.S. manufacturing, then we want to speak with you.
About the Role This is a full‑time, in‑person role at our El Segundo pilot facility.
As a CNC Machinist, you’ll work in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment focused on machining molds and components for both production and prototyping. You’ll collaborate with the engineering team to provide manufacturing feedback, help manufacture and repair tooling as needed, and support the build of high‑end composite assemblies.
You’ll take ownership of machining operations end‑to‑end, from CAM programming to setup and machining, ensuring timely delivery of high‑precision molds and prototype parts. The ideal candidate is detail‑oriented, communicates clearly, and thrives in a high‑accountability shop environment.
Requirements
2–4+ years of CNC machining experience
Bonus: Mold making, high‑precision, or 3D surfacing
Proficiency with CAD/CAM software (Onshape, Autodesk Fusion CAM, or equivalent)
Experience with CNC vertical machines and CNC lathes
Ability to read and interpret CAD/CAM models, GD&T, and technical drawings
Strong communication and collaboration skills
U.S. Person status pursuant to EAR and ITAR definitions
Responsibilities
Deliver high‑end molds and prototype parts on fast timelines
Manage full process from CAM programming to setup and machining
Collaborate with engineering to provide manufacturing feedback and ensure designs are optimized for production
Co‑own materials and tooling operations, including: Material purchasing, Tooling acquisition, Standardizing tooling within the shop
Communicate project timelines, setbacks, and updates clearly
Perform tooling selection, setup, and optimization for composites and metals
Maintain and calibrate shop equipment
Help keep a clean, organized, and professional work environment
Develop and refine CAM templates and fixturing methods for scalable production
Contribute to machine and tooling acquisition for high‑end and mass‑production work
Gain exposure to advanced composites manufacturing workflows
Potential to grow into Lead Machining Technician or Manufacturing Engineer roles
Benefits
Stock options
Paid time off
