Job summary

Isembard in Dallas is seeking a hands-on CNC programmer and machinist to own parts from the program to the finished component. You will program, simulate and run jobs for aerospace and defense components, contribute to setup and process improvements as the factory is being shaped.

You will optimize toolpaths for 3-axis, 5-axis/mill-turn, select tooling, fixturing and cutting parameters, and ensure tight tolerances while documenting work in MasonOS.

Qualifications

• Strong CAM programming in Fusion, Hypermill, Mastercam or equivalent.
• A record of holding tolerances of ±0.01 mm (about ±0.0004 in) or tighter.
• Production experience setting and running high-end machines such as Hermle, DMG Mori or Mazak.
• A solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and workholding.
• Confident reading of complex drawings and GD&T.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Responsibilities

• Program, simulate and optimize toolpaths in 3-axis, 5-axis and mill-turn where it applies.
• Set up, prove out and run jobs to aerospace and defense standards.
• Own cycle time and machine utilization.
• Choose fixturing, tooling and cutting parameters for aluminum, steels, titanium and Inconel.
• Take new parts from drawing to repeatable production, with DFM feedback for the customer.
• Log your work accurately in MasonOS, our in-house operating software.
• Help standardize programming approaches that other sites in the network can reuse.

Job description

About Isembard

Isembard is building a network of high-performance factories for critical industries. We combine advanced machine tools, robotics and our own software, MasonOS, to make precision components for aerospace, defense, energy and frontier technology companies, with factories across the US, UK, Germany and France. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration.

The role

The parts you cut go into aircraft, defense systems, energy infrastructure and robots. This is a hands-on machining role at our Dallas factory, where you own your work from the program to the finished part rather than handing it down a line.

The factory is still being shaped, so you will help improve the setup rather than wait for it.

What you'll do

• Program, simulate and optimize toolpaths in 3-axis, 5-axis and mill-turn where it applies.

• Set up, prove out and run jobs to aerospace and defense standards.

• Own cycle time and machine utilization.

• Choose fixturing, tooling and cutting parameters for aluminum, steels, titanium and Inconel.

• Take new parts from drawing to repeatable production, with DFM feedback for the customer.

• Log your work accurately in MasonOS, our in-house operating software.

• Help standardize programming approaches that other sites in the network can reuse.

What we're looking for

• Strong CAM programming in Fusion, Hypermill, Mastercam or equivalent.

• A record of holding tolerances of ±0.01 mm (about ±0.0004 in) or tighter.

• Production experience setting and running high-end machines such as Hermle, DMG Mori or Mazak.

• A solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategy and workholding.

• Confident reading of complex drawings and GD&T.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Nice to have

• Aerospace, defense or other high-specification experience.

• 5-axis simultaneous machining.

• Probing, automation or pallet systems.

• AS9100 or ISO 9001 familiarity.

• An interest in robotics and data-driven manufacturing.

Why Isembard

• Work on mission-critical aerospace and defense components on advanced machine tools.

• Influence the programming standards used across our sites.

• Competitive salary and equity.

• Medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off and parental leave, Wellhub gym and wellness membership, and a stocked kitchen at the factory.

Location: On-site at our Dallas-Fort Worth factory in Carrollton, TX.

Eligibility: This role involves access to ITAR-controlled technical data, so you must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee or asylee).

Isembard is an equal opportunity employer.
