Metal casting and machining for aerospace, aviation, and extreme-environment applications
MetalTek manufactures precision metal components for high-heat, high-wear, and high-corrosion environments across aerospace, aviation, and industrial sectors. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward CAD, CNC, and production control (AutoCAD Electrical, Siemens NX, Fanuc, PLC) with AWS for observability — a manufacturing-first footprint with minimal modern DevOps or data infrastructure. Active hiring is concentrated in manufacturing and junior roles, with current pain points centered on production quality, process optimization, and NDT technician shortages.
MetalTek is a precision metal component manufacturer headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with 501–1,000 employees serving thousands of customers across more than 35 countries. The company specializes in metal casting, machining, heat treatment, and fabrication for demanding applications including aerospace and aviation. Their operational scope spans product design and prototyping through to delivery, with active focus on process optimization (centrifugal casting, melting, heat treatment), inventory management, and quality accreditation. Current priorities include reducing production interruptions, improving machining quality, and addressing skilled labor gaps in non-destructive testing.
AutoCAD Electrical and Siemens NX for CAD, Fanuc and CNC equipment for machining control, plus PLC systems for production oversight. Office and AWS X-Ray for enterprise and monitoring needs.
Key projects include optimizing centrifugal casting and melting processes, improving machining quality, cross-training initiatives, new tooling development, and electrical inventory organization.
