CNC Programmer

We’re hiring a CNC Programmer to develop, prove out, and optimize CNC programs for 4-axis milling and large, complex VTL turning . This role is hands-on and shop-focused—success here is about strong machining fundamentals across multiple axes, smart tooling strategy, and tight collaboration with operators.

You’ll program from prints, sketches, and SolidWorks models , working with Mastercam or NX and Fanuc controls . Aerospace experience is preferred, and you must be comfortable machining hard alloys (stainless, Inconel, similar).

What You’ll Do

Create CNC programs for milling and / or turning (VTL) from blueprints, sketches, and 3D models

Use CAM software (Mastercam or NX) to generate toolpaths and programs

Review post-processed code to ensure accuracy and correct output for the specific machine / control

Partner with operators for program prove-out, cycle time improvements, and continuous optimization

Troubleshoot machining / process issues with Engineering and Plant Leadership

Select proper cutting tools and machining strategies for the material / application

Support process planning : identify risks / issues and help implement efficient, repeatable methods

Design / develop or specify workholding / fixturing (independently or with Engineering)

Required Qualifications

5+ years CNC programming experience using Mastercam or NX

Strong programming background for 4-axis machining (5-axis is a plus, not required)

Experience with Fanuc controls

Experience machining hard alloys (e.g., stainless, Inconel, similar high-performance materials)

Solid understanding of :

Machining fundamentals (feeds / speeds, tool selection, workholding)

GD&T

Precision measurement tools

Microsoft Office basics

Ability to read and interpret prints and models confidently

Preferred Qualifications

Aerospace / Defense machining background

Large complex VTL programming experience

SolidWorks familiarity (model review / basic edits)
