## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

As a Prototype CNC Machinist, you'll take complex parts from program handoff through finished, inspected hardware.

## Responsibilities

- Own CNC setups from start to finish , review the job, verify stock, install workholding, load tooling, establish offsets, prove out the program, machine the part, and inspect critical features.

- Run complex multi-axis equipment across 3+2, 5-axis, turning, live-tool, and multitask environments while expanding your capability across the shop.

- Turn drawings and models into hardware by interpreting GD&T, datum structures, tolerances, and critical dimensions to guide setup and inspection decisions.

- Catch problems before they become scrap by reviewing toolpaths, monitoring machining conditions, identifying risk, and adjusting feeds, speeds, offsets, or other machine-side parameters when appropriate.

- Inspect your own work in process using precision metrology tools and verify accessible critical dimensions before removing the part from the machine.

- Solve real-time manufacturing problems involving tooling, workholding, dimensional variation, finish, material behavior, or machine performance.

- Partner directly with CNC programmers and engineers when a program, model, or manufacturing approach needs to change.

- Work with urgency without sacrificing quality in a rapid R&D environment where one-off hardware may need to move from design to finished part in as little as a few days.

- Operate with ownership and autonomy by managing your workload, seeking out the next priority, and contributing wherever the shop needs support.

## Required Qualifications

- 4+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience with independent setup and operation responsibility

- 4+ years experience setting up and running multi-axis CNC equipment, including at minimum 3+2 machining or comparable complex milling/turning work

- Working knowledge of GD&T, blueprint interpretation, G/M code, tooling, offsets, feeds and speeds, and dimensional inspection

- Ability to independently perform the core CNC workflow: setup, prove-out, machining, troubleshooting, and inspection

- Experience using precision inspection tools such as micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gauges, bore gauges, or pin gauges

- Ability to work effectively in a low-volume, high-mix, prototype, development, aerospace, defense, automotive, motorsports, or similarly complex machining environment

- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. unassisted

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with simultaneous 5-axis, mill-turn, live-tool, or multitask machining

- Experience with Siemens controls or comparable advanced CNC control platforms

- Experience using CAD/CAM viewers or programming tools such as ESPRIT, hyperMILL, NX CAM, Mastercam, or similar software

- Experience machining a range of materials, including aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, or nickel-based alloys

- Previous experience working directly with engineering or CNC programming teams in a prototype or rapid-development environment
