CNC Programmer

CNC Programmer

Overview: Join a legacy tooling organization with over a century of manufacturing excellence, specializing in injection molding and precision machining.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, optimize, and maintain CNC programs using Mastercam for both small and large plastic injection molds.
• Translate engineering drawings and specifications into efficient CNC routines to machine molds, dies, and related tooling.
• Collaborate closely with design, engineering, and machining teams to ensure optimal setup, tool paths, cycle times, and accuracy.
• Conduct program simulations and dry-runs to verify tool paths, correct errors, and minimize scrap.
• Support mold repair and revisions, including reprogramming as needed to accommodate design or material changes.
• Monitor CNC operations, adjust feeds and speeds, and make tooling recommendations to maintain quality and throughput.
• Document program revisions, tooling data, and cycle-time improvements for shop-wide knowledge sharing.

Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Mastercam is required, with proven experience in generating 3 & 5‑axis toolpaths for complex mold components.
• Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, tooling, G‑code, feeds, speeds, and machine kinematics.
• Experience working in injection mold making, die/mold repair, or contract machining is preferred.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, perform basic calculations, and apply GD&T principles.
• Detail‑oriented, strong problem‑solver with excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• A proactive approach to process improvement and a commitment to workmanship and precision.

Why This Role Matters:

• Play a key role in a full-service mold making facility, helping take tooling from design to mold sampling in-house.
• Work on a diverse mix of projects, from new mold builds to complex revisions and texturing.
• Be part of a mid-sized team (50+ employees, ~45,000 sqft facility) that values both craftsmanship and innovation.
• Contribute to a company that has stood the test of time by maintaining quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service.
