Precision CNC Machining for Defense Teams
Defense companies in San Jose need parts that are exact, traceable, and compliant. A weapon mount that's out of spec affects reliability in the field. We machine aluminum 7075, 4340 steel, and titanium 6Al-4V to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. We are pursuing ITAR registration and handle controlled technology with proper export controls.
Shop Pursuing ITAR Registration
We are registered with the DDTC under ITAR. Defense and controlled-technology projects are handled by US persons only with proper export procedures.
Mil-Spec Materials
We machine aluminum 7075, 4340 steel, titanium 6Al-4V, and mil-spec alloys with full material certs and heat lot traceability.
Full Traceability
Every part gets a job number with records of material, programs, and operator sign-offs. Your program office can request records at any time.
Defense Manufacturing in San Jose
San Jose and the broader Bay Area have a large and growing defense technology presence. Many of the biggest defense primes — Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon — have significant Bay Area operations focused on electronics, sensors, and space systems. The Valley's deep talent in RF systems, electro-optics, and software-defined hardware makes it a natural fit for advanced defense programs. ITAR compliance is non-negotiable for this work. We are registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and handle all controlled-technology projects with U.S.-person-only access and proper export control procedures. Defense teams in San Jose also need suppliers who move fast. Program timelines are tight, engineering reviews happen quickly, and parts need to show up when they're supposed to. We turn prototype defense hardware in 3 to 7 business days and provide the dimensional inspection reports and material certs your program office will need. From weapon system housings to ruggedized electronics enclosures to optical mounts for sensor systems, we machine the parts Bay Area defense teams need — with the documentation they require.
