At Aeon, we develop advanced missile systems, built for ground and air platforms. We take pride in our dynamic team that allows us to iterate, build and test quickly. If you are looking to solve hard problems with a passionate team in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, Aeon is the place for you.

We are a vertically integrated defense manufacturer developing and producing advanced strike systems and critical subsystems at industrial scale for major defense programs. From its 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, Aeon will bring weapon design and production under one roof, including propulsion, fuzing, autonomy and other critical subsystems. Led by former special operators, senior government officials and experienced aerospace and defense engineers, Aeon is a trusted partner to U.S. government customers and industry.

 We are looking for a Machinist with lathe experience to help build a world-class manufacturing organization as we transition from new product introduction (NPI) and development into full-rate production of complex guided-munition components and subassemblies. This is a foundational entry-level role where you will run CNC equipment and produce flight-critical parts while learning the processes used to build them. Working closely with senior machinists and Manufacturing Engineering, you will build core machining skills and help turn early production into repeatable, high-quality output.
