Volund is building propulsion systems using advanced automation, precision manufacturing, and rapid iteration. The CNC Lathe Programmer owns parts from engineering model through finished component: programming in NX CAM, designing processes and workholding, setting up and proving out jobs, operating machines, and troubleshooting issues. The work includes precision turning components for jet engines and spans one-off prototypes as well as higher-volume production. The role uses the factory’s NX and Teamcenter digital thread and works directly with design and manufacturing engineers to improve manufacturability and scale production.

Requirements

  • Strong hands-on CNC lathe programming, setup, and operation experience; multi-axis and live tooling experience preferred.
  • Proficiency with Siemens NX CAM, or clear ability to become proficient quickly.
  • Ability to read complex drawings and apply GD&T.
  • Ability to program, set up, and run jobs independently.
  • Experience spanning prototype and production environments.
  • U.S. Person status required under ITAR.

  • Background in aerospace, defense, or high-precision manufacturing.
  • Experience optimizing processes for higher-volume production.

Responsibilities

  • Program complex turning and mill-turn work in Siemens NX CAM, including live tooling, C/Y-axis, and multi-task operations.
  • Take parts from engineering model and drawing through process planning, tool selection, workholding, setup, prove-out, and first article.
  • Design and implement soft jaws, fixtures, and process strategies for prototype speed and production repeatability.
  • Set up and operate machines independently, without handing off the work.
  • Optimize programs for quality, tool life, and cycle time as volumes increase.
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and make changes to bring parts into specification.
  • Generate and maintain documentation, setup sheets, and process data to preserve the digital thread.
  • Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineers to improve manufacturability as production scales.

Benefits

  • Equity package.
  • Platinum healthcare benefits, with medical, dental, and vision plans at no cost to the employee.
  • 100% covered basic life and AD&D insurance and long-term disability insurance.
