Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident to comply with export control regulations. About BluMak3D BluMak3D is a fast-growing advanced manufacturing company specializing in Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing — offering 3D scanning, digital textures, and latticing alongside our print services. We build real, functional, end-use parts, not just prototypes — that shift from prototyping-only to true end-use production is one of the ways MJF has changed the game in 3D printing. We're car people, with a soft spot for BMWs, Jeeps, and anything that sees a track or dirt and rocks. We're growing quickly and need someone who can help us keep up. The Role We need a Project Manager to be the glue between our customers and our shop floor. This is a hands-on role at a small company, which means the job won't stay in one lane — and that's the point. Core responsibilities: * Communicating with customers throughout the life of a project * Quoting jobs accurately and in a timely manner * Making sure parts ship out on time, as ordered * Keeping projects organized and moving without someone standing over your shoulder Because we're small and growing, you'll also pitch in wherever we need it — which could include: * Sales (if you've got a knack for it, there's real room to grow here) * Build setup and print starts * Shipping and logistics * *3D scanning* — this is an area we expect growing demand for, so interest here is especially valuable * General manufacturing support *A quick note if you're serious about this job:* please read this whole listing before applying.

If any of that sounds like you, you'll fit right in. To Apply We get a lot of applicants who clearly didn't read the posting, and sorting through those takes time away from finding the right person. If you've read this far — thank you. To show us you actually read the description, please include the phrase *"Jeeps n BMWs"* in the subject line of your application. Applications without it may not be reviewed. We're excited to meet someone who's ready to grow with us. Job Types: Full-time, Part-time Pay: $28.00 - $45.00 per hour Benefits: * Employee discount * Flexible schedule * Tuition reimbursement Application Question(s): * List some of your favorite Hobbies * As an ITAR shop, we can only hire US citizens.

