Full Job Description
The Role
You will work directly with Becoming's engineers and scientists to rapidly turn designs into physical hardware.
This is primarily an R&D and prototyping environment rather than conventional production manufacturing. You should enjoy rapid iteration, unusual engineering challenges, and working closely with the people designing and testing what you make. What You'll Do
Machine precision components for experimental hardware.
Operate CNC mills, lathes, and manual machining equipment.
Build custom fixtures, jigs, adapters, enclosures, and experimental components.
Work from CAD, engineering drawings, sketches, and early-stage concepts.
Advise engineers on manufacturability, tolerances, materials, and fabrication approaches.
Rapidly modify components in response to experimental results.
Develop machining strategies for unusual geometries and low-volume parts.
Inspect components and verify critical dimensions.
Support assembly, troubleshooting, repair, and modification of experimental hardware.
Help build a world-class internal rapid-prototyping capability.
Requirements Must Have
Have substantial hands-on machining experience.
Are highly capable with CNC milling and/or turning.
Are comfortable with manual mills and lathes.
Can independently take a component from drawing or CAD through fabrication.
Understand GD&T, tolerancing, fits, surface finishes, and inspection.
Have strong intuition for manufacturability.
Are comfortable working across metals and engineering polymers.
Enjoy working directly with engineers in a fast-moving R&D environment.
Take exceptional pride in the quality of physical things you build.
Nice to Have
CAM programming
Multi-axis machining
Precision fabrication
Scientific instrumentation
Medical-device hardware
Prototype development
Metrology and inspection
Welding or other fabrication techniques
Experience working in an internal R&D machine shop
What Success Looks Like
Ideas move from CAD to experiment dramatically faster because difficult hardware can be fabricated, tested, modified, and rebuilt under one roof.
Benefits
Competitive salary and meaningful equity depending on experience level
