5 Axis CNC Programmer NX
About The Position
In this role, you will program 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling machines using Siemens NX. You will analyze blueprints, CAD models, and technical drawings to develop machining strategies, create setup sheets and detailed instructions for machinists, and support setup and machining for complex or critical jobs. You will also conduct test runs and troubleshoot programs to ensure accuracy, estimate programming time, cycle time, and material requirements, and develop work plans aligned with project timelines. Collaboration with engineering on tooling, fixtures, and manufacturability is key, as is assisting with CAD modeling, assemblies, and tooling design. The role also involves identifying process improvements and optimizing machining efficiency. This is a high-impact, hands-on programming role supporting aerospace and experimental manufacturing work.
Requirements
- 10+ years of CNC programming experience (milling)
- 3+ years programming with Siemens NX
- Experience with 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining
