Job Description

CNC Programmer

Full-Time | 2nd Shift | Monday-Friday Direct Hire

Are you a CNC Programmer who enjoys solving complex machining problems rather than programming the same parts every day?

We are recruiting for an established precision manufacturer serving demanding aerospace and defense customers. The company operates a modern, climate-controlled machining facility with advanced CNC equipment and invests in the technology and tools its programmers and machinists need to succeed.

This is an opportunity for an experienced CNC Programmer who enjoys challenging work, complex geometries, and a high-mix manufacturing environment.

The Opportunity

You will programa variety of new and geometrically complex components across multiple CNC machining centers. Rather than focusing primarily on repeat production, you will regularly work with new parts, prints, models, tooling strategies, and machining processes.

You will also work directly with machinists and quality personnel to move parts efficiently from programming through production.

What You’ll Do

Develop CAM programs for complex precision-machined components

Program multiple CNC machining centers and new part configurations

Review engineering drawings, solid models, specifications, and sketches to determine machining requirements

Develop efficient machining sequences, tooling strategies, and toolpaths

Apply mathematics, machining knowledge, and problem-solving skills to programming decisions

Work directly with CNC machinists during setup and production

Establish machining expectations and help troubleshoot production challenges

Optimize programs and toolpaths for quality, cycle time, and manufacturing efficiency

Modify programs when needed to resolve quality issues or prevent production delays

Work closely with Quality and CMM inspection personnel

Apply GD&T and metrology principles when developing and troubleshooting machining processes

What We’re Looking For

Experience programming CNC machining centers

Strong CAM programming experience

Ability to interpret engineering drawings, prints, and solid models

Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, tooling, feeds, speeds, and workholding

Understanding of GD&T and precision inspection requirements

Ability to troubleshoot machining and programming problems

Strong mathematical and technical aptitude

Ability to communicate and collaborate with machinists, engineering, and quality

Interest in continuing to develop your CNC programming and manufacturing expertise

CAM Software

Candidates with strong experience using Mastercam, PowerMill, Siemens NX, Fusion 360, EdgeCAM, SolidWorks, or other CAM platforms are encouraged to apply.

For the right experienced programmer, the company is open to investing in the CAM software that best supports your experience and productivity.

Experience That Will Stand Out

Programming complex, tight-tolerance machined components

Low-volume, high-mix manufacturing

Aerospace or defense manufacturing

Mastercam programming

SurfCAM or FeatureCAM

PowerMill or Siemens NX

Multi-axis CNC machining

Strong GD&T and metrology knowledge

Experience working directly with CMM inspection departments

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a direct-hire position with an established precision manufacturer that continues to invest in equipment, technology, and its people.

You will have the opportunity to work on challenging parts rather than spending every day maintaining repetitive production programs.

The company offers:

$35.00 - $45.00 per hour based on experience

Full-time day shift

Monday-Friday schedule

Overtime opportunities

Weekly pay

Retirement plan with 3% company match

Health insurance
