About the Role
Bowhead is seeking a qualified Machinist to join the Machine Shop team at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) in Virginia. This position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with the U.S. Navy in the development of prototypes and short-run production work, contributing to critical national defense projects.
Our machinists are responsible for programming, setting up, and machining parts in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) specifications and models. The role involves working with a diverse range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, Inconel, and titanium. While the shop utilizes a mix of mill and lathe work, current project demands have shifted toward more lathe-focused machining. You will operate a variety of equipment, primarily Haas, Fadal, and ProtoTraks machines, and use standard measuring tools to inspect parts for tight tolerances.
This intermediate-level position requires the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team. There may be occasions where you will be required to assist colleagues with programming or machining techniques. Bowhead provides comprehensive in-house and at-home training on SolidWorks and CAMWorks, offering opportunities for continuous skill development and career advancement. Government-provided tools will be available to support your work.
Hiring Process & Requirements
Security clearance is a mandatory requirement for this role. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the Secret level. U.S. citizenship is a requirement for Secret clearance at this location.
