Job Description

Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth

Who We Are:  

Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth. 

Position Overview:  

We are seeking a Senior CNC Programmer to support the development and production of precision aerospace components. This role focuses on hands-on CNC programming, machining optimization, and close collaboration with engineering and quality teams in a fast-paced startup environment. 

You will play a key role in turning complex designs into reliable, repeatable manufacturing processes. 

Key Responsibilities:  

  • CNC Programming & Machining 
  • Program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC mills and/or CNC lathes for aerospace components 
  • Develop and optimize CNC programs for tight-tolerance, high-complexity parts 
  • Select tooling, fixtures, and machining strategies to meet quality and cycle-time goals 
  • Support machine setups, prove-outs, and first-article runs 
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and support continuous improvement efforts
