  • Being part of a high-growth environment with opportunities for personal and professional development
  • Join a culture that values innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement

About the Role

LA Gauge is seeking a highly skilled 5-Axis CNC Programmer to support our advanced aerospace and defense manufacturing operations. The Programmer will be responsible for developing and verifying CNC programs for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling centers as well as lathes. Using Mastercam for programming and VeriCut for verification, the individual will create precise, efficient machining processes to support production of high-tolerance, complex components.

Requirements : Key Responsibilities

  • Develop CNC programs using Mastercam for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining centers, and lathes.
  • Perform program verification and simulation in VeriCut to ensure accuracy and eliminate collisions.
  • Generate detailed runbooks, setup sheets, and tool logs to support machinists on the shop floor.
  • Create and maintain cutter tool logs with correct feeds, speeds, and tool life management.
  • Load, prove out, and troubleshoot CNC programs on production machines.
  • Collaborate with machinists, engineers, and quality personnel to ensure manufacturability and compliance with aerospace standards.
  • Optimize toolpaths for cycle time reduction, surface finish improvement, and tool life extension.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives in programming standards, machining practices, and process documentation.
  • Maintain adherence to AS9100D quality requirements, internal procedures, and customer specifications.

    • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of CNC programming experience, with strong expertise in 5-axis programming and proficiency in 3- and 4-axis programming (lathe programming preferred).
  • Advanced proficiency in Mastercam for multi-axis milling and turning, with experience using VeriCut or similar verification software for program validation.
  • Solid understanding of machining principles, cutting tool technologies, and GD&T, with hands-on experience supporting program prove-outs on the shop floor.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints.
  • Strong organizational skills for preparing setup sheets, tool logs, and runbooks.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced aerospace / defense manufacturing environment.
  • Knowledge of AS9100 standards and customer quality requirements (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon).
  • Aerospace / defense machining experience preferred.
  • Must be able to stand for 60-80% of the work day
  • Continuous improvement mindset with exposure to Lean Manufacturing practices.

    • What We Offer

  • Competitive Pay
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage
  • 401k
  • Cash Balance Plan (fully funded by LA Gauge
  • Life and AD&D Insurance
  • Generous Time Off
  • Two Weeks PTO
  • 11 Paid Holidays
