About The Position

Roseville Precision Inc. is seeking an experienced Sheet Metal CAD/CAM Programmer to join our precision manufacturing team in Rocklin, California. This is a full-time, on-site position at our Rocklin, CA manufacturing facility. Remote and hybrid work arrangements are not available for this role. We are looking for someone who already has a solid working foundation in Amada sheet metal programming and precision sheet metal fabrication and can begin contributing to production after learning our internal processes and standards. This is not an entry-level or trainee position. We are not expecting the successful candidate to know every machine or software package in our facility, but they must have practical programming experience and a strong understanding of how sheet metal parts are actually manufactured. Our facility includes Amada punch and laser equipment, TRUMPF press brakes, and HAAS CNC mills. The primary focus of this position is programming and supporting sheet metal production, with opportunities to learn and support additional equipment and software as the company continues to grow. Because this role works closely with our machines, operators, Engineering, Quality, and Production teams, the programmer must be available on-site to support manufacturing and troubleshoot issues directly on the shop floor.

Requirements

Professional experience programming in a precision sheet metal fabrication environment.
Hands-on programming experience with Amada punch and/or laser equipment.
Experience with AP100 or similar Amada programming software.
Practical understanding of CNC programming and sheet metal manufacturing processes.
Strong understanding of: Flat pattern development.
Bend deductions and bend allowances.
Nesting.
Material utilization.
