CNC Programmer II

About The Team

The engine manufacturing department's mission is to produce high-performing products and manufacturing systems by continuously innovating on cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety, we support the Terran R program. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, developing new manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately building engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to our first launch.

This is a first-shift position with a standard schedule of Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT. The role is structured around a 50-hour workweek, including 10 guaranteed overtime hours each week.

About The Role

As CNC Programmer, you will develop the programs, post G-code, and machine a variety of 3D-printed engine parts. You will develop first article programs and optimize them into production programs.
