About The Position

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).

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• Aerospace/Defense machining background
• Large complex VTL programming experience
• SolidWorks familiarity (model review / basic edits)

Responsibilities

• 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)
