## Description

This opportunity is for a Prototype Machinist / NC Programmer in support of the Engineering & Prototype Laboratory (EPL) Team. Our Team provides Engineering and Fabrication support for research-and-development initiatives within Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control. As a Prototype Machinist / NC Programmer you will be responsible for interpreting Drawings and 3D Models, developing fabrication processes, and generating NC code in a "Build to Print" environment.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

 * Plan, tool, and set up multi-axis mills, lathes, and mill-turn machines (including 5-axis contouring) for complex prototype hardware.
 * Create and verify NC programs using CAD/CAM software to meet tight tolerances.
 * Fabricate fixtures, work-holding solutions and custom tooling to support unique partgeometries.
 * Measure and inspect machined components, ensuring compliance with engineering specifications.
 * Prepare hardware for test or field deployment, exercising independent judgment on execution methods.
