First-Articles CNC Machinist — 5-Axis Precision for Space

PAVE Space; Villeneuve (VD); Vor Ort; CHF 90.000 - 120.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

PAVE Space is seeking a highly skilled machinist to join the Villeneuve workshop, cutting the first articles for a space-grade engine and turbopump hardware. You will help define tooling, fixtures, and machining strategies for tight tolerances and complex geometries on stainless and nickel alloys, with on-site work in Villeneuve (VD).

Fluent English is required, French strongly preferred, and you’ll collaborate to establish shop standards and first article inspection procedures in a fast-paced

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of CNC machining in a precision environment.
• Hands-on 5-axis simultaneous machining experience, programming and operating.
• Track record holding geometric tolerances ≤ 0.01 mm / 0.0005 in on rotating hardware.
• Experience machining stainless and alloy steels, aluminum, and nickel-based alloys including Inconel.
• Proficiency with CAM software — Mastercam, Fusion, NX CAM, or equivalent.
• Strong GD&T fluency, including the judgment to flag ambiguous or unrealistic callouts.
• Inspection and metrology competence — calipers, micrometers, indicators, CMM.
• English, fluently; French strongly preferred.

Aufgaben

• 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills and CNC lathes for engine and turbopump hardware.
• Tooling, cutting strategies, and workholding selection for complex materials and geometry.
• Machining process development and documentation, from prototype through repeat builds.
• Manufacturability feedback in design reviews — GD&T schemes, surface finishes, achievable concentricity and runout.
• In-process inspection and metrology, including CMM support and non-conformance resolution.
• Contribution to shop standards: tool libraries, fixture conventions, inspection routines.
