Systomatic Inc. Union City, CA Full-Time Day Shift

Systomatic Inc. is a precision aerospace machine shop specializing in complex multi-axis components for aerospace, defense, and high-technology industries.

We operate a modern facility equipped with multiple 5-axis machines, CNC lathes, and EDM, producing tight-tolerance parts that require advanced machining strategies and attention to detail.

We are looking for a highly skilled CNC machinist with strong 5-axis experience who enjoys solving challenging machining problems and working on precision components.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to own setups, improve processes, and work on sophisticated parts rather than repetitive production work.

What You’ll Work With

Our shop runs modern high-precision equipment including:

• Multiple Matsuura 5-axis machining centers

• Haas VF-2 (30k spindle) with trunnion

• Haas UMC-1250 machines

• CNC turning centers (Haas ST series)

• Wire and sinker EDM

• High-precision inspection equipment and CMM systems

You’ll be machining complex aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and specialty materials with tight tolerances for aerospace applications.

Responsibilities

• Setup and operate 5-axis CNC milling machines

• Machine complex precision parts with tight tolerances

• Interpret engineering drawings and apply GD&T

• Optimize tooling, fixturing, and machining strategies

• Perform in-process inspections using precision measurement tools

• Collaborate with programmers and engineers to improve machining efficiency

• Maintain clean, organized setups and workspaces

Requirements

• 5+ years CNC machining experience in a professional shop

• Hands-on 5-axis machining experience strongly preferred

• Strong ability to read prints and understand GD&T

• Experience holding tight tolerances on aerospace components

• Comfortable working independently on setups and problem solving

• Must have own machinist tools

Preferred Experience

• CAM experience (Mastercam, Fusion 360, or similar)

• Experience with multi-axis fixturing and complex setups

• CMM inspection experience

• Experience machining prototype and short-run parts
