CNC Setup Operator II

About the Team: 

The mission of the Engine Manufacturing Department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch. Over the past year, the Engine Manufacturing Team has successfully developed, iterated, and delivered processes and hardware for the first Aeon-R development engines. Now, we are entering a critical phase: producing flight engines that will pave the way for Terran-R's inaugural launch to orbit. 

About the Role: 

• Setup CNC Machinery including Multi-Axis Milling and Mill-Turn Turning centers
• Operate CNC mills and lathes (multiple shifts) and ensure the production schedule is satisfied
• Select and monitor tooling and fixturing to ensure all hardware is conforming when leaving the shop
• Exercise a mindset of continued learning as you develop new skills towards programming and machining
• Must be relentlessly curious and open minded to finding new solutions to new challenges
• Able to grow with the team as new capabilities and demands evolve

About You:  

• 4+ years of experience setting up and operating CNC mills and lathes in a production environment
• Experience working with manufacturing engineers in R&D or production settings
• Understanding of GD&T and how to interpret engineer drawings

Nice to haves but not required:  

• Experience with programming CNC machines in ESPRIT is a plus
• Experience operating multi-axis CNC machines
• DMG Mori/CELOS experience is a plus
