This position operates at the intersection of engineering and manufacturing, enabling rapid hardware iteration by transforming complex digital designs into precision-machined components,often under aggressive timelines and evolving requirements.

As part of a fast-paced prototype machining environment, you will work directly with design, manufacturing, and test engineers to bring early-stage concepts to life. Unlike traditional production roles, this position emphasizes adaptability, creativity, and speed.

You will routinely machine first-of-their-kind parts, refine processes in real time, and contribute to design decisions through hands-on feedback and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) insights.

Success in this role requires deep technical expertise in multi-axis CNC machining, along with the judgment to balance precision, efficiency, and urgency.

You will be expected to independently manage complex jobs from programming through final inspection, while also navigating shifting priorities and incomplete data.

The ability to problem-solve on the fly,whether addressing tolerance challenges, optimizing toolpaths, or developing quick-turn fixturing,is essential.

This role also carries a leadership component. As a Level 4 machinist, you will help set the standard for technical excellence on the shop floor, mentor less experienced team members, and contribute to building scalable prototype machining processes that support rapid product development.

Your work will directly impact the speed, quality, and success of Shield AI’s hardware programs.

Responsibilities:

• Program, set up, and operate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines for prototype and short-run parts
• Develop and optimize CAM programs and G-code for speed, flexibility, and precision
• Interpret CAD models, drawings, and GD&T to determine optimal machining strategies
• Collaborate directly with design engineers to provide DFM (Design for Manufacturability) feedback
• Execute rapid iteration cycles, including same-day or next-day part turnaround when required
• Design and implement quick-turn fixturing and workholding solutions
• Troubleshoot machining challenges in real time (tooling issues, deflection, tolerance stack-ups)
• Select appropriate cutting tools, feeds/speeds, and strategies for a wide range of materials
• Support first article inspection and ensure parts meet design intent and quality standards
• Document setups and processes while maintaining flexibility for evolving designs
• Mentor junior machinists and help elevate team capability
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, and mission urgency

Work Environment:

• Fast-paced R&D and prototype machine shop
• Frequent priority shifts based on engineering and mission needs
• High-mix, low-volume work with constant design iteration
• Hands-on role requiring close collaboration with cross-functional teams

Requirements:

• High school diploma or GED required; technical certification or associate degree in machining/CNC preferred
• 7–10+ years of CNC machining experience, including advanced programming and setup
• Proven expertise in multi-axis machining (3-, 4-, and 5-axis)
• Advanced proficiency with CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, or equivalent)
• Strong ability to read and interpret complex blueprints and GD&T
• Demonstrated experience machining tight-tolerance, high-precision parts
• Deep understanding of cutting tools, feeds/speeds, and material behavior (e.g., aluminum, steel, titanium)
• Ability to create, edit, and optimize G-code programs
• Extensive experience with setup, fixturing, and workholding design
• Proven troubleshooting skills for machining issues, tool wear, and process inefficiencies
• Experience with quality inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, etc.)
