JOB PURPOSE:
At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric propulsion systems in the world to enable sustainable electric aircraft. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric aircraft. We have several power classes of motors ranging from 30kW to 3MW and are selling to markets of aviation, aerospace and defense, marine, and specialized ground vehicles.
We are looking to hire a Jr. Machinist who will be responsible for fabrication of parts, setting up CNC machines, and upkeep of the H3X machine shop. The ideal candidate will have an associate degree in Precision Machining or similar, have 0-2 years of experience in a shop environment and have great attention to detail. This is a dynamic role that will apply machining practices in a variety of ways and must be flexible to adjust to critical-path deliverables and quick-turn machining operations. This role will have exposure to a range of different machines, and candidates should be interested in a long-term position at H3X to develop their skills to eventually become a more proficient machinist.

COMPANY BENEFITS:
At H3X, our mission is to develop the most advanced electric aircraft propulsion systems in the world to enable sustainable aviation. The current aerospace industry is moving at an incremental pace towards carbon-free flight and this slow rate of progress just isn't going to cut it if we want to hit the goals set forth by the Paris Climate Agreement. Innovation needs to come from the outside and that’s what we’re doing at H3X.
H3X Technologies is a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-power density integrated motor drives for electric aircraft and other high-performance applications. We are a team of multidisciplinary engineers and operators brought together with the singular purpose of developing the most advanced electric aircraft propulsion systems in the world to enable sustainable aviation on a massive scale. Our world-class team is composed of the best and brightest from Tesla, SpaceX, GE Aviation, and Siemens with deep knowledge in aerospace, electric machines, power electronics, material science, control systems, and advanced manufacturing. The high performance of our core technology is made possible by our own proprietary manufacturing processes for motor stacking, winding, and assembly, and all of the design and testing for our products is done in-house. Our 17,000 sq-ft headquarters in Louisville, Colorado is where we do all of our design, manufacturing, and testing. Our vision is to become the world’s leading supplier of aviation-grade electric propulsion systems by 2030.
