Full job description
About RTCA:
RTCA is a precision aerospace and defense manufacturing group built on decades of hands-on machining expertise, with roots spanning more than 50 years. We support mission-critical commercial and government aerospace programs across North America through four U.S. Centers of Excellence operating as an integrated platform with 150+ CNC machines and a team of 250+ professionals.

Our flat structure allows employees to take initiative, grow their skills, and have their contributions recognized, while still providing the stability, advanced technology, and meaningful work of an established aerospace manufacturer.
At RTCA, we believe in teamwork, excellence, and delivering with pride. One Team! One Mission!

Maintain accurate shop inventory, including tooling, inserts, and materials, and ensure shared resources are properly cared for.
Promote and uphold compliance with AS9100/ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems.
Monitor work area organization, cleanliness, and safety practices; ensure all equipment and tooling are properly secured at end of shift.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives, helping identify opportunities for process optimization, tooling improvements, and machine utilization.

Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and ability to interpret complex aerospace blueprints.
Basic understanding of AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality requirements.
Proficiency with standard inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, indicators, gauges, etc.).
Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with emphasis on teamwork and accountability.
Preferred Qualifications (Education, skills and experience):
