Fairmount Technologies (FT) is a growing advanced manufacturing company developing tooling-free CNC systems that dramatically reduce cost and lead time for aerospace and defense manufacturers. Our machines are already in production, running on real factory floors, and demand is accelerating.

🚀 Recent milestone: FT was selected for a U.S. Department of Defense APFIT award, supporting deployment of our systems across multiple Air Force maintenance depots. This marks a major step as we scale production and expand our engineering team.

We’re looking for a CNC Machinist Intern to join our small, highly technical team and help fabricate, integrate, and bring to life next-generation machine systems.
