Software: CAM and 2D/3D CAD (Insight CAM and SolidWorks experience a plus)
Why this job is worth considering
MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Fabrication Engineering Group (Group 72) builds low-volume, high-complexity hardware for national security programs — space imaging, high-energy lasers, ground-based radar, and undersea communications. This opening is focused on wire EDM, with room to grow into sinker EDM, hole popping, and milling, plus exposure to additive manufacturing and diamond turning as your skills expand. You'll develop your own fabrication strategy, design and build custom fixtures, and work with real autonomy on most jobs while collaborating closely with other machinists and engineers on the more complex work.
What you'll be doing
Machines, controls and software
This role centers on wire EDM — programming, setup, and operation — with additional experience in sinker EDM, hole popper, and milling considered a strong plus. Equipment includes a GF Machine 440cc wire EDM with rotary head, a GF Machine FO350 sinker EDM, a Titan Force 30 drill EDM, and System 3R Zero Point Positioning for repeatable setups. Programming is done with CAM software (Insight CAM experience is a plus) from 2D/3D CAD models (SolidWorks experience is a plus), alongside standard MS Office tools.
