Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a precision aerospace and space-grade machining company in the Covina, CA area with more than 60 years in business. The shop machines flight-critical components to AS9100 and NADCAP standards for top aerospace and space programs. Four-day work week (four 10-hour days, Monday through Thursday) with Fridays off.

- Programmers who own a part start to finish, from CAD model to proven G-code, not just editing existing programs
- People who live in live tooling, multi-axis, and mill-turn work, not mill-only specialists
- Machinists who set up and prove out their own programs on the floor
- Aerospace or tight-tolerance backgrounds who care about traceability and getting it right
If you only run existing programs, or have worked mill-only your whole career, this probably is not the fit.
