Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the design and documentation of tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing aids using SolidWorks.
• Support the creation and improvement of CNC machining programs and setup documentation.
• Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and quality personnel to resolve manufacturing challenges.
• Participate in process improvement and root-cause analysis activities for nonconforming parts.
• Help update and maintain engineering drawings, BOMs, and process instructions.
• Observe and learn shop floor processes, including machine setup, inspection, and part verification.
• Support ongoing continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks required.
• Familiarity with CNC machining concepts and G/M code preferred.
• Experience with Mastercam, Hypermill, or other CAM software is a strong plus.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
• U.S. citizenship required due to work on defense-related projects.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience in precision CNC manufacturing for aerospace and defense applications.
• Exposure to real-world design-for-manufacturability and process optimization.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and machinists.
• Opportunity to contribute to production projects that meet stringent AS9100 and defense quality standards.
