CAD/CAM Programmer / Machinist (Space Sector)

Job description

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. We’re looking for a hands-on, technically mature profile with an engineering degree or extensive CNC experience to take full ownership of the machining flow for space-grade components. You’ll be responsible for CAM programming, setup, tuning, and continuous improvement, and contribute directly to future investments in machining equipment and tooling. You will work on a variety of high-precision parts such as valve bodies, post-processed metal 3D-printed parts, and critical propulsion subassemblies, across a fleet of modern multi-brand 5-axis machining centers and CNC lathes. This role offers a high-impact technical position with the potential for future growth and expanded responsibilities. Fluency in English expected, as our work environment is international. Key responsibilities: Define and optimize machining strategies: sequencing, tooling, fixtures, in-process control Program complex components in HyperMill (5-axis milling and CNC turning) Vali...
