seeking a highly skilled Inside Machinist with CNC programming, setup, and machining expertise to support the manufacturing of complex, critical submarine components in a low-volume, build-to-print environment. This role requires mastery of machining principles, precision measurement, and blueprint interpretation. Unlike high-volume “widget” machining shops, our work consists of one-off and non-repeat builds with tight tolerances, exotic alloys, and high-quality standards that directly support the U.S. Navy submarine fleet.
Required
• High School Diploma/GED
• Minimum five (5) years’ experience machining complex submarine, aerospace, defense, nuclear, or similarly critical components in a precision or defense manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency in programming, reviewing, or editing CNC programs (lathe and mill).
• Ability to perform advanced setups, optimize tool paths, and improve setup instruction sheets.
• Ability to operate both CNC and manual machine tools without supervision or guidance.
• Ability to perform multi-axis machining operations (e.g., 4-axis or 5-axis mills) as applicable.
• Able to read and interpret advanced blueprints, drawings, GD&T, and technical specifications without supervision or guidance.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of shop math (e.g. convert between decimals and fractions, adding and subtracting decimals and fractions, basic trigonometry used for layout and measurements, etc.).
• Ability to perform First Article Inspections and resolve dimensional issues to meet and exceed quality standards.
• Demonstrated knowledge and proficiency in machining practices for tight-tolerance, critical components.
• Demonstrated proficiency using precision measuring instruments and accurately documenting measurements.
• Ability to work independently from minimal instructions and drive work through completion.
Desired
• Experience with exotic alloys and challenging machining conditions.
• Familiarity with NAVSEA or military specifications.
• CAM software experience (Mastercam, SolidWorks, etc.).
• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause problem-solving skills.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance are available to qualified candidates who meet eligibility requirements.
