About The Position

This is an opportunity to join a globally recognized, privately held industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in high-performance heavy machinery and advanced work tools. Built on a fierce commitment to innovation, safety, and a zero-layoff history, this organization completely rejects rigid corporate politics, creating an environment where employee longevity and professional craftsmanship are the standard. This senior-track position is designed for an expert CAM professional who thrives on solving complex machining puzzles and wants to escape the monotony of high-volume production. Taking the helm of custom programming operations, you will develop programming architecture for high-complexity, low-volume industrial components engineered from high-strength alloys. Operating as a foundational technical partner, you will work closely with design engineering and shop floor teams to troubleshoot tool paths, design custom workholding, and optimize manufacturing methods. The organization protects your work-life balance with exceptional shift flexibility and directly shares in its macroeconomic success through a robust profit-sharing program. It is the ideal setup for a sharp analytical programmer seeking unmatched stability, technical freedom, and a secure career home.

Requirements

Verifiable, advanced programming experience in a heavy CNC manufacturing environment, with a proven ability to independently write computer code from scratch within Mastercam.
Expert-level mastery of industrial blueprint reading, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and the practical application of precision measurement metrics.
A strong background in tooling application and operational sequencing.
Sharp critical-thinking skills to troubleshoot complex machine tool paths on the fly and mentor junior machining personnel on code interpretation.
A rock-solid, dependable work history that demonstrates organizational commitment and multi-year tenures at previous employers; frequent job-hopping will not be evaluated.

Nice To Haves

Direct exposure to 5-axis machining environments or Visual Basic coding is a significant advantage.

Responsibilities

Developing, testing, and optimizing complex multi-axis CNC programs from scratch using Mastercam, establishing the ideal manufacturing methods and tooling strategies for advanced industrial builds.
Analyzing engineering job orders, structural blueprints, and 3D CAD data models to determine the optimal sequence of operations and custom tool selections.
Maintaining and auditing the central corporate CNC program and routing database, ensuring all product files are accurately stored by machine process and type.
Providing real-time technical support to production floor teams, identifying and resolving machining roadblocks related to setups, tooling dynamics, and code logic.
Participating in the engineering and design of custom jigs, workholding, and specialized fixtures to maximize manufacturing throughput and ensure 100% part compliance.
Leading localized Lean manufacturing initiatives and conducting time studies to evaluate actual output against production and setup engineering standards.
Collaborating directly with design engineering teams to review prototypes and ensure manufacturing processes are fully optimized for maximum efficiency and quality.
