CNC Programmer

We are seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to join our precision machining team. The ideal candidate is a self-sufficient machinist and programmer who can take a part from a drawing (or CAD model) all the way through to a completed, inspected component with minimal supervision. This role requires strong hands‑on setup experience alongside modern CAM programming skills, and the ability to work within an AS9100-certified quality system handling controlled/export‑restricted goods.

• Program CNC machining operations using modern CAM software (SolidCAM experience is a strong plus, but proficiency in other major CAM platforms is acceptable)
• Develop and optimize toolpaths for 3, 4, and 5‑axis milling operations, including 5‑axis simultaneous programming
• Perform machine setup independently on 3, 4, and 5‑axis mills
• Design, select, and build work holding and fixturing solutions to support efficient, repeatable production
• Write, edit, and troubleshoot G‑code directly at the machine control as needed
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and 3D models to plan complete machining strategies from raw stock to finished part
• Run first‑article and production parts, making in‑process adjustments to hold tolerance and finish requirements
• Select appropriate tooling, speeds, feeds, and cutting strategies based on material and part geometry
• Perform in‑process and final inspection to verify parts meet print specifications
• Maintain accurate documentation in accordance with AS9100 quality procedures, including process sheets, setup sheets, and revision control
• Follow all controlled goods / export control (ITAR/EAR) requirements, including proper handling, storage, and access restrictions for regulated materials, drawings, and data
• Collaborate with management, quality, and production planning to resolve design or manufacturability issues
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with shop safety standards

• Proven experience programming and setting up 3, 4, and 5‑axis CNC mills
• Strong working knowledge of fixturing and work holding design
• Solid understanding of G‑code and ability to make manual edits at the control
• Proficiency with a modern CAM software package (SolidCAM preferred; Mastercam, Fusion 360, Power Mill, NX CAM, or similar accepted)
• Demonstrated experience with 5‑axis simultaneous programming
• Ability to work independently —
  programmers are expected to be fully proficient in machine setup and capable of running a part from drawing to completion without external assistance
• Familiarity with AS9100 documentation and quality procedures
• Understanding of controlled goods / export control restrictions and ability to comply with associated handling and confidentiality requirements
• Strong blueprint reading skills, including GD&T interpretation
• Ability to select proper tooling, speeds, and feeds for various materials (aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, Inconel, Monel, etc.)
• Basic proficiency with precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, CMM familiarity a plus)

• SolidCAM experience strongly preferred
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other tightly regulated manufacturing environments
• Familiarity with probing systems and in‑machine inspection
• Experience with post‑processor customization
• Eligibility to work with controlled/export‑restricted goods (may require candidates to meet specific citizenship/residency criteria per government regulations)

• Minimum 3–5+ years of CNC programming and machining experience (multi‑axis experience required)
• Technical diploma/certificate in CNC Machining, Tool & Die, or related field preferred, or equivalent hands‑on experience

• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs
• Comfortable working in a shop‑floor environment

• Casual dress
• On‑site parking
• Paid time off

• Concord, ON L4K 5T2: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (preferred)
