Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, we’re building the world’s fastest passenger aircraft—and we can’t do it without precision parts and skilled hands. That’s where you come in.

As a Contract CNC Machinist II, you’ll help manufacture precision components for some of the most advanced aerospace systems in the world. You’ll work with modern equipment, tight tolerances, and a team that values craftsmanship and speed. If you take pride in quality work and want to be part of something ambitious, we’d love to have you on the floor.

Role Overview

  • Set up and operate CNC machines (mills, lathes, and more) to create precision aerospace parts that meet exacting specifications
  • Interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and CAD models to determine machining requirements
  • Program CNC machines using G-code and M-code, as well as modify existing programs to optimize performance
  • Inspect parts before and after machining using micrometers, calipers, and other precision tools
  • Conduct in-process quality checks to ensure part accuracy and adherence to tolerances
  • Perform basic machine maintenance and resolve routine equipment issues
  • Track production data and support continuous improvement efforts on the shop floor
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area—and contribute to a culture of safety and accountability

Ideal Candidate

  • Experience with CNC mills, lathes, or similar automated machining equipment
  • High school diploma or GED required; technical certification in machining preferred
  • Solid understanding of shop math, blueprints, and layout techniques
  • Skilled in setting up tooling, loading programs, and editing G-code/M-code
  • Familiar with SPC methodology and lean manufacturing principles
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a high-performing team
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to doing things the right way—every time

What Will Set You Apart

  • Experience machining aerospace components or other high-tolerance parts
  • Comfortable with tight deadlines and quick-turn production cycles—without compromising quality
  • Familiarity with multi-axis CNC machines or custom fixturing
  • Track record of spotting issues before they become problems—whether in tooling, code, or setup
  • Hands-on mindset with a drive to improve processes, not just follow them
  • Pride in craftsmanship—you care about precision, presentation, and getting it right the first time

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
