Job summary

Metrea in Tampa, FL is hiring a Machinist to produce high-precision aerospace components on 3-axis and 5-axis CNC equipment, within AS9100/ISO 9001 quality systems. You will set up, program, inspect, and collaborate with engineering and hangar operations to convert prototypes into flight-ready articles.

The role requires reading blueprints, GD&T, and creating CAM programs with tools like Fusion 360; candidates with HAAS experience and CMM know-how are preferred.

Qualifications

• Proven ability to produce CAM programs and independently program and operate both 3-axis and 5-axis aerospace parts
• Hands-on experience machining aerospace components in an AS9100 and/or ISO 9000Quality Management System
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Minimum 3-5 years of CNC machining experience (aerospace preferred), including budgeting, tooling and fixturing decision making and setup and operation of machines
• Proficiency with precision measuring tools and basic inspection methods
• Solid understanding of cutting tools, speeds/feeds, work holding, and material properties common to aerospace alloys

Responsibilities

• Program, set up, and operate 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills (and lathes as required) to produce complex aerospace components from aluminum, titanium, stainless, Inconel, and other aerospace alloys
• Create, optimize, and maintain CNC programs using CAM software (e.g., Onshapw, Fusion 360 or equivalent) to generate efficient toolpaths, including multi-axis simultaneous machining
• Interpret complex aerospace blueprints, models, and GD&T callouts; perform first-article inspections and in-process checks using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and CMM as needed
• Work strictly within an AS9100 / ISO 9001 Quality Management System: maintain document control, material traceability, process routers, inspection records, non-conformance reports, and continuous-improvement activities
• Perform machine setups, tool selection/offsetting, fixture design/use, and troubleshooting of programs, tooling, and equipment to achieve tight tolerances and high first-pass yield
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams on process improvements, new part introductions, and corrective actions
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in accordance with company safety and 5S standards
• Perform other duties as assigned by management.
