CNC Set-Up & Machinist presso Inversion

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. 

What You’ll Do

• Set up and operate multi-axis CNC milling machines and CNC lathes with live tooling.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T specifications.
• Select, install, and maintain tooling, fixtures, and workholding.
• Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring instruments.
• Monitor machining runs, adjust parameters, and ensure parts meet print specifications.
• Troubleshoot machining and programming issues; recommend process improvements.
• Collaborate closely with programmers to maintain efficient workflows.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop environment.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of CNC set-up experience with 5-axis mills and CNC lathes.
• Familiarity with CNC controls such as Fanuc, TNC-7, and Haas.
• Proven ability to hold tight tolerances up to 0.0001".
• Proficient in reading/interpreting blueprints, GD&T, and engineering drawings.
• Skilled with precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, etc.).
• Experience machining aerospace alloys (aluminum, titanium, Inconel, etc.).
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Team-oriented, enthusiastic, and eager to learn and grow.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with work orders, schematics, and ERP/MRP systems.
• Background in aerospace machining or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating within small teams.
• Prior startup experience is a plus.
