Fabrication:

Continuous improvement:
Build new tooling and workflows; flag design or manufacturability issues to engineers.
Basic Qualifications
2+ years in a fabrication, machine-shop, or maintenance role
Proficiency with common hand/power tools; ability to read mechanical drawings
Able to lift 50 lb and work on ladders or lifts
Preferred Qualifications
CNC mill/router operation & CAM programming (Fusion 360 or similar)
MIG/TIG welding experience
Forklift or MEWP certification
Exposure to aerospace or ISO-9001 quality environments
Training & Growth Full-time employees receive paid training on CNC operation, Fusion/Onshape CAD/CAM, forklift & scissor-lift certs, and other up-skilling courses scheduled during normal work hours.
Even if you don't meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.
We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.
