Finishing

Aerospace Finishing Operator

USWP Manufacturing | Spokane Valley, WA

Build Components That Matter.

At USWP Manufacturing, we don't just finish parts—we manufacture mission-critical components used in aerospace, defense, medical, and other high-performance industries where quality is non-negotiable.

We're looking for motivated individuals who take pride in precision, enjoy learning technical skills, and want to build a long-term career in advanced manufacturing.

No aerospace finishing experience? That's okay.

We hire for attitude and train for skill.

What Makes USWP Different

Unlike companies that only perform one manufacturing process, USWP is a fully vertically integrated manufacturer.

Our capabilities include:

• CNC Machining
• Aerospace Anodizing
• Chemical Conversion Coating (Chem Film)
• Powder Coating
• Precision Assembly
• Tool & Die
• Metal Stamping
• Injection Molding
• Engineering Support
• Quality Inspection

That means you'll understand how an entire manufacturing operation works—not just one station.

Many companies spend years trying to teach what you'll see every day under one roof.

Our Internal Training Program

We believe skilled trades are built—not found.

Every new operator receives structured hands-on training from experienced team members.

Training includes:

• Reading job travelers and manufacturing documentation
• Part identification and traceability
• Aerospace cleaning requirements
• Precision masking techniques
• Anodize racking and fixture setup
• Chemical processing fundamentals
• Process inspections
• Thickness measurement
• Visual quality standards
• Defect recognition
• Safe chemical handling
• Lean manufacturing principles
• Continuous improvement

As your skills develop, you'll have opportunities to cross-train throughout our manufacturing operation.

Our goal is to develop highly skilled manufacturing professionals—not employees stuck doing the same task forever.

What You'll Do

• Prepare aerospace components for finishing operations
• Mask precision surfaces to engineering specifications
• Rack parts for anodizing and chemical processing
• Perform visual inspections
• Record production data accurately
• Follow AS9100 quality procedures

• Enjoy working with your hands
• Have strong attention to detail
• Take pride in quality workmanship
• Show up consistently
• Learn quickly
• Can follow documented procedures
• Work well with a team
• Want a long-term career—not just another job

Manufacturing, automotive, machining, construction, military, maintenance, fabrication, painting, or mechanical experience is helpful but not required.

You'll see raw material transformed into finished aerospace components through every stage of manufacturing.

You'll be surrounded by experienced machinists, engineers, toolmakers, quality professionals, and manufacturing specialists who are invested in developing the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
