What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Machinist position at Even Platforms?
Company Description
Even Platforms is building a fully automated 5-axis machining center to serve Aerospace & Defense customers. We’re not a traditional machine shop. Our facilities center on 5-axis CNC milling with pallet loaders and robot-on-rails for material handling, backed by a software stack that automates back-office operations. Every part we produce goes through a CMM to guarantee quality. We’re building our first full shop from the ground up.
Role Description
We’re looking for a skilled CNC Machinist to join us at the ground floor. Your core responsibility is setup and operation of our 5-axis milling equipment, pallet loaders, and CMMs. We’re a startup, and the best people here will grow fast, learn fast, and take on new responsibilities. If you’re the kind of machinist who notices what could run better, speaks up, and wants to help shape how a shop is built, you’ll thrive here. What matters most is precision, work ethic, and an automation-forward mindset.
