This is a shop for people who care about the craft. We’re looking for experienced CNC machinists, prototype/toolmakers, manufacturing and R&D engineers, and strong early-career people with the right mindset. If you like solving hard problems, thinking through setups, and owning the outcome, you’ll fit in here.

What the Work Is Like

Most days are spent hands-on at the machine 3–5 axis milling, mill-turn, EDM, metrology balanced with time at a computer to program your own parts, plan processes, and design fixtures or tooling.

The work is almost entirely R&D-driven:

  • One-offs and short runs, typically 1–1000 parts
  • Non-magnetic and challenging materials: titanium, copper alloys, ceramics, glass, etc.
  • Parts that end up in cryo-EM, quantum systems, fusion and space projects, medical and defense hardware, and motorsports

Responsibilities


You'll own jobs from print/model through inspection

Work with micron-level tolerances in a temperature-controlled environment

Use advanced metrology tools to understand and improve results

Collaborate closely with engineers and scientists.

A curious problem-solver

Obsessive about quality and detail

Comfortable owning the whole job, not just pressing cycle start
