CNC Machinist - 2nd Shift

RAM Aerospace has been powering flight and space exploration since 1975, delivering precision solenoids, valves, actuators, LVDTs, and RVDTs for commercial, defense, and space applications. Headquartered in St. George, Utah, with a facility in Valencia, California, we build mission-critical components that the world's leading aerospace programs depend on. Join a team that builds the future of aerospace, on time, with excellence. Your career takes off here!

As a CNC Machinist at RAM, you’ll bring your expertise to a high-precision, high-impact environment where quality and craftsmanship matter. This is a hands-on, second-shift role (Monday–Thursday, with Fridays off!) ideal for experienced machinists with 3+ years of CNC machining experience. You’ll set up and operate a variety of CNC machines to produce complex aerospace components to exact specifications, applying your knowledge of mechanics, shop math, metal properties, and machining processes. This is not an entry-level position. It's an opportunity to grow your career in a fast-paced, advanced manufacturing setting.