Machinist

Light Composites - Poway, CA 92064

English Español DEFENSE SUBCONTRACTOR — CAGE 83N19 Light Composites, Inc. 13860 Stowe Drive | Poway, CA 92064 CAGE 83N19 AS9100 CERTIFIED JOB DESCRIPTION Machine Shop Lead — Second Shift Full-Time | Non-Exempt (Hourly) | Reports to Machine Shop Supervisor | Mon–Fri 2:30 PM – 11:00 PM Second Shift Working Lead CNC Machining Haas VMC AS9100 Composite MFG Purpose The #1 job of this lead is to keep machined parts moving through the CNC shop after first shift goes home. On second shift there is no supervisor, no engineer, and no manager in the building — this lead is the machine shop. They must be able to do everything the Machine Shop Supervisor can do at the machines: set up any job, prove it out, edit a program, troubleshoot a problem, and make the call on whether a part is good. ⓘ This is not a standard lead role. The day-shift Machine Shop Lead coordinates under a supervisor who handles technical escalations. On second shift there is no one in the building to escalate to — technical self-sufficiency is the defining requirement. The title says Lead because the people-management scope stays with the Supervisor; the technical bar is the Supervisor's. This is a working lead role. The majority of the shift is spent setting up and running CNC machines. The coordination, handoff, and shift-leadership responsibilities are layered on top of the machining work, not a replacement for it. If an operator is out, the lead runs that station. The schedule does not stop because it's dark outside. Reporting Structure Production Manager Machine Shop Supervisor Machine Shop Lead — Second Shift (this role) Second-Shift CNC Operators The Machine Shop Supervisor owns the department across both shifts — the master schedule, staffing, personnel decisions, and cross-department coordination. The Second Shift Lead executes the released plan after 2:30 PM with full authority to make technical decisions at the machines and re-sequence work within the shift when machines go down or jobs stall. People issues, pay, and discipline route to the Supervisor. Scope & Authority This role carries the full technical authority of the Machine Shop Supervisor — anything the Supervisor is qualified to do at a machine, this lead must be able to do without help, because after 2:30 PM there is no help. What it does not carry is the Supervisor's management scope: hiring, discipline, pay, and cross-department priority calls stay with the Supervisor. Full technical authority — set up, prove out, edit programs, and buy off first pieces on any machine in the shop Stop production when a quality or safety concern requires it — same authority as the Supervisor Re-sequence jobs & operators within the shift when a machine goes down or priorities demand it Escalate & recommend — people issues, schedule conflicts, and anything needing a morning decision go to the Supervisor via pass-down or phone Essential Responsibilities Shift Handoff & Communication On second shift, the pass-down IS the communication channel. Management is not there to see what happened — anything not written down or called in did not happen. A machine that ran perfectly all night and a machine that crashed both look the same at 6:00 AM unless this lead communicates. Overlap with the Machine Shop Supervisor at shift start — review the day's status, tonight's priorities, problem jobs, and what must finish before close Leave a written end-of-shift pass-down every night: what ran, what finished, what's still in a machine, what broke, what deviated from the plan and why, and what QC or the Supervisor needs to see first thing in the morning Escalate by phone when it can't wait until morning — know the difference between a note and a call (a crashed spindle is a call; a dull tool is a note) Document quality escapes, scrap events, tool failures, and near-misses to the same standard as first shift Give direct, honest feedback to second-shift operators in real time; report performance and attendance issues to the Supervisor Production & Execution Own the shift. Execute the second-shift queue set by the Supervisor and own machine utilization from 2:30 PM to close — if a spindle is idle, this lead owns why Re-sequence work within the shift when a machine goes down or a setup stalls — keep spindles turning, then note the deviation in the pass-down Assign second-shift operators across all Haas machines (VF2-SS, VF2, VF3-SSYT, VF3, GR-510), balancing cycle time, setup complexity, and operator skill level Stage tooling, fixtures, and material for tonight's jobs and tomorrow morning's first jobs so first shift starts cutting, not searching Track cycle times and flag deviations from programmed values Fill gaps without hesitation. When operators are absent, run any machine in the department to keep production moving. The schedule comes first. Setup & Technical — Supervisor-Level, Required ⓘ This section is the reason this role exists as written. Every item below matches the Machine Shop Supervisor's technical scope — and on second shift, there is no fallback if this lead can't do it. Set up and prove out CNC jobs — verify work-holding, tooling, offsets, and first-piece dimensions before releasing to production Read, interpret, and when necessary edit G-code on the floor to correct issues or optimize cycle time — with no engineer in the building Troubleshoot machining issues independently: chatter, tool deflection, dimensional drift, surface finish problems — resolve them or safely park the job with a clear write-up Keep setup sheets, tool lists, and work instructions current — flag gaps and errors back through the Supervisor Maintain tooling availability on shift and manage tool wear proactively — flag reorder needs before stock-outs Feed fixture issues, DFM feedback, and program problems to manufacturing engineering through the Supervisor pass-down Quality & Compliance Enforce AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015 work instructions for every CNC operation on shift Ensure first article inspections (per AS9102) are completed and documented before production runs — including making the first-piece call per work instructions when QC is not on shift Verify in-process and final dimensions meet drawing tolerances — especially for high-risk programs: 1062 1064 1087 1093 1126 1157 1161 1169 1199 1209 When in doubt, quarantine. Hold suspect parts and material for morning QC review with a written description of the concern — never pass a question mark downstream Ensure operators use calibrated inspection equipment correctly and follow FOD prevention practices People & Shift Leadership Be the senior person in the shop — set the tone for safety, quality, and accountability on second shift Train and coach second-shift operators on machine operation, setup procedures, in-process inspection, and shop safety Be the first point of contact for operator questions on tooling, offsets, and setup issues Track attendance on shift and report issues to the Supervisor — this role does not own discipline or pay decisions Maintain a safe work environment — enforce PPE requirements, machine guarding, chip management, and housekeeping standards Secure the shop at close — machines in a safe state, work areas clean, and building secured per closing procedure. This lead is the last one out. Requirements ✓ 5–7 years hands-on CNC machining experience, including 3- and 4-axis VMC setup and operation — the same technical bar as the Machine Shop Supervisor ✓ Proven ability to work without technical backup — can set up, prove out, and troubleshoot jobs with no engineer or supervisor in the building ✓ Able to read AND edit G-code; familiarity with Haas CNC controls strongly preferred ✓ Ability to read and interpret GD&T on engineering drawings ✓ Strong knowledge of cutting tools, work-holding, speeds and feeds for composites, aluminum, and plastics ✓ Experience in an AS9100 or ISO 9001 certified shop ✓ Strong written communication — the nightly pass-down is a core deliverable of this job, not paperwork ✓ Comfortable directing peers while running a machine of their own ✓ Must be on the floor, not in an office — this is a working lead role ✓ Willing and able to run any machine in the department when needed to maintain schedule Preferred Prior lead, senior machinist, or off-shift experience in a manufacturing environment Experience machining carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and composite sandwich structures Background in medical device or aerospace manufacturing Bilingual English/Spanish (strong plus given team composition) CAM programming experience (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or equivalent) for program verification Experience with CMM operation What This Role Is Not To be clear about boundaries — these distinctions matter for setting expectations with candidates and the team. Not the department supervisor. This role does not handle hiring, performance reviews, pay decisions, disciplinary actions, or cross-department scheduling. The Machine Shop Supervisor owns those across both shifts. This role runs the floor at night, directs the shift's work, and feeds the Supervisor everything needed to manage the department. Not a manufacturing engineer. This role does not develop new CNC programs from scratch, design fixtures, or lead formal root-cause investigations — engineering owns that. But unlike the day-shift lead role, this role is expected to edit and correct programs at the machine, because engineering is not in the building at night. Not a caretaker shift. Second shift is held to the same output, quality, and documentation standards as first shift. "It can wait until morning" applies to decisions that need management — not to production, not to quality, and not to the pass-down. Why This Role Exists Machines only make money when spindles are turning, and one shift caps the shop's output at eight hours a day. Second shift extends CNC capacity on the same machines — Haas VMCs running medical, defense, and aerospace parts that demand tight tolerances and zero-defect quality — but only if someone in the building can handle everything those machines and parts throw at them. That is why this lead has to match the Supervisor technically: at night, there is no one else. The bottom line: this role exists to keep machined parts moving after first shift goes home — set it up, prove it out, fix it, run it, and hand it off clean in the morning.
