About The Position

ALIGN PRECISION is growing in Horsham, Pennsylvania, and we’re looking for talented CNC Programmers to join our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a highly skilled team supporting advanced manufacturing and close-tolerance machining. You’ll work with modern equipment, sophisticated CAD/CAM technology, and challenging components while collaborating with engineers, machinists, and manufacturing leaders to develop efficient, repeatable processes. This role is ideal for a programmer who is comfortable working in a close-tolerance milling environment and has hands-on experience with multi-axis and 5-axis machining.

Requirements

5+ years of Mastercam experience in a production machining environment; less experience may be considered for entry-level candidates with strong technical skills.
Proven experience programming 5-axis 3+2 machining.
Experience in a close-tolerance milling environment.
Strong understanding of GD&T.
Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to interpret complex engineering drawings.
Ability to understand machining parameters, including speeds, feeds, depth of cut, tooling, and horsepower requirements.
Strong mathematical skills, including geometry, trigonometry, fractions, ratios, and proportions.
Self-motivated, dependable, flexible, and highly detail-oriented.
Ability to organize, prioritize, communicate, and manage multiple projects.
Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to take ownership of projects from concept through production.
Ability to read, analyze, and interpret technical documentation, engineering drawings, tooling catalogs, machining references, and technical information related to machining processes.
Ability to effectively communicate technical information to machinists, supervisors, engineers, and other internal customers is essential.

Nice To Haves

5-axis simultaneous programming experience.
Vericut experience.
SolidWorks experience.
Custom Macro B programming experience.
CNC probing and in-process inspection programming experience.
Additional experience in advanced multi-axis machining and process development.
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field preferred.
Approximately 10 years of manufacturing experience preferred.
5+ years of Mastercam experience preferred.
2+ years of SolidWorks experience preferred.
1+ year of Vericut experience preferred.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain multi-axis CNC programs using Mastercam CAD/CAM software.
Program advanced 5-axis 3+2 machining; simultaneous 5-axis programming experience is highly desirable.
Collaborate with Process Engineers, machinists, supervisors, and other programmers to develop effective machining processes.
Use Vericut machine simulation to verify programs and help ensure collision-free machining.
Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, tooling information, and process specifications.
Conduct program reviews, test runs, and troubleshooting to ensure programs produce quality parts to specification.
Optimize cutting strategies, speeds, feeds, tooling, workholding, and machining sequences for quality and efficiency.
Design workholding and fixtures using SolidWorks and/or Mastercam.
Troubleshoot machining and programming issues and provide technical support to machinists and supervisors.
Incorporate machine probing routines into CNC programs for validation and in-process inspection.
Utilize Custom Macro B programming to develop special functions as required.
Contribute to continuous improvement and standardization of CNC programming and manufacturing processes.
Take ownership of programming projects and work collaboratively to support customer delivery commitments.
Perform other duties as assigned by the Engineering Manager or Director of Engineering.
