Machine Shop Technician

Boom is building Superpower — a next-generation natural gas turbine being developed at a pace and cost point the industry says isn't possible. The parts that go into it have to be right. This role is how that happens at the bench. What this job is Machine Shop Technician is a hands-on production support role at the center of a working machine shop. You'll deburr and clean machined parts, do light bench assembly, verify dimensions, prep hardware for outside processes like anodizing and plating, mark and kit parts, and keep the shop organized and functional. You'll support machinists with material handling and fixturing, track consumables before they run out, and perform machine maintenance as part of your regular responsibilities. You'll also get real exposure to CNC and CMM programming. Not as a future promise — as part of the job. If you want to grow toward machining or programming, this shop will give you that path. If you don't pursue it, that's a signal too. This is not a role where you do the same task in the same order every day. Parts change, priorities shift, and the shop needs someone who figures out what needs to happen next without being told. What you'll do Deburr, edge-break, and clean machined parts using hand tools, files, abrasives, and shop wash equipmentPerform basic dimensional verification using calipers, micrometers, and gauges before parts move to the next operationLight bench assembly and fitting — pressing bearings, installing inserts, fitting mating partsMask and prep parts for outside processes including anodizing, plating, and powder coatMark parts using laser, electrochemical etching, engraving, stamping, or labeling per drawing requirementsBag, tag, and kit hardware so engineers and machinists can find what they needMaintain machine tools — perform scheduled maintenance tasks and flag issues before they become downtimeSupport CNC and CMM programming as skills developOperate a forklift to move material, tooling, and work-in-progress around the shopTrack consumables and supplies and flag when stock needs replenishmentMaintain 5S discipline in your work area and contribute to shared spaces You probably have Hands-on experience in a machine shop or precision manufacturing environmentComfort with hand measurement tools — calipers, micrometers, gaugesFamiliarity with deburring, part cleaning, and prep for outside processesForklift certification or willingness to get certifiedEnough experience in a structured shop to know what you don't want You'll thrive here if You find work without being directed.
