Why This Role Exists

This role exists due to continued growth and increased customer demand in the aerospace and medical sectors.

At Prosper-Tech Machine & Tool, this position plays a key role in developing and optimizing CNC turning processes for high-mix, small-batch components used in Aerospace, Space, Defense, and Medical Device applications. This is not a “monitor the machine” role — it’s a hands-on engineering position focused on precision, process control, and continuous improvement.
