Santee, California, United States Quality Controlled Manufacturing, Inc. Full-time $25 - $40 Permanent
What if your code could help aircraft take flight? In this role, you’ll turn intricate aerospace drawings into repeatable, high-precision machining processes. You’ll design the plan, pick the tools, create the fixtures, and write the programs that move a part from first article to steady production—while continually refining for quality and speed. Your Mission
• Architect end-to-end manufacturing plans for lathe, mill, and mill/turn work—2-, 3-, and 5-axis.
• Build and refine CNC programs using Mastercam or equivalent CAM platforms.
• Post and hand-edit G-code to enhance accuracy and reduce cycle time.
• Design custom fixturing and select tooling to meet demanding tolerances and finishes.
• Publish thorough setup instructions that enable safe, consistent execution.
• Use machine simulations and curated machine/control definitions to validate strategies before chips fly.
• Partner with manufacturing engineering and production to pass rigorous first-article inspection and stabilize production.
• Apply GD&T fundamentals and tolerance stack-up analysis to protect critical features. About You
• Self-driven, detail-focused, and energized by tough machining puzzles.
• 5+ years of CNC machining experience and 2+ years of CNC programming.
• Hands-on experience with high-precision, multi-axis equipment.
• Comfortable optimizing and manually editing G-code.
• Excellent communicator who follows detailed work instructions.
• Strong command of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups.
• U.
S. Person status as defined by ITAR regulations. Preferred Qualifications
• Engineering degree or related technical education.
• 5+ years working with aerospace or turbine engine components. A Day in the Role Morning: you review a new drawing, mark up critical GD&T, and outline a machining strategy. Midday: you design a fixture, simulate the program, then post and tweak G-code to eliminate air-cuts and reduce tool changes. Afternoon: you prove out the first article, capture learnings in the setup sheet, and collaborate with production to lock in repeatability for the next run.
